JP Peterson Says Multiple Sources Tell Him Tom Brady Will Be Officially Announced No Later Than Tomorrow As Bucs Quarterback
March 17th, 2020
UPDATED: 3:21 p.m. – Peterson updated his audience to say he got a text from a trustworthy source advising him a deal is being finalized but is not complete.
UPDATED: 3:38 p.m. – Peterson further clarifies and tells his audience Brady has chosen the Bucs and has instructed his agent to finish off a contract.
Longtime radio and TV voice in the Tampa Bay area JP Peterson just hit the 820 AM airwaves and proclaimed no later than tomorrow the Bucs will announce they have signed Tom Brady to be their next starting quarterback.
Peterson said he heard this from multiple “well-placed” sources. Peterson is a long-time friend of Rondé Barber, who recently was on his radio show.
“They told Tom Brady he would have a lot of control, not yes and no over the roster as some have said, but he will have a lot of input,” Peterson said of the Bucs’ offer to Brady.
Exciting times, Bucs fans. Incredible times.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:11 pm
Accountability starts tomorrow.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:12 pm
Sigh… It was nice being a Bucs fan while it lasted. I hope BA sets the record for working with the oldest QB in NFL history. Brady isnt gong to last 3 games behind that line
March 17th, 2020 at 3:12 pm
Believe it when I see it.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:12 pm
In lieu of all the bad news with the Corona Virus!!! I hope this isn’t fake news!!! TB in new Bucs Uni’s!!! Man wouldn’t that be grand??
March 17th, 2020 at 3:12 pm
What about Jameis? The savior…lol.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:13 pm
2 extra prime time games and national exposure. why not?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:13 pm
Is JP Peterson reliable enough to start to get excited now? Is this a done deal or what?!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:14 pm
So we’ll be in rebuild mode in about 3 years
March 17th, 2020 at 3:15 pm
Sources say… lmao c’mon man you all and your “source’s”.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:16 pm
So, JayMiss is a backup?
How far the mighty have fallen.
Peace, out
March 17th, 2020 at 3:16 pm
Holy mother of god
March 17th, 2020 at 3:16 pm
Wow…
March 17th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Chip Kelly was signed, sealed and about to be delivered on the Glazers personal jet…
March 17th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Ill believe it when I see it.
Still doesn’t make sense to me.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Wasn’t the point now the stadium will be full LOL so now let’s see what the excuse be next year why people not going to the games!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Sign Winston, sign Winston!!! Long term contract hurry before everyone beats down the door for him!!!!….. Just goes to show (AGAIN) how little you know about football!! I think you kept fighting it for pride because you had his back and didn’t want to turn! Didn’t want to admit you were wrong…..”this Brady stuff is nonsense sign Winston right away”…. Who lost you single handedly more than he won!! Well Joe, it’s a good thing you’re not a coach or in charge in ANY WAY!! …. If you play scared and don’t gamble you’ll never be good!! Can’t not get rid of a bad player (and Winston is most certainly a bad player! Every real coach in the league see it why can’t you) because you are scared of the next player!!! Life is a gamble man you have to take your chances when you can!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Fool us once…shame on you…fool us multiple times…it’s a Buc’s life. Plenty of time for this to unwind/another team to jump in before tomorrow. Like the show BA starred in during his final season in AZ…it’s truly “All Or Nothing” at this point. Winston will surface at N.E. or Chicago would be my guess.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:19 pm
Watch the Pat Mcafee YouTube clip, Tb12 is coming to kick some butt with Arians! Great stories from that clip, must see tv! I’m telling you this will change our franchise forever! Brady is coming to be only team to win the super bowl in their home field. We been thirsty for leadership for 10years and now we’ll have one of the best in the history. OJ Howard the manimal awakens, floods of free agents come knocking down our doors to sign. Remember this moment!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:19 pm
Gonna get killed behind that line. Smith might have to wake up in the first and fourth quarters now.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:20 pm
denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance
The stages of seeing a loved one depart town….but don’t despair…they can never take eating W’s away from us.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:20 pm
Sorryjackchuckiesback- Ahh the first ‘I told you so Doosh Bag’.
Bruh he isn’t even signed yet and you’re up on your soap box. Calm down Karen.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:21 pm
@dewey to be humiliated. Lmao!!!
And what if the seasons cancelled? Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
The bucs may have just made the biggest blunder in free agent HISTORY!!! FORGET HAYNESWORTH AND NNAMDI. COMBINE THEM!!!
Careful what you wish for, HATERS.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:21 pm
Umm…I know right. Unless you’re source is Jason Licht you know jack sh!t like the rest of us.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:21 pm
Will he keep #12 or will Godwin keep it?? hehehehe
March 17th, 2020 at 3:22 pm
And the learning the offense stuff is nonsense. Brady has forgotten more about offensive football than Arians will ever know. Forget about the OC, whoever he is.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:23 pm
This is amazing. Draft o line and running back
March 17th, 2020 at 3:23 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Woe is me…………
What a ton of cow fertilizer.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:23 pm
TEs are back in play
March 17th, 2020 at 3:24 pm
Brady lessens our chance to beat other teams but he also lessens our chance to beat ourselves…..
Jameis increases our chance to beat other teams but he also increases our chances to beat ourselves…
I have a feeling if Brady is the QB, it will be a different brand of football than your typical BA offense. Look for lots of running and passes to the backs.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:24 pm
Won’t believe it until he is standing on the Buc podium with BA and JL.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:24 pm
Brady lasts 5 games max. Not sure what I’d like to see more brady carted off during a game or ba carted off bagged and tagged. This will set franchise back a decade or more. Short term desperate moves never work out
March 17th, 2020 at 3:25 pm
The people above that think this isnt reAl
😂
Yah. Life sucks. We are getting the GOAT
They cant announce cause still not official until tomorrow
Go root for some other team
March 17th, 2020 at 3:26 pm
Sucks. It’s a bucs life.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:26 pm
Looks like it’s not just athletes making career moves today.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:26 pm
Not how it works, Jack. Tom isnt the offensive coordinator. Bruce wont implement the pats offense, goof troop. Dear lord. You guys ARE clueless, huh? This is going to be a NIGHTMARE for the bucs. Bruce is done and Tom may NEVER play a snap. Ota’s delayed inevitably. The bucs season is OVER!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:26 pm
More Hope, Please Brady sign up It will be good..
March 17th, 2020 at 3:27 pm
America’s will be playing in Tampa after all?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:27 pm

If it happen, please no JW back up here….. that guy should go , leave this team , and city alone…. wish him the BEST elsewhere ..
BA = LovieS 2.0
March 17th, 2020 at 3:27 pm
Guess I’ll need to get me a new Chris Godwin jersey!?!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:28 pm
Can you see Leftfoot trying to coach Brady?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:28 pm
Go noles !
