The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are leaving the door open for Tom Brady to return should he change his mind about retirement. If Brady decides to remain retired, the Buccaneers will explore a trade for Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson.

The Bucs paid Brady over $44 million in 2021 as part of a contract that was renegotiated after their Super Bowl win last February.

Wilson, 33, reiterated in a SiriusXM interview on Friday that his "hope and goal is to be back (in Seattle) and keep winning there" and his relationship is closer than ever with Pete Carroll, who speaks with Wilson regularly.
