Antonio Brown to Tampa?

[SHOWTIME15]

The rumors are starting up...Mike Lombardi and Pat McAfee have been hearing of rumblings

Antonio Brown to Tampa Bay rumors heating up again

 

[PatsWSB47]

Not very convincing, more like throwing shiit against the wall than a serious take

 

[Guts]

That offense would score on anyone if true

If Brown is eligible to play this year, then I don't see how Tampa is going to lose the SB if they get him. Evans-Brown-Godwin-Gronk-Howard-Brate? Gimme a break.

I thought Arians said earlier that it wasn’t going to happen. If it does, we know who’s wearing the pants in the Bucs organization, I guess.

There are many ways a team loses. The 2007 Patriots lost. The 2020 Bucs are no 2007 Patriots....

Not that he would be the first coach to reverse course but Arians said flat out no a couple months ago. He also worked with AB in Pittsburgh and didn't hesitate to close the door on him which may be something to consider.

 

[luuked]

Between COVID and the suspension(s) for all the insanity coming his way I doubt we will see AB on the field this season.

Many ways.. the most unsurprising and direct one ? Someone getting pushed low into Brady's leg ending his career.

Please let it happen for entertainment purposes alone.

Well, yes, of course...a key injury could derail them. I am assuming health.

I honestly don't understand the need for Brown though. If I were Tampa, I'd fix their defense that was ranked near the bottom of the league last year. And yes, I realize that Winston threw 30 INTs, but he threw 14 INTs in 2018 and the defense still wasn't great.

If the Bucs sign AB. In terms of offensive skills position players: The 2020 Bucs make the 2007 Patriots look like the 2019 Patriots

Don't underestimate Scotty Miller in all this.

I don't see them adding Brown because there is actually no room for him there. Not unless he's willing to just be a 3rd wheel substitute.

If you score 50 points a game you don't need a defense.

I mean similar to the Cam Newton situation if AB accepts a pretty low contract there is not much to lose for them. Yeah there is some opportunity cost involved and fewer chances for young talent but realistically this iteration of the Bucs will be blown up as soon as Brady retires anyway. They are the very definition of win now.

Just make sure that your contract language is ironclad in case of yet another mental breakdown.

 

[PatsBoy12]

He shouldn't be on the field for anyone.

 

[Zarozzor]

Would be the most entertaining offense of all time. 3 Top 10 Wide Receivers on one team

Brady in shotgun

Godwin in slot
Evans
Brown
Gronk
Howard/Brate

Even 2018 Gronk as your #4 option is scary

I don’t think anyone here will believe this level of hyperbole. Anyone who watched every game of the 2007 season would laugh at this comment.

Talk about a lot of mouths to feed if they get him.