Whoops wrong team
What a Pathetic group
You know who you are above
Cause the past 5 years were awesome with #3
Who cares about short term
They have sucked for a long term 15 years
And what players may want to come here to play with the GOAt in a state with no income tax / great weather / offense weapons and rising defense
😂
March 17th, 2020 at 3:28 pm
I just want it to be official, we were damn sure about Favre and Parcells. They pushed their chips to center of table. Absolutely no recourse with all the other options gone, and no I don’t think you can walk this back with Jameis. It’s Tom Brady or Blaine Gabbert…
March 17th, 2020 at 3:28 pm
Rent the uhaul, plan the parade, superbowl champs………
March 17th, 2020 at 3:29 pm
We went from America’s QB to Captain America
March 17th, 2020 at 3:29 pm
Ahhh…. an update, “a deal is being finalized but is not complete.”… the classic cop out excuse…
My sources were solid, but it fell through at the very last second, no one saw it coming, blah blah blah.
Again, I’ll believe it when I see him land in Tampa and put on an ugly Bucs jersey. BTW, the Bucs are changing uniforms – uh, now would be the time to roll them out if Brady is coming to town.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:29 pm
I’ll believe it when I see it
JP isn’t the most accurate quoting sources
March 17th, 2020 at 3:29 pm
Does anyone remember when the Bucs traded for Favre? I hope this is not like that.
JW3 is volunteering to come back to the Bucs as a back up to be an apprentice under the GOAT.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:30 pm
Yeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssss!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:30 pm
TOM BRADY IS COMING TO TAMPA!!!! yeahHHHHHHH!!!!! WHHOOOOHOOOO!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:31 pm
From the penthouse to the goat pasture
March 17th, 2020 at 3:31 pm
Tval,
The offense is fundamentally the same. Relax
March 17th, 2020 at 3:33 pm
So I get moderated and Taxicon wishes for Bucs players and coaches to be carted off…and nothing…Joe sits and smiles? What is wrong with this picture?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:33 pm
Somebody’s going to cry one way or the other.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:34 pm
Waiting to see it. Hopeful and that means a new QB in the draft too! 🙂
March 17th, 2020 at 3:34 pm
The entire team will play better with Brady at the helm.
The fans will come out to see games.
TV ratings will be up
The sports media will pay more attention to the Bucs than ever
Bucs will get prime time games
Merchandise sales will increase
Endorsements will come
Joe Buc Fan will spike
Bucs will finally make the playoffs and have a shot at playing a home SB.
Downside…….due to 43…..it will be temporary and it will be very expensive.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:34 pm
Yeeeessssss!! quite frankly amyone not happy about this isnt a bucs fan at ALL!! LET’S GOOOOOOO. WE JUST GOT THE @%#&$,$&#& GOAT!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:34 pm
If you don’t like it to bad for you….tb12 in tampa lets gooooo…cry me a river and for you wanna be know it alls yeah you bums saying this sets us back…every year theirs always qbs in the market and to draft…if winston smart he will stay and back up brady and learn from the 🐐.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:35 pm
Get Tua to sit behind him. Try and get Trent Williams from D.C.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:35 pm
Wow man. JP is legit. This is going down.
The Bucs knew it all along too. Or at least we’re highly confident. It also means they never wanted Winston back most likely.
You see this is what happens with a HC like Bruce. Great players see whats up.
And no y’all. Y’all are wrong. This is not a short term move. Bruce has done great work developing rookie QBs. That will be the long-term plan.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:36 pm
hahahahha @joe this is AMERCAS REAL QB!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:36 pm
i cant handle this anymore. this better be true. how will i sleep tonight?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:36 pm
crazyBuc- it doesn’t make sense….He isn’t mobile, we don’t have a great oline, its a downfield passing attack and his arm isn’t what it used to be, he is a California kid, he just opened a Hollywood business, he is an uber celebrity, and because we are the Bucs. You are going from the winningest team in modern history to the most losing active franchise in all of sports!! Talk about a challenge!!
Just saying there is a whole lot more that doesn’t make sense for Tom to Tampa than things that would tie him here or fit.
If he comes here, I am freaking pumped for sure, but I don’t think Brady is going to have an MVP year or anything like that, I believe those days are behind him.
Also agree, if ANY other QB is signed to be the starter, you have to let JW go.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:37 pm
If Brady does not sign him, that will be a huge laughable embarrassment. I for one will be laughing.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:39 pm
@ Steve Garrison
See ya!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:39 pm
need the jersey’s to come out so I can get a brady jeresey
March 17th, 2020 at 3:39 pm
AAAAAAAAAAAA
What times these are
Also Eagles release Jenkins. GO GET HIM FORREST GUMP
RUN FORREST RUNNNNNN.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:39 pm
not much of a fan mirror mirror
March 17th, 2020 at 3:40 pm
Now sign Jameis to learn… no joke!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:40 pm
Time for the owners to sell. I’m done.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:40 pm
While we wait can we have a countdown of all the great times the Bucs have been left at the altar?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:40 pm
Jack Burton Mercer Says
“And the learning the offense stuff is nonsense. Brady has forgotten more about offensive football than Arians will ever know.”
Except that the rest of the offense doesn’t. He’ll have to learn the terminology to communicate plays. If he comes to Tampa.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:41 pm
The TV says it’s between Tampa Bay and the Chargers.
Enough said for me.
The Chargers are downright awful. At almost everything.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:42 pm
The Chargers were 5-11 last year. They play in the same division as the Chiefs. And yet the moron BS artist talking heads say they are closer to winning than the Bucs, who were a field goal kicker away from 9-7, and fielded a top ten overall defense. I have no idea where he’s going, and neither do they, but if you’re going to speculate at least be intelligent and informed about it. Sheesh.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:42 pm
Yeah…Matt…that McAfee YouTube clip was must see tv and legit.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:42 pm
mark2001
Best thing for team is get rid of both the senile head coach and the washed up noodle arm former goat…. now back to your safe space
March 17th, 2020 at 3:42 pm
Better bulk up Tom, your going to get hit, a lot.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:43 pm
Lets see, trying to think of a list of 5 left at the altar moments… Feel free to one up this list, this is all I can think off at the moment off the top of my head…
5. Chip Kelly
4. Brett Favre
3. Bill Parcells (1990)
2. Bill Parcells (2002)
and NO 1….
March 17th, 2020 at 3:43 pm
I hope we can keep Jameis as a backup to Brady if true. That would be best case scenario
March 17th, 2020 at 3:43 pm
Sign Winston to a deal to backup Brady learn for 2 years and we have QB of future already on the roster. Brady 30m a year and Jameis 10m a year still leaves 26m cut Brate and that leaves 32m you can still sign Suh and a safety maybe even a vet tackle make it happen!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:44 pm
Imagine Brady talking Bucs into signing Antonio Brown-
Evans, Brown, Godwin, Howard, ROJO , draft Taylor , another OLineman
-what QB wouldn’t want that to work with and we’re talking BRADY.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:44 pm
The Chargers play in LA in a new 2+ billion dollar stadium. Tom Brady can go right into media when his career is over.
In Tampa we have some leftover props from Wrestlemania that won’t be needed.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:44 pm
Theres a lot of hate for brady and assumptions about will and wont be done in this offense and how.
