Edelman would be lethal in that offense, and if Gronk had already worked out a deal, you have the skill positions on Offense to go to a SB.
With the off-season shortened and Tampa already committed to Brady for a 2 to 3 year window, having two guys in the fold with Brady that do not need any off-season work might be very helpful for the fist half of the 2020 season while the other receivers come up to speed. Working with Brady, as we saw last year, is not always easy.
Also what is Howard's real value? Does Tampa value him that highly?
None of this explains why Tampa Bay would overpay like this. Edelman's a great addition, but the Bucs already have Godwin and Evans, so they don't need to take a bath to get Edelman. And Gronk has no value for the Patriots. He can screw them at any second, just by coming out of retirement, since they can't cover his cap hit.
