The Buccaneers should seriously consider re-signing Jameis Winston in 2021

See why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might want to roll the dice on Jameis Winston again in next year’s free agency.

The Tom Brady era is officially underway in Tampa as the Buccaneers kicked off training camp this week with the G.O.A.T. the new man under center.

Gone is former number one overall pick Jameis Winston, who landed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints to backup Drew Brees for a season. Winston, 26, still has plenty of good years ahead of him. Plus, he won’t turn 27 until next January, meaning he could be a highly sought after free agent on the open market next offseason.

Which is why the Buccaneers should seriously consider re-signing him to their roster. As crazy as it sounds, let’s exam the benefits for both parties.

For the Buccaneers, they’ll be getting a quarterback who had a year of tutelage sitting behind one of the best quarterback’s ever in Brees. And, with Brady signed through 2021, Winston could benefit by sitting for another year and learning from the Golden Boy. Two years learning behind two of the game’s greatest quarterbacks ever could pay huge dividends for Winston down the road.

Also, the Buccaneers have a young roster still with guys like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin entering their prime. They don’t want to waste good seasons from those two by rebuilding with a new quarterback post-Brady. Winston already knows this Arians offense, and last season Evans and Godwin both had over 1,100 yards with Winston throwing to them. He can watch Brady running things for a year in 2021, and then jump right in as starter in 2022.

Oh yeah, Brady, Winston and Brees are also part of the exclusive 5,000-yard club.

A very exclusive group! 👏

Winston is loved by his former Bucs teammates, so the locker room chemistry would be there instantly. Plus, for all his off-the-field issues, Winston has been a fixture in and around the Tampa community with his charity work.

It sounds like a crazy idea now, but so did the idea of Tom Brady becoming a Buccaneer.

Tom Brady cracks a joke about his age in recent Instagram post

Bucs QB Tom Brady will be 43 years old when the 2020 kicks off, which makes this Instagram post all the more funny.

Bucs QB Tom Brady will be looked upon to help guide the franchise back to the postseason for the first time since 2007. What many people may tend to forget, though, is that the six-time Super Bowl champion will be 43 years old when the season begins.

While Brady still seems as sharp as a tack, both mentally and physically, Father Time is undefeated. The Bucs are hoping Brady can stave off the inevitable decline for at least two more years.

The quarterback seemingly cracked a joke at his own age (and play style) by posting the below image and caption on Instagram.

Year of the mobile quarterback…

A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady) on

Remember, some people believe part of the reason Patriots head coach Bill Belichick let Brady go was because he wanted a more mobile and athletic quarterback like we’re seeing in the NFL today with guys like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Perhaps that’s why the Patriots rolled the dice with Cam Newton.

So, any chance Brady has more rushing yards with the Bucs than Newton has with the Patriots?

As hilarious as this post is, can we talk about the fact that Brady’s phone is dangerously in the red?

This Florida guy lives on the edge.

MJD thinks Tom Brady will throw more TD passes than Patrick Mahomes

See why NFL analyst Maurice Jones-Drew thinks Tom Brady will have more touchdowns in 2020 than Patrick Mahomes.

One game many NFL fans have circled on their calendars is Week 12’s showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led his squad to a win in Super Bowl LIV, and some believe he’ll do it again in Super Bowl LV, which will be played at RJ Stadium next year.

But more importantly, the regular season game will provide us with hopefully another memorable match between Mahomes and Tom Brady. The two have met in the regular season twice before and once in the AFC Championship Game. It’s new school versus old school, but which quarterback will have the better season in 2020?

Well, if you ask NFL analyst and former running back Maurice Jones-Drew, Brady will have more touchdown passes than Mahomes this season. MJD made the bold prediction on Good Morning Football today, where he was the only analyst willing to take Brady.

Check it out.

A reminder of how much Tom Brady struggled without Gronk last season

Tom Brady’s numbers from last season prove he missed Rob Gronkowski’s presence on the field.

Tom Brady officially arrived at the Bucs team facility yesterday, signaling the beginning of a new chapter in the Hall of Famer’s career.

Brady, who will turn 43 years old next month, is on a mission to prove that he can win big without Bill Belichick. But he’ll have his work cut out for him as he tries to guide the Bucs back to the postseason for the first time since 2007.

Fortunately, Brady will have his old pal Rob Gronkowski right by his side this season. The Buccaneers swung a trade for the retired tight end the week of the NFL draft, adding another a major piece to an already stacked offense. And for those who may think trading for Gronk was just icing on the cake for the Bucs, the truth is that the All-Pro tight end has been a crucial part of Brady’s success in the second half of his career.

Here’s a reminder of how much Brady struggled in 2019 without Gronk on the field.

Brady should see these numbers go up in 2020. Not only will he have Gronk to target, but also O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate.
