Bucs QB Tom Brady took to Instagram to wish his former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman a happy birthday.
Bucs QB Tom Brady has been all about love recently. Last week, he posted a happy birthday message on Instagram to tight end Rob Gronkowski, who will be joining him in Tampa this season. This week, he gave a shoutout to his offensive linemen, both past and present.
Today, Brady is back at, this time wishing a happy birthday to buddy and former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman.
Take a look at this screenshot from Brady’s Instagram story.
Edelman, of course, won three Super Bowls with Brady, and may be remembered best for this ridiculous catch in Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons.
Gil Brandt of NFL.com believes Tom Brady is poised for a big year with the Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers had the NFL’s third-best offense last season, but finished just 7-9 thanks in large part to the erratic season Jameis Winston had under center. The former first overall pick threw for 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. Despite some believing Winston would have a bounce-back year in 2020, the Bucs opted instead to sign Tom Brady.
Brady, himself, is coming off a subpar 2019 campaign, at least by his standards, throwing for 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Now that he’s looking to start fresh in Tampa, NFL.com’s Gil Brandt listed Brady as one of seven players poised to play better in 2020.
Per Brandt:
“I’m more interested in seeing whether Brady’s mediocre 2019 performance stemmed more from an age-related drop-off, a lack of top-tier talent at receiver and tight end or an offensive approach by coordinator Josh McDaniels that didn’t feature the kind of complementary running game that helped ease the team’s march to a sixth Super Bowl title two seasons ago. Brady won’t have to worry about skill-position talent in Tampa, with Rob Gronkowski emerging from retirement to join prolific wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and tight ends Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard. The quarterback is obviously entering uncharted waters as he prepares to play a season at age 43…. We all know who will ultimately win the battle between Tom and time. But I get the feeling Brady will put up a much better showing in 2020 than he did last year.”
I don’t think anyone will be surprised if Brady has a big year. The way this guy plays with a chip on his shoulder, he’ll want to prove to everyone he still has what it takes to win, and doesn’t need to be in New England to do it.
Tom Brady in a Bucs helmet may seem strange for Patriots fans, but here’s a look at 5 Bucs legends wearing different helmets.
After nearly two months, we finally caught our first glimpse at Tom Brady on the football field wearing a Bucs helmet.
The six-time Super Bowl champion signed with Tampa Bay back in March after ending his 20-year run with the Patriots. But with the coronavirus pandemic putting life on hold, we hadn’t seen Brady in a Bucs helmet or on the practice field.
While it may seem strange for Patriots fans to see their beloved quarterback donning a different helmet, Bucs fans can certainly relate. Here’s a look at five Bucs legends wearing helmets of different teams.
Bucs QB Tom Brady couldn’t help but reply on Twitter to this hilarious ESPN post.
Yeah, 2020 hasn’t exactly been the year many people imagined. We were supposed to have flying cars and cool robots by now. Instead, well, you know…
ESPN put things into perspective with this solid meme they made and tweeted out, referencing the shocking 28-3 comeback win by the Patriots in Super Bowl LI over the Falcons.
Also, can this further be viewed as Brady throwing some shade towards his new division foe, the Falcons? Unfortunately for fans, we’ll have to wait until Week 15 to see the Bucs and Falcons square off for the first time. That game will take place in Atlanta, with a Week 17 rematch at Raymond James Stadium.
Bucs QB Tom Brady is watching a little golf on Sunday as he prepares for his own charity match.
There’s not much else to do these days than watch TV, and given that it’s Sunday, we could all use a little time to kick up our feet and just hang out.
While sports games might be hard to come by, there is golf for those interested. TaylorMade Driving Relief, at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida, is a charity skins match featuring Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff.
Bucs QB Tom Brady seems to be deep into the golf match today, posting the below photos on his Instagram story.
Brady is probably preparing for his own charity event next Sunday, The Match: Champions for Charity,which will have Brady and Phil Mickelson teaming up against Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods. As expected with a group like this, there’s been plenty of friendly trash talk from both sides.
Reunited and it feels so good! See how Brady wished Gronk a happy birthday on Instagram.
Reunited and it feels so good!
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will be reunited this season on the football field after the Bucs traded for the tight end, bringing him out of his one-year retirement.
Brady and Gronk created magic on the field in New England together, winning three Super Bowls and setting countless records. The pair is hoping to replicate their success in Tampa.
But they are more than just teammates, the two are like brothers, and Brady took to Instagram today to post a hilarious birthday message to Gronk using Sarah McLachlan’s song “Angel” to help him.
