The names are oh so familiar. Will they translate to success for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Another star, running back LeSean McCoy, joins newcomers Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski on the Bucs’ roster for 2020.
The Bucs signed the former Philadelphia Eagle, Buffalo Bill and Kansas City Chief to a one-year contract Thursday.
Veteran RB LeSean McCoy reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per @rosenhaussports. “He’s very excited to play with established vets like Brady and Gronk in trying to win another championship,” Rosenhaus said.

McCoy, 32, rushed for a career-low 465 yards with Kansas City in 2019. He actually was a healthy scratch at the end of the season and in the postseason.
Overall, the former Pitt star has rushed for 11,071 yards and 73 touchdowns.
His best season was 2013 when he led the NFL in rushing with 1,607 yards for the Eagles.
Ronald Jones Jr. is expected to be the Bucs’ feature back, but McCoy should see a healthy amount of work. Jones was the leading rusher last season with 724 yards. The departed Peyton Barber and Jameis Winston were the only other Bucs to crack the century mark rushing.
Buccaneers’ RBs now include:
🏈LeSean McCoy
🏈Ronald Jones II
🏈Dare Ogunbowale
🏈Ke’Shawn Vaughn
🏈TJ Logan
