The reported signing of quarterback Tom Brady is apparently already paying dividends for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, news of Brady agreeing to join the Bucs has led to an "unexpected high number of players" reaching out to the Buccaneers to express interest in playing alongside TB12.

Schefter called it the "NFL version of the LeBron effect" since NBA players often want the opportunity to be teammates with LeBron James because of his penchant for making those around him better.
