“Here’s the good news: The good news is, and I say this in all seriousness, is man, there’s only about 10 or 11 relevant teams,” Payton said. “And I think you’re on point, not only Tom but also [Rob] Gronkowski. When someone like Tom comes there, it’s not just the quarterback position. The thing as a coach in the division that concerns you, is you know just the standard’s going to change [in Tampa], and I think that’s a credit to the really, really, really special players.

“And we’re watching a month of my man [Michael Jordan] here,” Payton continued, referring to the ESPN documentary. “He brought up everyone else around him, and I think that same thing will happen with Tom. But I do feel like [him coming to the Bucs] makes it exciting and certainly newsworthy.”

Leave it Payton to take a shot at the Bucs while complimenting Brady.  He’s going to have his hands full with Tampa Bay over the next couple of seasons.
