It's official -- Tom Brady will wear #12 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after securing the digits from teammate, Chris Godwin!!!
And here's the crazy part -- Godwin gave it up for FREE!!!
There have been CRAZY stories in the past about players exchanging money, jewelry and more to trade jersey numbers with their teammates.
Most famously, Clinton Portis offered Ifeanyi Ohalete $40k for his #26 ... and the transaction actually ended up in court.
But there was no drama this time around ... with Godwin just handing the number to Brady -- no strings attached.