I find it kind of ignorant to call someone a hater for criticizing a turnover prone quarterback then turn around and talk about how the the best to do it will suck in tampa like your guess work is some kind of fact based knowledge. Damn so annoying weeding out all the damn ignorant fans that post here like winston is better than brady. Hope you follow winston wherever the hell he goes, you can fight with another fanbase that sees him constantly giving the ball to the other team
March 17th, 2020 at 3:44 pm
TBbro- Malcolm Jenkins would be awesome here!
With Brady leading the O and Jenkins/JPP leading the D, we might actually have a team with its head screwed on right.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:45 pm
76…….I also heard them say we have a really bad defense. Didn’t even mention Bowles had them boys dominating down the stretch.
That’s cause they probably never saw the Bucs even once last year.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:45 pm
If Jameis becomes a backup, he will be the greatest back up QB of all time and eventually find another starting role.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:46 pm
JayMiss ain’t staying if Brady is signed!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:46 pm
Man, this smells like Bill Parcels all over again
March 17th, 2020 at 3:46 pm
Jameis might have to sign to be a backup but he dang sure aint gonna do it here. I mean the dude was driving the car and you think you can just say gtfo and get in the back seat?
If we are moving to another QB, let that man go do his thing somewhere else. If i’m JW, no way i’d be a backup here.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:47 pm
Didn’t JP say Stoops was gonna coach FSU?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:48 pm
Janna Laine just posted a new Tweet saying Licht has said he’s heard nothing, as far as he knows no decision has been made.
People need to read some Bucs history and realize how these things go… Could it happen? Maybe. Is there a bigger chance the whole thing falls apart? History would say yes.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:48 pm
If this deal is finalize then:
-Resurrections to JL
– BA LovieS 2.0
– Old man (Glazer), will be proud of his sons
– and a lot of happy Bucs Fans for 2020
.. but for now still…
BA = LovieS 2.0
March 17th, 2020 at 3:48 pm
Never thought I would root for Shady Brady. But then again, I never thought Orange Twitler would be POTUS.
Let’s go BUCS!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
I don’t know if he is coming…but I do believe it’s a good thing if he does.
• Those saying he won’t last health-wise behind the offensive line would be mistaken. If Brady is signed, a priority would be placed on improving it. Really, it only needs a good right tackle.
• Tom Brady will raise the level of those around him.
• Tom Brady only needs to last two years. We can draft an heir.
• National media talks about Evans, Godwin and OJ…but Brate would benefit more than OJ, as his hands are more reliable in Brady’s throwing range.
If this happens, I’ll support him 100%. I just won’t believe it until the deal is signed.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
Can’t believe so many are hating on the fact that the GOAT (who just went to the playoffs, may sign with the team.
If true, best part about this is that if it doesn’t work out, the team is only out money for two years. No lost picks ala the Jon Gruden trade.
Glad that I’ve held onto my season tickets. Stadium is about to be slam packed if TB comes to TB. The whole Sunday economy in the Dale Mabry area is jumping for joy if this becomes finalized.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
I thought it was mistake to let Jamies go unless the unthinkable occurred and the Bucs signed Tom Brady…..well it looks like the Bucs got the GOAT.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:49 pm
JimmyJack
Mike Smiths 2016 defensive stretch was way more impressive than what the Bucs did this year.
Mike Smith dominanted against Russell Wilson and Drew Brees.
Todd Bowels dominated against David Blough and Gardner Minshew
It’s still a huge question mark it this pass defense will be good enough in 2020.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:50 pm
@ Pewter power, Totally agree, and I will say Tired of JW on and off field
March 17th, 2020 at 3:51 pm
I am still sad that Winston is gone.
One of the biggest dissapointments to put on a Bucs uniform. But I always did love his passion and do appreciate that much.
But let’s face it. All expectations failed. Could never hit his potential.
Freaking Tom Brady now!!!!! Playoff wins are the new expectation. If you don’t love that you’re touched in the head.
GOOOO BUCS!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:51 pm
Just watching NFL network, what a joke…It’s absolutely sickening how our Bucs get zero respect. All this talk of the Chargers….Are you kidding me? The Chargers wish they had half the talent on offense that we possess. Folks, our offense put up over 5000 yards and over 30 touchdowns, with ZERO run game and QB who threw 30 pics. And somebody is going to tell me the Charges are more of a fit, have better talent, are more Super Bowl ready. They won 5 games, count em FIVE. It’s absolutely ridiculous, with Howard, Brate, ME13 and Godwin we have the MOST talent laden roster in the NFL. Yet, all this talk of the Chargers. Stuff like this makes me feel bad for all our Superstars who get overlooked due to playing for a small market franchise. I hope they are listening…it’s why Brady IS the perfect fit. Teach these boys how to play with a chip on their shoulder and win some games. Tampa 2020. Come on guys let’s show these clowns.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:52 pm
People are way to excited. Why would the GM talk to the media at all to say as far as he knows no decision has been made, if there has been a decision? The GM would just make themselves disappear or not answer the question.
This is like when PFT reported, for a fact, that Lovie had hired Rod Marinelli as his DC… then a few hours later we learn it was 100% made up fake news.
Nothing is done, until it’s done. If you’re a Bucs fan, you should already know this.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:52 pm
This is great news for a fan base that has forgotten what winning feels like. Tom Brady is the master. He can utilize every weapon on the field. He can see the field. He brings 6 rings, the most, bar none. He’s a fantastic guy too. We are very fortunate and so are his new teammates, which all need to start working right now if they’re going to run with the Big Dog Brady. This is so freaking cool. I’m stoked.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:52 pm
To those who say the line sucks and Brady will be killed, perhaps having Brady will make the line play better. Many observers have said Donovan Smith takes some plays off, he won’t be able to do that with Brady because Tom is going to get respect from these players. When he strolls into One Buc Place with all of those Super Bowl rings, the Buccaneer team will get a jolt. Players have pride and if they know that protecting Brady could get them to a Super Bowl in their home town, you will certainly see more effort. The Bucs will certainly want to protect their investment which means for sure they will want more protection for him.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:53 pm
Jimmyjack- What is Playoffs?
Watch we will be the 7th seed and all hail Brady, hahaha.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:53 pm
should get someone besides JW to back up brady, Groom a man not a chump

Like Peyton to Denver? I still need to see it to believe it though.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:53 pm
It’s going to be interesting, maybe the Panthers are going to sign Winston?…
March 17th, 2020 at 3:54 pm
Tbbucs3……..And Mike Smiths team got used and abused by Zeke Elliot when it mattered.
And don’t talk about David Blough and conviently leave out Matt Ryan twice and Watson. Tell the whole story or don’t tell at all.
If you wanna compare the two defenses it will start and end with how this one responds in a meaningful game. We already know how Mike Smiths defense stacks up.
Not to mention this defense will build off of that and perform this year. Not get roasted to shreds like the 2017 defense.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:55 pm

Philip Rivers is off the market. Glazers are clinching their butts.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:56 pm
Jimmy…this organization spent a ton of time and resources to help Jameis become successful. They overlooked suspensions and such and still spent more money to hire one of the most respected QB coaches in the business.
