Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht spoke about the reported friction between quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bruce Arians.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers should only experience more than a month of life without quarterback Tom Brady. His retirement was short-lived when he announced his decision to return to the team in 2022 in what has become a very winning NFC. However, there were questions about Brady’s relationship with head coach Bruce Arians, where there were reports of friction between the two.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht was asked by ESPN’s Jenna Laine about the reported friction between Brady and Arians. Licht said there will always be some form of friction on any team.

When Brady announced that his retirement would be short-lived and that he would return to the 2022 season, Arians responded to the news with “total excitement.” After all, the Buccaneers road to Super Bowl 57 will not be as grueling as it would be in the busy AFC.
Not only is Brady returning, but so is wide receiver Chris Godwin and cornerback Carlton Davis on new contracts. The Buccaneers also picked up Brady’s former offensive guard from the New England Patriots in Shaq Mason in a barter.
Brady was still playing at a high level before announcing he was leaving the NFL. He led the entire NFL in finishes (485), yards (5,316), yards per game (312.7) and touchdowns (43). These statistics helped Brady finish second in the NFL MVP poll.
The goal, which has always been the case since Brady came to Tampa Bay, is to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. That’s what Licht, Brady and Arians are looking to do in the 2022 season.
