Brady, who was seemingly done with football for the past month, has been thinking about what the Bucs need to do to get back to the Super Bowl.

Brady had a list of areas to improve when he spoke to the coach hours after announcing his return, according to the report.

It felt like the morning after the loss to the Rams, when he had a list. I think he was out of retirement by that time.

He didn't want to go out that way. He wanted to make sure we won it all next year.

Brady's return seems to have had an impact on the free-agency moves. Carlton Davis told the Times that Brady's return was a factor in his decision to return to the Buccaneers.

Davis said that he would come back and compete for another ring with the GOAT.

It seems Brady is going to make his farewell tour a final Super Bowl run.

He has a good idea of where this thing is going.