It hasn’t worked out the way any of us want.
No matter where Jameis goes, I wish him well. And those posting on his behalf that hopefully will get on board and support the Bucs wholeheartedly.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:57 pm
How could Indy pick Philip Rivers over Jameis?
Didn’t they listen to NDOG?
March 17th, 2020 at 3:57 pm
Mike Smiths defense had a four game stretch and then promptly imoded ending our playoff hopes.
Bowles defense had a four game stretch then dominated in the last 2 games vs Watson and Ryan.
They didn’t regress back to their old pathetic self like Smiths defense.
You don’t know what your talking about. You musta forgot.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:57 pm
If Brady does sign here, which is not for certain at all, then Winston ends up…
Either in New England…
or Las Vegas
You’re going to tell me that Gruden isn’t going to try to get the guy who just turned 26 who has Brett Favre like numbers and just lead the league in passing and was 3rd in TD?
Gruden collects QBs – and Winston would be, by far, his greatest QB yet.
OR…
Winston goes to New England, where he leads the the Patriots to a SB here in Tampa next year, and joins the list of rejected Bucs (Steve Young, Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams… hell even Chris Chandler) that takes another team to the SB.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:58 pm
What the hadees are the Chargers gonna do then?!? No one left, trade for the red rifle?!
March 17th, 2020 at 3:58 pm
All you people saying he is coming to win are forgetting the thing that the Tampa bay Buccaneers never have been able to do is win consistently. This will go down as the worst decision in franchise history right next to bo jackson and bad character lovie Smith.
March 17th, 2020 at 3:58 pm
History of who decided to sign with us and who didnt is irrelevant. Why the hell would the best ever consider us as an option if say raheem Morris or greg schiano was the coach. BA has credibility and parcels was smart enough to know the cap would be an issue so didnt want to come
go buy more toilet paper you f-ing fans are so damn weakminded
March 17th, 2020 at 3:59 pm
Chucky now wishes he was still here…
March 17th, 2020 at 3:59 pm
Come on guys time to get on board. If hes our QB its time to go all in and support Brady and our TEAM. But lets also all be very clear and understand it is Super Bowl or bust from here on out and we will deal with the future in the future. If this is true my new favorite QB is Tom Brady
March 17th, 2020 at 3:59 pm
BTW, nothing on Brady from the big national reporters, the ones that should be all over this… just some local radio guy with the “confirmation”…
Know your Bucs history… know what to expect…
March 17th, 2020 at 4:00 pm
Did Peterson hear it from Tom???
Until then, I’m hoping he chooses the LAC & saves the Glazers from another Licht grasping at straws FA signing flop….Your not buying TB12 at 37…Your buying age 43 season & beyond.
If true…It’s smells of desperation. It smells like a sales marketing scheme – not a winning football move…. Smells like deal all parties will ultimately live to regret, in the end.
Here’s why:
1) Belicheat would never allow him to walk away, if he was his best chance to win a SB in 2020. Period. (Belicheat knows his tape better than ANYONE!)
2) TEN was his best FIT in FA…From HC relationship to play style to personnel to team being a SB contender….TEN still went Tannehill & w/ crazy coin after 1/2 season of play – vs – signing TB12 at basically same rate/less yrs – w/ all his history of success.
3) LAC can offer TB12 =/better opportunities/weather/marketing & money to Tampa…Plus access to his new production company….& better draft slots to fill perceived OL/WR defiencies.
So, If TB12 chooses Tampa, it’s because the Galzrs/FO over-paid…& in consideration of points 1-3 above…It should make you cringe knowing TB fans about to pay for TB12 retirement tour.

March 17th, 2020 at 4:01 pm
Rod Much? That makes no sense!!! How the heck are we supposed to be dissapointment and get our hearts broken if we don’t get excited today?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:01 pm
I know right…I just had to argue with a grocery store manager just to buy bottled water!!?? What is going on!?! I won though. Got 3 giant packs. Solid.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:01 pm
Finally a real QB LFG Bucs nation!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:01 pm
Let’s see: Parcells (twice) Favre, Chip Kelly- anybody else who was packing up their truck to come to the Bucs and never made it?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:01 pm
How can anyone be mad at the greatest QB of all time coming here lol. Maybe a future front office position as well.
He had no one on offense last year and still put up 4k yards / 24 TD / 8 Int…
LETS GO
Draft OT R1 (move up if needed)
Draft Jacob Eason QB R2
Draft a RB R3
go interior OL R4
Offense would be set/stacked. Sign some CB depth. Draft front 7 depth rounds 4-7.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:02 pm
@ Rod Munch That joke was funny the first few times but it is getting pretty sad now, might as well say nothing at this point..
March 17th, 2020 at 4:02 pm
Brady to Evans…
Brady to Godwin…
Brady to Howard…
Brady’s going to have fun!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:03 pm
Ha ha ha. The coward is gone. Told you fools. Not sure how the FSU homers are going to handle it. But wait, I do know how they would handle it…they will simply say they went to the University of Michigan.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:03 pm
No rebuild. Daft a QB in the second or third round and groom him behind Brady.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:04 pm
CBS Sports………..
“I talked to Tampa Bay. They would love to have Tom Brady,” Russini said. “They are willing to give Tom Brady the things he needs, he wants.”
The Buccaneers make a lot of sense for a lot of reasons, and if you’re wondering why, you can click here to find out. If you don’t feel like clicking, here’s a brief summary: They have a lot of offensive weapons, they have a lot of salary cap room to add any piece Brady needs and they have a 67-year-old coach who wants to win now. The next Super Bowl is also being played in Tampa, which would give Brady a chance to do something that no other player has ever done: Play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. “
March 17th, 2020 at 4:05 pm
LOL! The dopes that think history doesn’t matter – they’re the suckers that fall for the same thing over and over and over again.
Look, if Brady is coming – then fantastic news. I’m a huge Winston backer, but Brady is the best of all time and makes the team a legit playoff contender immediately.
Of course I also think Winston would take this team to 11-5 next year, this last year with decent kicking we’re 9-7, and without the refs robbing us in Tennessee we’re 10-6.
But again, Brady, best QB of all time, a huge injection of energy and excitement, the team gets national games, Brady will draw others here as well. He should be OK for 2 years – but they should be 2 good years.
BUT if you know your Bucs history, you know when people get excited, that’s ALWAYS when the rug is pulled out from under us. Except once, with Gruden, when the team had no competition it was going against and still gave away two 1sts, two 2nds and a 3rd.
I will wait until I see him at the podium, or however they do it now. Until then, I’ll use this thing called my brain to remember all the times the Bucs have had the carpet pulled out from under them.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:05 pm
JJ
Mike Smith still sucks but there’s no doubt he was moreimpressive in his 5 game stretch than Bowels was.
Look at the #s. The Bucs in 2016 were a flat out better defense than the Bucs in 2019 in every single area except run defense.
