The Buccaneers had a prolific offense in 2019, even with a quarterback who threw 30 interceptions. Now with Brady and Gronkowski on the roster, they have a chance to do something no NFL team has ever done.
For anyone familiar with Brady's time in New England, he always had a good defense to rely on when he wasn't on the field.
On Tuesday, the Buccaneers acquired former New England tight end Rob Gronkowski in a trade, reuniting him with Brady. Gronkowski retired after the 2018 season and spent the last year partly on the WWE circuit and another as a Fox Sports football studio analyst. Gronkowski caught 521 passes for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns during his nine seasons with Brady and the Patriots.
The schedule works out favorably for the Buccaneers, which have a tough slate of opposing quarterbacks—Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Matt Ryan, Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff—who all travel to play at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers will have to travel to New Orleans, Carolina and Atlanta for divisional games, but two of them are in domes and the Carolina game should be in a favorable climate.
