Buccaneers | Rob Gronkowski not high on food chain
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski received four targets in the first two games, which head coach Bruce Arians said wasn't a surprise. 'We're not throwing the ball 50 times to the tight ends,' Arians said. 'That's what we have receivers for, that's the way our offense is built. Gronk's playing great run blocking in the fourth quarter, so I'm not concerned with his pass catches or his targets.'

Giants without Barkley.

Actually like this Daniel Jones guy. Offensive line sucks though

[Stallion]

The NYG are one of the worst teams in the NFL.

[BigSpoon]

Cam the only Pats player to test positive on the team.

[jrgum3]

Saints the latest team to have a player get infected with Covid. This is starting to get out of hand you have to wonder how they'll get through this season.

Carson Wentz just enough last night

It looks like Jones has regressed this year, he has looked pretty awful.

So has Sam Darnold.

Good point, i guess that Ivy league education doesn't put points on the board.

I can't even name the current running back and receivers for Giants. No talent around DJ.

[Otters27]

Brady looked like he didn't have it at the end there.

He's like Hendricks if he doesn't have spot percesion he doesn't have a chance

He didn't really look like he had it the past couple of years in NE either.

And now the Titans have shut down their facility again after a coach tested positive. Statement from the Titans: “This morning we learned that a staff member tested positive. We have temporarily closed our facility and are in communication with the league on the next steps.”

[DwightShrute]

NFL is shutting down the Patriots’ facility this morning after another positive test, marking the third shutdown there in 10 days, sources tell me and @fieldyates. Patriots are testing this morning and awaiting further direction from the NFL. But the status of Monday night’s game vs. Denver is in question.

[DwightShrute]

Broncos - Patriots moved to next Sunday

[Otters27]

Kyler Murray a big deal now

[Otters27]

How Tua going to play?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

How Tua going to play?

The Dolphins all of a sudden become a very interesting team. I think Tua will do just fine, he has a pretty good team around him.

seems like a great kid....but i have doubt he will be an elite QB in the NFL. hoping i'm wrong.

I think he will be good assuming he can stay healthy. Doubt he will be elite but good to very good. Dolhins also finally have a decent roster top to bottom and a lot of draft capital in the coming years. Really like their coach too, they could be really good in a couple of years.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, WR Antonio Brown agree to one-year deal

Published: Oct 24, 2020 at 09:24 AM

Michael BacaNFL.com Digital Content Producer











The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going all in.

As expected, free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown and the Buccaneers have finalized and agreed to a one-year deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday, per source.

The one-year deal will be slightly above the league minimum but Brown will have a chance to earn more via individual and team incentives, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.

Brown arrived in Tampa on Friday night and began the first day of the COVID-19 protocols. If all goes according to plan, Brown will be eligible to play for the Bucs in Week 9 after serving an eight-game suspension handed to him by the league for multiple violations of the league's personal-conduct policy.

Brown, 32, hasn't played a down in the NFL since September of 2019 when the capricious wideout had Tom Brady throwing him passes in New England for all of one game. It was the culmination of a rocky year that began with an unceremonious exit out of Pittsburgh via trade, a dramatic offseason that lead to his release from the Raiders, and after a two-week foray with the Patriots, Brown's 2019 ended with another release amid the same criminal allegations that led to his suspension from the NFL.

With a chance to hit the reset button in the later stage of his career, Brown reunites with Brady and joins a Tampa team heavily invested in winning it all this year. In their one game together last season, Brady and Brown had a palpable on-field chemistry and it's no wonder the future Hall of Fame quarterback had a hand in rekindling that connection.

Should Brown return to form, Brady's options at receiver will be an embracement of riches with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin rounding out a dynamic trio. While Evans and Godwin have had injury-laden starts to the 2020 season, Brown's arrival could offer some temporary relief before amounting to an unprecedented collection of playmakers.

Brown caught 104 passes for 1,297 and a league-leading 15 touchdowns in 2018, his last full season in the league.



The Buccaneers (4-2) currently sit atop the NFC South through six weeks and are looking for their first division title since the 2007 season. The addition of Brown for this season goes to show they are aiming much higher than that.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Will Antonio Brown still be a great player? i have my doubts.