5 Points against the Seahawks!
21 Against Chargers
11 Against the Saints
17 Against the 49ers
10 Against Bears
16 Against Panthers
I would not get my hopes up about this defense in 2020 like we did in 2016.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:05 pm
Buc1987: you are also a coward. How can you turn in your butt buddy JW so quickly. I know, because you my friend are a loser.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
Can’t we just wait until tomorrow for all the hate on this site for one day? Damn it’s depressing to read some of these comments! The lack of knowledge and thought here could fill a book, eh Joe!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
I’m excited for the Goat to come to Tampa if that happens but I hope they have an agreement in place that he’ll be ok mentoring an understudy so we arent totally screwed after he retires. No Garopollo situations here please.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
Winston babies still crying.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:07 pm
WOW JUST WOW!!! So watching the NFL net and Legarette Blount getting interviewed…he said he loved Jameis and was sorry his season didn’t turn out the way he wanted…he thinks JW has talent…but he PLAYED with Brady and said there was NO question Brady would instantly make the Bucs better.
BTW also on the NFL net…stats from Next Gen…last year…the old man had the 7th best QB rating on DEEP BALLS of anyone in the league. So much for his fading arm or inability to play in BA’s offense. The major difference between Brady and JW is he’ll know WHEN to take those deep shots and when to settle for moving the chains.
And they’re playing video of Brady and I’m watching how an out is supposed to be thrown..what a tight spiral looks like…what hitting your receiver in stride for YAC looks like and the fact that Brady’s targets last year had horrid years…showing pass after pass bouncing off receiver’s hands.
Bottom line…Brady at 70% of his ability is better than JW at 90% of his.
“Blameless” has a five year record of CHOKING on and off the field. Brady is the direct opposite.
Brady gives us instant credibility…won’t it be interesting to learn later in the year if Shaq and JPP considered this in their signings.
And wait for it…the major improvement Brady brings to the Bucs is LEADERSHIP!
JPP…SUH if we resign him…Devin White…our D has plenty of terrific leadership.
Who is the offensive leader? Marpet and ME13 show certain skills but they are quiet…not get in your face kind of guys. The QB…a humiliating clown screaming about eating W’s…chasing after officials…bug eyed and out of control. I think the PC way it was expressed is that JW is “excitable” AKA choker.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:07 pm
Belicheat and Kraft wanted him to stay. Brady wanted to go. Check the facts
March 17th, 2020 at 4:08 pm
YES SIR!!!!!!
STAY IN YOUR CAGE NDOG!!!!!!!!!….LOL…
GO BUCS!!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:08 pm
If the GOAT does sign here, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Peyton Manning calls to give him grief about how he is the only QB in NFL history to win two Super Bowls with different teams. “Yeah, but I’ll be the first to win six in the AFC and one in the NFC!” 😂
March 17th, 2020 at 4:08 pm
Oh BTW……The Bucs no longer have the 4th best QB in the division.
Worst to first baby!!!
Hope y’all ready for Sunday Night Football. Bress vs Brady.
Yep and them schedule makers won’t be working us over this year.
And watch the refs quit giving us crap calls too.
Insta reapectability
March 17th, 2020 at 4:08 pm
Wow stpetebucsfan – what a hot take… the best QB of all time is better than the 26 year old. Amazing stuff bro, thanks for sharing, amazing insight indeed.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:09 pm
Sharthappens…I gave up on Winston months ago IDIOT!
And this is Tom Brady….did I mention you’re an idiot?
Ndog’s already supporting the move….
I might of forgot…you’re an idiot!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:09 pm
I’m happy but man i am trying to control my excitement because if this don’t happen I would be disappointed
March 17th, 2020 at 4:09 pm
so i guess JW will sign with the PATS tomorrow…and get cut during OTAs….lol…
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
JimmyJack – Nothing has happened yet except some hack local radio guy claims to have amazing inside knowledge that no one else in the country has…
Cool your jets.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
If true, then another losing season is on the way. Brady can’t throw deep anymore. At least Cameron and O.J. will be used a lot. I guess Mike won’t get another 1,000 yd season. Oh well. At least we can say we had a washed up GOAT.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:10 pm
Jenna Laine says the Bucs are down to Brady, or Winston…
Nothing is done.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
I need to see this from Adam Schefter or Ian Rapoport then I will believe it. This doesn’t seem like a reliable source.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
Tbbucs3 I’m not interested in arguing five game stretches. We’ll just disagree.
Bowles actually transformed this defense. Smith didn’t.
I care about a real defense. Which means sustainability. Those four games from Mike was fake and proven to be.
Mike Smith ackomplished nothing here. He wasn’t better then anybody at anything………Not unless you wanna bring Romeo Carnell and Rich Kotite into the discussion.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:13 pm
Bucsdelight – Brady still looked like he can throw the ball deep from what I saw last season. His biggest issue was his WRs were God awful.
But I also watched, I think a Thursday night game, where he threw like 12 would be INTs, except they kept getting dropped. Would be INTs is a big stat in the anti-Winston community so I’m sure they’ll be 100% consistent and still track those should Brady sign.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
Are the patriots going to be free agency winners again ?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
The love affair with this defense continues
2019 Bucs Defense
– 32 to Danny Dimes
– 40 to Seattle
– 40 to Rams
– 35 to Colts
– 31 to Saints
– 34 to Saints
But they played well in the last 2 meaningless games against Bill O Brian and Dirk Koetter (2 coaches on the verge of getting fired) so it’s all hugs and kisses for the defense!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
If this does turn out to be the case, the Bucs are about to become a REAL professional NFL football team
March 17th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
IF true, the Bucs just sold their soul for 30 million pieces of silver. There might be a short-term gain, especially in the Glazers’ pocket-book, but this is far too reminiscent of us paying a king’s ransom for Jon Gruden, then paying the price for years after our one year of glory.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
Munch JP is legit. He got great sources.
Joe knows what’s up. I bet he trusts JP…….Usually when Joe is skeptical about these leaks he does not hold back in sharing his skeptism in the article.
I didn’t see Joe do that on this report.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:15 pm
So this local hack radio guy knows that Tom Brady told his agent to get this deal done… when no one else, none of the big guys in NFL news, has this amazing info? Also none of them are reporting on this local hack radio guy making this claim…
….
Tomorrows radio….
“my information was solid, I know and trust my sources and it was a done deal, it was pulled at the last possible moment”…
….
March 17th, 2020 at 4:16 pm
Rod Munch- he’s lost the zip, he is slow. It was terrible to watch last year. It was a good thing their D carried them a few times. It’s nice to say you got TB on your team, but come on, a 43 yr old version? We ain’t do nothing with that. We might be better than the Panthers, but we are 2nd or 3rd still in our Division. Unless our defense makes leaps and bounds this year.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:16 pm
Rod…the Raiders “collected” Mariota today.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:17 pm
JimmyJack – I hope you’re right, I’m just refusing to get excited about it. Also the above post wasn’t in response to you, I wrote it before seeing your follow-up.
