I don't want to tape it down to anything and I just don't know where to start to look for answers.

I think you have to pin/tack it, at least most of the jerseys I've seen displayed like that are usually pinned to take all of the weight off the top. If that's TB's autograph, you're not gonna wear it anyway, so you might as well pin it. Also, while you're at it, you might as well invest a few bucks to make sure the glass is coated so the light doesn't discolor the jersey or dim the signature. Congrats on a nice collectible! If you're not going to display it, just fold it neatly and keep it in a dark, dry place.
I don't know where you live, but I'm sure you can find an autograph or collectibles shop that will give you some advice or do it for you. Here's a link to the one in NY where I bought a Beatles' autorgraphed picture. It has a signed Brady Jersey with special artwork for sale on the web page for $2,500. Welcome to Gotta Have It! Collectibles, Inc. Warning: if you go to the site, you might waste an hour or so there; some of the stuff is amazing. Check out the Tom Yawkey, signed letter for $4,500.
