Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will be having minor knee surgery.
Tom Brady may be under the weather today, but he will be going under the knife soon.
No, this is not for a facelift or any other Hollywood preventative measures to continually fight the losing battle to Father Time. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback will be having minor knee surgery this offseason. Brady just won Super Bowl No. 7 of his illustrious career, helping the Buccaneers win their first since 2002. He had a great time on Wednesday celebrating the victory.
#GoBucs QB Tom Brady will have a minor surgical procedure on his knee, one that coach Bruce Arians described as "a clean up."

It is minor surgery, but it is a big deal for a soon-to-be 44-year-old quarterback
After Brady’s wild and crazy time celebrating his latest Super Bowl victory, you could see a black garment over his knee. Beneath the arduous amount of liquid courage summoned by avocado tequila, you could see an aging knee in pain.
While NFL players have their knees scoped all the time in and out of season, Brady is closer to collecting social security than playing for Michigan.
While mobility has never been part of Brady’s game, despite being a career 1,000-yard rusher, there is no need for him to rush back from a minor knee procedure for OTAs. Let Super Bowl champion backup Blaine Gabbert get all the first-team reps, because it really does not matter. Brady is The GOAT and he will hold that honor probably for the rest of time at quarterback.
His knees might have been shaky on that boat, but it was a boat we all wished we could be on.