But if he turns out to have sources deep in Brady’s camp so he knows what Brady is telling his agent, then great. But generally if people believe this stuff, it will be parrotted by everyone else, the ESPN and NFL’s of the world. So far, they’re completely silent.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:18 pm
ndog munch and the rest all butt hurt…..
Where is Winston signing???? lol Enjoy your new team…. Have you noticed its been silent on Winston….signs you stink.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:19 pm
Keep hopeing MUNCH, tell us again how JW in a patriots uni will be lifting the trophy in tampa funny stuff or sad depending on how many times you heard it.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:19 pm
Those TB12 jerseys with the new look are going to disappear faster than hand sanitizer and tp!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:20 pm
Two words: Brett Favre
Two More: Bill Parcells
March 17th, 2020 at 4:21 pm
Bucs thought process HAS to be
1. Pilability
2. Americas Quarterback
March 17th, 2020 at 4:21 pm
NDog= Brady Man!!! Holy crap!! At least everyone can get off him for his support of JayMiss!!! Including myself!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:21 pm
Bucsdelight – The Pats had the best defense in the league last year, but on offense it was a cluster. But watching the games I did, at least parts of many games, I saw repeatedly that Brady would drop back and have no one to get the ball to. I did not however watch him closely, but I’ll have to fire up my NFL Gamepass and do that if he actually signs.
One thing is for certain, Evans, Godwin, OJ and even Brate are better than anything he had last year. If he is still accurate, I think that’s enough. BA will need to adjust the offense so it’s not such a deep ball offense, but you don’t sign Brady not knowing that. The Bucs have to get their TEs back involved in the game, that should be a boost.
But one thing is for sure, this brings life into a currently lifeless team that is completely irrelevant. If it happens.
Then again if it happens, Brady will probably get COVID-19 and retire and we’ll have Mike Glennon as our starter next year.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:23 pm
**Alskanassole** … Never said told ya so or anything like that.. only said if you don’t take chances you’ll never be good.. and that Winston sucks!! Which every coach in the league can obviously see too…. Winston lovers are just embarrassed right now that their guy really does suck and NOBODY wants him!! Haven’t even heard him mentioned!!! Even Mariota got picked up!! Wow!! Lmao!!!…. Btw I watched a documentary once that was basically saying all the perverts and criminals move to Alaska thinking they can get away (because they’re stupid) is that true? Which one are you? a criminal or are you a pervert? Or a spawn of one of the 2?? Or do you not live there and just admire those quality of people?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:23 pm
DR
when gruden delivered, was it worth it?….lol….
and we can still draft a QB….who else would you rather have a rookie sit behind?…
it could work out just like the chiefs…..PM sat behind alex smith….look what good it did for him….
GO BUCS!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:24 pm
Tbbucs3……Growing pains were to be expected. This team has played Tampa 2 defense for their entire existence. Really niave to think it wasn’t gonna look ugly at first learning a completely foriegn system.
And Bowles was working with one of the worst defenses in history from 2018. The only way to expect that defense to idmetialy become good is if Jesus was your DC.
Them last six games were meaningful. But it won’t mean nothing if they don’t build off it. I just happen to see no way they still suck. Too many skilled players that play well in this system. Where’s the weakness.
But if you don’t wanna buy in that’s fair. To each his own. Personally I just trust the defense on all levels.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:24 pm
Rod, last night Gruden had a choice, Winston or Mariota. look who he picked and who is still available.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:25 pm
If Jameis is the QB, you might as well turn Raymond James stadium into a bird sanctuary…the silence due to lack of attendance will be deafening…especially considering the economic effects of late on the economy and the stock market.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:25 pm
Part of Bradys requirement was signing right tackle Bryan Bulga the chargers just signed him. Bye Bye Brady
March 17th, 2020 at 4:25 pm
Does this mean the pink pony is going to close ???
March 17th, 2020 at 4:25 pm
The Chargers just now reaching agreement with Bryan Bulaga at tackle and trading for all pro guard Trai Turner last week ….are a bit concerning though! If Chargers are trying to lure an old immobile QB…those would be great moves for the O line.
Yikes..
March 17th, 2020 at 4:27 pm
I’m still having a hard time believing it myself. And I wont until its official.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:28 pm
DR
the other thing to think about is, we already have our next HC on the staff….
we went from gruden to morris….experienced to inexperience….
leftwich or bowles will take over after BA…..
think about it….we draft a QB, BL grooms him for a couple years along with brady and the ball keeps rolling….
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:28 pm
GetOverIt……Good point.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:31 pm
^^^^^ hey jello brains…what do you all think ALL THE OTHER free agent announcements are ….AGREEMENTS IN PRINCIPLE.
Like he could be. Good lord…
March 17th, 2020 at 4:32 pm
From Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian:
Forget the old creamsicle team colors, and how weird the GOAT would look in that vintage Bucs uniform. The odds are telling us Brady is going to choose Loserville over the NFL’s winningest franchise the past two decades. It’s happening.
If true he’d be dumping the NFL penthouse for its outhouse. Does that even compute?
LOL
March 17th, 2020 at 4:33 pm
So many…out here…are just not very bright.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:34 pm
Dewey – Mariota was signed as a backup, for backup money. If the market goes away for Winston and he’s forced to take a lowball deal, if you don’t think Gruden jumps all over that, your “Winston bad” mindset has blinded you to the fact that Winston traded for Jake Plummer after he retired.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:34 pm
This is a lock. Just got word from a close contact in aviation at TIA. Glazer jet is heading North! Brady is then coming South.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:35 pm
@NDOG NaNaaaNAAAA naaaa NANA NAAA NAAAH
heeeey HEEEEEY HEEEE!!!
GOOD! BYEEEEE!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:36 pm
None of the national sources are running with this local radio guys amazing inside knowledge of knowing what Tom Brady told his agent….
Every second that goes by with no one else picking up this story, the less and less likely it is to be true.
Credible longtime play-by-play/media guy in Boston put it out about the same time. –Joe
March 17th, 2020 at 4:37 pm
Maybe the Chargers are trading/signing Can since Anthony Lynn said he wanted to get more mobile, let Tyrod start the year till Cam’s healthy. Would need better O line for that..
March 17th, 2020 at 4:37 pm
Pats play by play guy Dale Arnold has stated Brady will sign with Tampa. Check his Twitter.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:38 pm
813……That’s what I love. That our next coach is already in house. Much needed continuity for our franchise. A true long term plan.
That’s why I can’t believe how blind some folks are calling this a short term plan.
Bruce has a vested interest in the next HC for this team and he has a vested interest in handing him a team ready for success. He knows the most important piece is the next QB. Bruce is going to make it a huge priority to develope a QB for his predecessor. He is not going to ignore that task. It’s a huge deal for him.