Take a look at a screenshot from Brady’s Instagram story.
Tom Brady took to Instagram to show off a member of the Brady clan wearing a Buccaneers helmet.
Tom Brady’s signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may still feel surreal for some, namely because we haven’t seen Brady at the Bucs facility or on the practice field yet because the coronavirus pandemic has put things on lockdown.
The six-time Super Bowl champion did deliver a message to fans recently, though, talking about how excited he is to be a Buccaneer and how great the Tampa community has been to him and his family so far. But even so, we want to see Brady in a Bucs helmet, right?
Well, it finally happened, only it may not be the Brady you were expecting. Take a look below at some screenshots from the quarterback’s recent Instagram story.
Brady wrote the above caption after his daughter said she was going to play in a football game with her dad. I think father Tom knows best on this one.
Bucs QB Tom Brady is a superstar on the field, but take a look at some gifs that make him seem like that uncool dad.
Mother’s Day was this past weekend, which means that in a little over a month, father’s will get the chance to celebrate in style… I mean in quarantine.
Kidding!
This time of year is always quiet on the NFL-news front, but it’s even more so this offseason after the coronavirus pandemic shut down NFL facilities and put sports around the world on hold. The NFL released its full 17-week schedule last week with the hope that the season will start on time, but it’s too soon to tell whether that vision is realistic or more of a pipe dream.
So, while we wait to see what the future holds for the league and the 2020 season, let’s get a jump on the Father’s Day celebration, shall we? Here’s a look at some hilarious gifs of Bucs QB Tom Brady, which make him seem like that awkward dad.
And, why not a few of Brady at home?
In reality, Brady seems like pretty loving father, often posting pictures of his kids and family on Instagram. Still, you know when his kids see these gifs someday they’ll just roll their eyes at dad.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have another star receiver in Chris Godwin, who could be in line for a big payday soon.
Chris Godwin’s breakout season in 2019 for the Buccaneers helped the third-year receiver earn a Pro Bowl selection and Second-Team All-Pro honors, establishing himself as a certified star alongside fellow Bucs teammate Mike Evans.
Now that Tom Brady is Godwin’s quarterback, and wearing Godwin’s old number, even bigger things are expected in 2020 from the former Penn State star, who finished last season with 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns, career highs across the board.
Another big year could be just what Godwin needs, too, heading into the 2021 offseason, when he will be a free agent. Anthony Holzman-Escareno over at NFL.com believes Godwin is the next receiver in line for a big payday — somewhere in the $19 million/year range — which is why he named Godwin to his All-Paid Team of Tomorrow.
Per Holzman-Escareno:
“Do I buy Godwin topping [Julio] Jones’ $22 million per season? Nah, I don’t. However, he is in line to receive the next large wide receiver extension. Godwin has enjoyed the luxury of playing across from Mike Evans his entire career, and he still has to show he can duplicate his 2019 success. If he continues his trend toward the top of the wide receiver power rankings, his paycheck will soon parallel his rise at the position.”
A nice payday would help Godwin fund his new hobby, but before he cashes in, he’ll have to prove last season’s success wasn’t a fluke.
While Tom Brady dispelled the notion that there was a rift between him and Josh McDaniels, history shows he’s had confrontations with OCs.
Bucs QB Tom Brady took to Instagram yesterday to dispel the notion that a rift between him and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels played a role in his departure from New England.
While the six-time Super Bowl champion’s post should be taken as the final word in the matter, it’s hard to ignore video evidence from the past of Brady yelling at his offensive coordinators.
McDaniels was the recipient of one Brady tirade back in 2017 against the Bills, which you can see below. The argument came after Brady missed a wide open receiver down the field and caught the ire of McDaniels for missing out on a big play.
I like that Brady took his helmet off mid-meltdown so it'd be easier to read his lips pic.twitter.com/7arJywPoml
Then, there’s Brady’s infamous altercation with former Patriots OC and current Texans head coach Bill O’Brien. O’Brien, it seems, wasn’t having any of Brady’s attitude that day, giving it right back to the Golden Boy, and then some.
So, will Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich find himself in a similar situation this season with Brady? It’s a new offense for Brady, and the coronavirus pandemic has made training at team facilities impossible, so there may be some bumps in the road early on in the season as Brady finds his rhythm. Still, I find it highly unlikely he’ll get into a shouting match with Leftwich the way he did with McDaniels and O’Brien, especially since I think Bruce Arians would put an end to it fast.
But remember, there’s already been some miscommunication between Brady and Leftwich. Hopefully, that doesn’t spill over onto the field.
