Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to maintain their Super Bowl squad on Friday by rehiring running back Leonard Fournette, and Tom Brady took to Twitter to celebrate.
Fournette and the Bucs reportedly agreed to a $ 3.25 million one-year contract on Friday, with a chance to win up to $ 4 million in incentives, and with that Tampa signed all 22 of his team’s offensive and defensive holders champion.

The Bucs are the first team to keep all holders offensive and defensive from a Super Bowl victory since the 1977 Raiders, according to The Tampa Bay Times.
Brady signed an extension contract earlier this month that will keep him playing with the Bucs until the 2022 season. He initially signed a $ 50 million contract in March 2020, but the organization made it clear after the Super Bowl that it wanted to keep him around as long as he was willing to play.
Bucs general manager Jason Licht said on Friday during an appearance on SiriusXM’s NFL Radio that he is “beyond excitement”.