I just don’t understand this short term BS narritive. Do these people even realize you can have both a long term plan and a short term plain? Is that concept that hard to grasp?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:38 pm
And Chargers draft Tua
March 17th, 2020 at 4:38 pm
If this is true I am excited. I did want to see Jameis succeed in Tampa and I still like him a lot but he just didn’t get the job done. So if true we gonna have a good defense, new uniforms, T Brady one of the top offensive in the league and I am sure Arians will bring in a young QBS and let him sit behind Brady a year or two which should put this franchise in very good shape for the next 10 years
March 17th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
Rough couple of days for the #WinstonDefenseForce
March 17th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
*Chargers sign Cam
March 17th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
boldnewera – Good point, but remember the Bucs arent done. You have Bryan Bulaga out there, and since Brady will have a huge say – he could also bring in one of his guys like Joe Thuney, although im not sure how much the Bucs would need to give up to trade for a tagged player. Anyway, the point is – if/when Brady comes, the rest of the dominoes will start to fall. Will be interesting to see what they do at slot too. Scotty Miller and Justin Watson is pretty meh
March 17th, 2020 at 4:40 pm
@Jimmyjack,
What coach and what future QB do you have in mind?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:41 pm
I woulda had more respect if NFOG had just kept supporting JAMEIS and been a RIDE OR DIE, literally you revealed how little character you have. Very sad to see you switch up and quickly break up with your love relationship to Winnie-Pooh.
That’s A CLOWN 🤡 post Bro – BHarper.
Literally NDOG…… Kevin Durant thinks you are a traitor!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:42 pm
My biggest worries:
Belichick is no doubt the best ever so how will Brady do without him?
The Pats Oline coach is the best ever how will Brady do without him?
The Pats have a legit great kicker and have for awhile, how will he do with a trash kicker?
He had the pleasure of the playing the Dolphins, Bills and Jets over his career every year none of those teams have Sean Peyton and Drew Brees how does that play out?
He has always struggled playing in the Florida heat will that change all of a sudden?
He is 43 years old and at some point age catches up to all of us, is he different?
Will the players on this roster fit his offense or will he fit our offense?
Will he survive the Donovan Smith experience?
How will he handle a rookie RT?
Again all things I hope are a nonissues but are the things that currently have me worried if this is really true.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:43 pm

Where did I say I dont support Jameis?
I am a season ticket holder of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I love Jameis and am sad to see him go and will watch him from a far but my loyalty has been and always will be with my team. So you can go lie about someone else ElBajito43 and in addition to that you can go f yourself.
Plus why are you people even talking about Jameis as he is gone. Just leave the guy alone he didnt do anything to any of you accept give his best effort, give back to the community and be a great teammate. Just let the guy go and route for your team and quit being a bunch or losers.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:49 pm
The one and only thing that bothers me about this signing is now all you bandwagon jerks will get in my way at Ray Jay………You freaking weren’t there when we needed you and now your gonna show up with a brand new jersey on and a #1 Bucs fan bumper plate.
Just remember you did turn your back on all of us when we needed you. Just like the team you were a major disappointment.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:49 pm
Thattaboy NDog. Way to sack up and say Brady would be your new favorite QB . I’m not sure I believe you , but at least you said it .
March 17th, 2020 at 4:50 pm
So you people are pissed that I supported my QB and called things like I saw them. Trust me I am going to be the same way with Brady or any other QB that might play here. If you people are blaming him for something that is not his fault I will point it out and just like when Jamies made a poor throw I would call him out. I am fair at all times but you people just were to busy trying to make up cute names to actually read what I typed. But again when you are CLUELESS that is what you do.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:51 pm
It is very simple if he plays for my team he is my favorite. It really isnt that hard, until they give me a reason not to be.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:54 pm
But Joe said the Bucs weren’t a finalist to land Brady?
March 17th, 2020 at 4:56 pm
Dapostman…..If it were up to me I think I might let Byron take the reigns. Of, course he has to continue to proove himself first and improve as an OC…..Having Brady might actually be the best case scenario for him. I bet he learns a ton working with Tom this year.
Of course I could sour on Byron over the next year or 2 depending how it plays out and change my mind.
As far as QB I have no idea cause I watch very little college ball. Can’t say I remember watching any of the possible prospects Tampa fans have been talking about.

Pot meet kettle.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:57 pm
It’s Brady or Winston. That’s it. Period
Some of you people are so blind by Winston hate you fail to see all the good things he does and literally act like he’s Nathan Peterman.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:00 pm
These ndog speeches are embarrasing
What a creepo
Just wait until Brady has a bad game . You will rip him
Also , you got backed into a corner cause you banked on jameis return and called people clueless who said he wouldnt
You are the biggest hypocrite on here
Just take it snitch
March 17th, 2020 at 5:01 pm
Mark- that’s how this site is. You can’t even type that guys name without going to moderation. Hey Joe, does the unnamed a-hole have compromising pictures of you or something?
March 17th, 2020 at 5:02 pm
Da postman
You said book it that jameis would be back
😂
Tried to make fun of people saying otherwise
Dude
Go garnett and gold

So you people are pissed that I supported my QB
BRADY is your QB now!!!!!!
support him like you did JW if you’re really a bucs fan…
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 5:03 pm
NDog- you do the same thing. I’ve seen you ridicule people because they didn’t worship your FSU guy. Enough of the crying man.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:05 pm
NDog I’m glad to hear the way you are handling this news. I feared you were going to become a hater/troll if we gave up on Winston.
Have enjoyed arguing with you. It’s fun to me. One thing I will never deny is you are a true die-hard.
I will never judge a fan by if I agree or disagree. I will judge them for their passion. You sir have it & quite frankly we need more like you. Hattip

Come on guys time to get on board. If hes our QB its time to go all in and support Brady and our TEAM. But lets also all be very clear and understand it is Super Bowl or bust from here on out and we will deal with the future in the future. If this is true my new favorite QB is Tom Brady
March 17th, 2020 at 5:05 pm
Also get them facts straight OK. Hahaha
March 17th, 2020 at 5:07 pm
Brady will come out in uniform like that kid in the Little Giants movie. The one with the snot bubble who said, “my mom said the pads you gave me weren’t enough so I brought my own.”
March 17th, 2020 at 5:08 pm
Ndog,
If Brady comes to Tampa Bay, will you honestly judge his play through the same lens you did Jameis’?
I will for sure, and I hope we are winning ball games.
Leadership and protecting the football with sound decision making. This sets Brady apart from most and was missing from team.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:10 pm
Ndog,
Isn’t it super bowl or bust every year?
March 17th, 2020 at 5:11 pm
ndog
i know where you’re coming from….i support all bucs players….VHG got beat, he was still my guy….JW threw 5INTs he was still my guy….
but once VHG was released, i rooted even harder for the rookies and CD….i had my doubts but they proved me wrong…secondary got better…..
the same situation is happening on offense…..JW was sent packing and replaced with the greatest QB of all time…..
the offense will be more consistent and produce Ws…..
ima bust your b@ll$ like you did me…lol…
GO BUCS!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 5:14 pm
ndog
damn bro who stepped on your tail?…lol….
judge brady like you would JW….
use excuse #33: its his 1st year in BAs system…..it’ll get better in year2….lol…
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 5:22 pm
Bucs fans. Clowns for life.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:28 pm
I live in St. Pete and love Tampa and all of Tampa bay.
Could you “Blameless” fluffers just give it a rest! Really some are starting to post like jerks.
