Bucs quarterback Tom Brady broke the NFL world Sunday night when he announced he was returning for a 23rd season. Brady’s return makes the Bucs immediate Super Bowl contenders, and greatly changes the way they will go about free agency. Bucs players and the NFL universe reacted to the news of Brady’s “unretirement.”
General manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians both put out a statement.

Comedian Frank Caliendo who does a pretty good Bruce Arians impression chimed in with a “re-enactment” of Brady’s call to the head coach.

Rams corner Jalen Ramsey who held the distinction of being the last player to allow a touchdown pass from Brady also chimed in.

Brady also had several players and celebrities comment on his instagram post. Those included Antoine Winfield Jr., Donovan Smith, Odell Beckham Jr., Willie McGinest, actor Hugh JAckman, Rapper French Montana, DJ Steve Aoki, golfer Bryson DeChambeau, UFC owner Dana White, Usain Bolt and many more.
Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen also commented on his instagram post saying, “Here we go again! Let’s go Lovvey! Let’s go Bucs!”
Perhaps the best responses though came from rival teams of Brady’s.
