According to Ian Rapoport, Brady had 2 players that he wanted Tampa Bay to get when he signed with them - Gronk and AB. He now has both of them.

Should anyone question Tom''s desires when he just may have earned his 2nd NFC/NFL Offensive Player of the Week award at 43 years old? Dude has 1900 yards, 18 TDs, 4 INTs with 2 rushing TDs and sacked only 8 times in 7 games.

At this point, if you're Tampa, you give Tom what he wants.

Man, if Antonio Brown actually works out for Tampa, that receiving core may be all-time great. Imagine having Chris Godwin as your WR3 and Scott Miller as the 4th best WR on your team! Just an embarrassment of riches that makes me jealous as a Pats fan.

Add a Gronk that's starting to play like Gronk and Jones being a high quality RB and you have the makings of a Super Bowl winning offense.

Looks like Brady won out over Arians.

Quote
Tom Brady is about to reunite with another member of his Patriots receiving corps, one with whom he only shared one game and one touchdown.

Antonio Brown, his eight-game suspension to begin the 2020 season close to ending, is signing a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN. The Houston Chronicle had the initial report of what was expected to be a Saturday visit between the sides.

“Nobody’s perfect,” Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who invited Brown to work out with him this summer, told reporters on Thursday. “From the conversations I’ve had with him, he’s really been remorseful and he’s been humbled along the way. Like I said, I pray that he can continue to grow, just like anybody.”

Seattle had been the initial favorite to sign Brown due in large part to that connection, as well as warm words from Pete Carroll about the wideout. Brady, however, beat them out.

He visited with Brown in Miami during Super Bowl week, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported in March that, days from signing with Tampa Bay, Brady was eager to bring Brown to his new team. The 42-year-old is gelling well with his new pass catchers, completing 64.1 percent of his passes through his first six games with the Bucs, with 1,541 yards and 14 touchdowns against four interceptions.

Eight different Buccaneers have a touchdown reception through six games, with Mike Evans the runaway leader with six. Old friend Rob Gronkowski had his best game of the season in Sunday’s upset of Green Bay, with his first touchdown and 78 yards from five catches.

Brady’s coach, Bruce Arians, had said in March on CBS Sports Radio “it’s not gonna happen” when asked about the possibility of Brown joining the Buccaneers.

“There’s no room, you know? Probably not enough money. It’s just not gonna happen. It’s just not a fit here,” Arians said, in part. “I just know him, and it’s not a fit in our locker room.”

Tom is determined to make sure he has all the tools to beat out Belichick to the Super Bowl this season  :angel:

I don't think Tom needs to worry. Pats probably won't even make the playoffs. Even if they do, they ain't going far with their crappy offense.


Belichick has made the playoffs one time without Brady. He has failed to do so in six other seasons as head coach. This will be his seventh year failing to make the playoffs as head coach without Tom Brady. Why is anyone surprised the Patriots are awful. Just look at the head coach's below 500 record without having the GOAT to compensate for all his mistakes, especially his mistakes as a talent evaluator (look at the last five Patriot's drafts).

Pats should tank for Trevor Lawrence.  If they lose all their remaining games, they would have worse record than Jets via tie breaker. We aren't going anywhere this season.

TL would love to get drafted by Pats is my guess. He probably returns to college for senior year if Jets hold the pick.

There are some really bad teams this year.  I'm not sure Jacksonville wins another game.

That still might be more games than the Giants win.  The only other winnable game they have left is against the Football Team.

Wentz.. buddy... I'm one of your biggest defenders, but holy moly how stupid can you be to take that sack and fumble the ball?!? That's nearly bad enough to get benched.

Nope it did not.  I expected them to beat Buffalo today.  Didn't happen obviously.