I CHOOSE to live here. Do you? Why wouldn’t Brady or anyone for that matter?
It’s a great place so stop with all the put downs.
Here’s that tip again JW losers…putting down other players and our HOME does not really enhance your argument at all. Just makes you look like a jerk since I imagine a majority here live in Tampa Bay by choice.
“Blameless” will either make it or he won’t. Brady or whomever plays for us will either succeed or not.
NOBODY FREAKING KNOWS THE FUTURE. Great to have opinions but again they do not make YOUR guy look any better.
NDOG….You have raised my respect for you immensely. We obvious disagree about JW but at least we are still Buc brothers.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:29 pm

Plan A being bringing Tom Brady here would account for not trading or running off Brate, the previous good words on Howard by BA and the re-signing of Auclair and Hudson.
Now what are the plans for fortifying our offensive line, running back and safety positions?
March 17th, 2020 at 5:36 pm
Yes, now would be a good time to end some of the backbiting among some here.
Let’s get behind BA, JL and our franchise. Forget the past!
They appear to be making a righteous effort to turn this franchise around, “win now” and vie for the ultimate prize!

I support the Bucs no matter who the quarterback under center is.
No risk it, no biscuit!
March 17th, 2020 at 5:46 pm
I really this. I have been a Brady basher for 20 years and I hate the patriots. Even if he led this team to a superbowl I wouldn’t support it. I despise him that much.

@SenileSenior … “Plan A being bringing Tom Brady here would account for not trading or running off Brate, the previous good words on Howard by BA and the re-signing of Auclair and Hudson.”
I have big doubts that the Bucs will be able to afford Brate’s salary if we sign Brady. Tom won’t come cheap … Spotrac lists his Market Value at $33.8 mil/year. That’s roughly $10 mil OVER what transition tagging Winston would’ve cost (IF we’d been able to do that).
With the tagging of Barrett ($15.8 mil) Spotrac estimates that we still have about $66 mil salary Cap left. Subtract JPP’s $13.5 mil and we’re down to $52.5 mil, of which Brady’s gonna eat up more than half. We could be down to $20 mil or less at this point, still with a bunch of re-signings to do (Suh, Nassib & a BUNCH of others?), plus paying for all our draft picks ($8 mil minimum), PLUS trying to land a veteran Safety & possibly several other veterans.
All for $20 mil huh? Good luck with that. My biggest concern is that we just compromised fixing this defense, once again at the expense of building some mythical offensive juggernaut that obviates the need for a dominant defense. Fool’s gold.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:26 pm
D.R.
I hear your concern and to a certain point agree.
Where we might part is I still have faith in BA and Licht to figure out ways to free up a little cash.
E.G. as you mention Brate is probably gone. So have you added his money into the mix. OJ still on his rookie deal has far more upside anyway and if anyone can help a TE straighten out his fading opportunity wouldn’t it be Brady. OJ has been an enigma to me…clearly talented but yet to find his stride,
So Brate is now a luxury…Perriman is also a luxury…so am I right Perriman and Brate will free up 8 million?
You know the roster far better than me but aren’t there some backups making a couple of million to cut loose.
Here’s an exercise for you D.R. As a committed Buc fan can you dig up another 20-30 mlllion for us. LMAO Actually I believe you could figure some ways to help.
Maybe restructure ME’s deal in a way the benefits him but still gives up cap relief?
The good news is that we’ve signed our two end pieces and I want Suh…he’s the one on the money bubble that worries me most.
More good news…we do not need any offensive FA’s after Brady. RT will come from the draft…1st…RB…QB in the 2nd and 3rd…I’d love Jalen Hurts in the 3rd…if you pick up the big RB from Boston in the 4th you might use that 2nd round pick on more defensive depth…otherwise the first three rounds go to the offense
I’ve always been a grasshopper not an ant when it comes to NFL rosters. I agree with you attention needs to be paid to cap balance…but the talk of Brady limited shelf life harming us doesn’t jibe with me. 1-2 years are fine. I want to win THIS YEAR!!! IF there is a season this year.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:34 pm
WE’RE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
It’s obvious that the ‘deal’ is done. Tom Brady is the new QB of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jason Licht is blowing smoke by saying he doesn’t know for sure. That’s nonsense. Brady chose the Bucs and he knows it.
Brady to the Bucs will be announced tomorrow morning. Brady wanted a “Day Of Mourning” for the Patriots fans today. He wasn’t about to announce his signing somewhere else without having a full day to state his appreciation for them and to say goodbye without his next team stealing that spotlight or attention away from the Pats fans.
It’s obvious the deal has been done for awhile (early yesterday) and they agreed to this “schedule”:
TUESDAY – Announce he’s leaving New England and thank the fans & organization for the 20 YEARS he was there. Giving them the full day to themselves.
WEDNESDAY – Announce that he’s headed to Tampa Bay and let the media then start putting all the attention on the Bucs and how Brady and the team will do next season.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:46 pm
Can we ban NDOG, Tmaxiepad, and this Rod Munch guy ? Holy Moly they are so annoying and probably unemployed
March 17th, 2020 at 6:48 pm
Can we mute NDOG, TMax, and this Rod Munch cat ? They are so annoying!!!
March 17th, 2020 at 6:50 pm
Ndog, you do realize that if Brady throws picks, we have to determine if they were really his fault. The OC might not like the fact he has a white QB, you know? That could hold him back. Brady has made some bad off field decisions, like choosing to put the moat around his mansion, for not supporting the 2011 CBA, etc. If only he had physically abused women at his university and on a night out in a Lyft or something, we could cut him some slack. He will need some time in BA’s sytem. Since he is so experienced, it may take him at least two years. You can’t expect him to get it right away. And above all, for any game they lose, we need to overlook Brady’s mistakes and see if there is any way to pin this on a rookie kicker. Anyone who doesn’t see this is clueless.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:50 pm
ESPN REPORTS – Brady signs tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m.
PARTY TIME!
March 17th, 2020 at 6:51 pm
Now sign James White and Devonta Freeman an OT and draft more defensive talent and we’re rocking.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:52 pm
Brady can’t announce his signing until official free agency starts.
But…guess who will be rolled out with the new Bucs uniform?
March 17th, 2020 at 6:53 pm
If this is true. Its kinda sad. He won’t last a season without getting injured. Hope we got a backup. Can’t believe We thought we were this desparate going after a 43 yr old has been. Bellcheat is smart after all. He’s great at knowing when to let players go. He always has been. We place all our hopes on a guy who cannot run 5 yards down the field. Yes, its a BUCLIFE.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:00 pm
Mike Johnson, quit yer cryin.
The Bucs were rated higher last for Pass Protection than the Patriots line and Brady survived just fine.
Quit being so dramatic. Go follow your hero Jameis to his new team and backup role somewhere.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:03 pm
Wow just texted JP whos a good friend and these were his exact words !!!” it’s done deal! “ Go Bucs and won’t be selling my stadium club tickets( discounted) or giving them away this year !! Yucs to Bubs
