Tampa Bay Times further reported that Brady never asked for control of the offence. According to the report, Brady had faith that he could collaborate well with Bucs head coach Arians, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen and special assistant Tom Moore. Furthermore, Brady did not ask for any specific player to join him nor did he ask to wear his famed No. 12, which is worn by Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin. 

However, the same report states that Tom Brady had one particular request after he signed the deal. And that was, "He wanted the phone numbers of all his new Bucs teammates."

Leaving the Patriots after 20 successful years might not have been an easy decision for the 42-year-old. However, if reports in the US are to be believed, the three-time NFL MVP is raring to go with his new teammates at Tampa Bay. 

Meanwhile, Bucs No. 12, Chris Godwin is willing to hand let go of No. 12 out of respect for the NFL legend. Speaking to Tampa's media team, Godwin stated, "Just out of respect for what he's done, what he's accomplished and the career he's built for himself, you've kind of got to lean into that respect."
