Signed, sealed and delivered -- Tom Brady is officially the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' new starting quarterback.
The six-time Super Bowl champion, who had spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, took to social media Friday morning to announce that he had signed his contract.
It is a two-year deal worth $50 million that is all guaranteed. It also includes another $9 million in incentives -- $4.5 million in incentives per year -- and the contract prohibits tags and trades.
Brady, 42, leaves New England with six Super Bowl rings and 41 playoff starts since 2001.
Brady has five times as many playoff wins, six times as many Super Bowl wins and seven times as many 30-touchdown seasons as all the quarterbacks in Buccaneers history. He could lose his next 283 starts and still have a better career record than the Bucs franchise.
The Bucs have already felt the impact of Brady's arrival. After news broke that Brady would be headed to the Buccaneers earlier this week, fans reported queues of 5,000 to nearly 7,000 people in front of them waiting to purchase season tickets. The Bucs also raised their season-ticket prices by 15% for new season-ticket holders.
