Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Tom Brady
Base Salary: $35,000,000
In all likelihood, Tom Brady will not be suiting up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next season. The seven-time Super Bowl winner announced his retirement (again) following a disappointing year. Because a large amount of the $50 million contract he signed with the Bucs back in ’20 was deferred, Brady’s cap hit will affect the team for the next two seasons. In ’23, Brady will cost the Bucs a whopping $35 on their cap — and he won’t even be playing. That is absolutely brutal for a team trying to rebuild its roster.
