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.

Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that 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, per sources.

"Excited, humble and hungry ... if there is one thing I have learned about football, it's that nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that ... you earn the trust and respect of those around through your commitment every single day," wrote Brady on Instagram on Friday. "I'm starting a new football journey and thankful for the @buccaneers for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do."

1. We are not going to have any football this year

n/t

[msongs]

2. spoiled multi millionaire gladiator signing an entertainment contract is news?

[jimfields33]

3. The GOAT continues

Good news is he’s finally being paid for his value. Patriots are known for their low pay.

[redstateblues]

5. I'm sure he has suffered financially.(tiny violin) The last pass he threw for the Pats

was a pick six in their loss to my Titans.

[King_Klonopin]

21. That was my immediate thought when it happened in real time:

Tom Brady's last play in a Patriots uniform is going to be a pic-six in a
one-and-done playoff game loss to the Titans.

How sad and anticlimactic. This qualifies as "going out with a whimper."
He should have retired the previous year, going out on a high note.

Most players would never forfeit as much money as he has over the
course of their careers. It helps to have a rich wife.

He finally said "that's enough" and moved on.

Yes, I am a Pats fan (since 1975) and always will be.

Kansas City looks to be the next dynasty. Now everyone can hate on them.

[redstateblues]

22. As a Braves fan, I know you have enjoyed the ride.

Even though the Braves didn't have the success the Pats did, I got used to Atlanta winning their division so often

[jayfish]

8. This Reminds Me So Much Of Joe Montana...

going to the Chiefs. Such a strange destination and he did pretty ok.

[Happy Hoosier]

23. "low pay" LOL. I'm sure he got by....

But then I think Pro sports is the second biggest scam in America.

[stopbush]

4. I wonder how Brady will cheat with the Bucs.

[jmowreader]

6. The problem is...

Brady doesn’t have that many seasons left in him. They might have wanted to teach Winston to not throw so many picks.

[Bengus81]

24. $50M all guaranteed to a 42 year old QB

Wow...guess the Bucs are really hoping for a miracle. And moving over to the NFC my Chiefs and Mahomes can't kick his ASSS in regular play unless we get lucky on the schedule draw with the NFC.

He could be gone by the time KC and the BUCS play each other again.

7. What was the salary of medical professionals once again?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[jayfish]

9. Do Medical Professionals, individually,...

generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the hospitals they work for? ...just on their name? Sorry, it's not the same. Professional athletes deserve the money the leagues pay them.

ON EDIT: ...if not more.

[Drahthaardogs]

11. No. They save human life

Are you for real?

[Paka]

20. Thank you.

It's way over due time to place value on human life over entertainment and the stock market.

[benld74]

17. You're correct they generate millions of $$$$

For
Owners who have millions of $$$$
And
Leagues who have millions of $$$$

For playing a kids game

[blugbox]

18. If football disappeared, how would the world change?

If doctors disappeared, how would the world change?

Their pay should be switched

[Bengus81]

25. Guess they should have become a QB like Brady or Mahomes

[Totally Tunsie]

10. In Belichick we trust.

We'll be just fine.

[milestogo]

12. He should have gracefully retired.

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. Tom who?

(Bitter Patriot's fan here)

[Zorro]

14. Maybe Tom prefers the Tampa weather

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. Sure, I guess. Now he'll finally be able to afford air conditioning.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. If anybody can get Brady killed with sacks,

it's Bruce Arians. His offense single-handedly cut short Andrew Luck's career because of the ridiculously high number of sacks Luck endured running it.

[Marrah_Goodman]

19. I am crushed

sobbing

[Siwsan]

26. He seems to be someone in desperate need to remain relevant

Sad.
