Tom Brady Game Worn Jersey Purchased By Celebrity For $200k
A Tom Brady game worn jersey purchased by celebrity for $200k. There was a big charity event over the weekend. It was for the Bruce Arians Family Foundation at the Hard Rock event center. Jason Aldean performed an acoustic show plus they had many items up for auction. Different celebrities were also in attendance. The foundation is a “Voice For Children” by supporting and developing programs which help prevent the abuse and neglect of children.
During the event that J.R. from Tampa Bays Hometown Morning Krewe attended, there were lots of Tampa Bay Buccaneer memorabilia that was up for auction. One of the items was a Tom Brady game worn jersey. That jersey was the most expensive item of the night. It was purchased by no other then Jason Aldean himself.
Jason Aldean was backstage getting ready for the show while the auction was going on and had his eye on the Tom Brady game worn jersey. The jersey was up to $150,000 and Aldean peeked his head out from the curtain and said, He would take it up to $200k. No one else bid higher than that, so the Tom Brady game worn jersey was purchased by Jason Aldean for $200k.
Aldean did not wear the jersey during his performance, however he did tease Bruce Arians while onstage saying “he had already got him for $200k that night.
Jason and his family have a home in Florida, so they spend a lot of time in the state. Jason is also a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan. It seems like he is also a big Tom Brady fan, but really who isn’t?
Other items that were up for auction, a Hulk Hogan championship belt went for over $10,000, and someone paid $25,000, for the Rob Gronkowski, Gronk game worn jersey. Both Jason, his wife Brittany, their best friends DJ Silver and his wife were all in attendance. Other celebrities that were there were Buccaneer players and Hulk Hogan himself.
Ranking Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB's From Best To Worst
Tom Brady
Obviously we have to put the GOAT as our number 1 pick for best QB’s in Tampa. Tom brought home a Super Bowl championship to Tampa and added to his impressive ring collection. He was 5-2 in the playoffs, Super Bowl MVP and Pro Bowler. Kind of a no-brainer.

Brad Johnson
It only makes sense that our other Super Bowl winning QB gets the #2 spot on the list. Brad was also a 2002 Pro Bowler. During his 4 years in Tampa he had a 26-23 record and had 64 TD.
Trent Dilfer
Trent Dilfer was our starting BQ before the Brad Johnson era. He was one of the reasons the Bucs we’re somewhat fun to watch during the 1996-1999 seasons. He played for 6 years in Tampa and had a 38-38 record with 70 TD.

Baker Mayfield
After a full season as the Buccaneers starting QB, we thought a fair ranking of Baker would be in the 4th spot. Mayfield ranked among league-leaders in passing touchdowns (7th), passing yards (9th), completions (10th) and passer rating (12th). He became the second player in Buccaneers history to throw for 4,000+ yards, 25-or-more touchdowns and 10-or-fewer interceptions in a single season, joining Tom Brady. As of March 2024 there is still no word on Baker’s next move or current contract. Let’s wait and let him Bake…
Shaun King
Shaun King played on the Buccaneers from 1999-2003. His record was 14-8 with 24 TDs, and 18 INTs. King had a reputation of being good enough to not get in the way of a solid game performance, but not good enough for a deep playoff run.

Doug Williams
Doug Williams spend most of his career in Tampa where he played 67 games and 73 TD. Williams took the team to the playoffs three times in five seasons. Although he never won a Super Bowl in Tampa, he did go on to win SB XXII and earned MVP with the Washington Redskins.
Steve Young
If we could go back in time, we would’ve liked a couple more seasons with Steve Young. Although his time in Tampa was short and he never got the Bucs to the playoffs, he did go on to win two league MVPs and a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers.

Vinny Testaverde
Picked first overall in the 1987 NFL Draft, Vinny Testaverde had high expectations in Tampa. Even though he never made it to a Super Bowl with the team, he still holds several franchise records.

Josh Freeman
Many Bucs fans may remember the dark ages of the Josh Freeman era. His record was 24-35 with 80 TDs and 66 INT. The whole team was struggling during these years and Freeman wasn’t much help. He was eventually released in the middle of his fifth season.
Jameis Winston
We may get some heat for this one. But we think Jameis Winston is one of the worst QBs in Bucs’ history. Even though he had a very successful college career at FSU, in his 5 years with the team he had a 28-42 record with 88 INT. Often blowing the lead in the 4th quarter. Both his first and last throws with the team were pick six’s. All definitely not worth a number 1 round draft pick. And let us not forget about the crab legs incident.
Steve Spurrier
The first round draft pick from UF, Steve Spurrier became the first starting quarterback in Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ history. Although his professional career did not live up to the hype, he still became a very successful coach.
