Odell Beckham Jr: Tom Brady wishes come true with the Buccaneers
Tom Brady has his way with the Buccaneers. Can we really rule anything out? Just so we can get ahead of this, the Buccaneers are almost assuredly not going to add Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ’s price tag is too high, and it makes little sense for the Bucs to move off of Godwin for a […] Odell Beckham Jr: Tom Brady wishes come true with the Buccaneers - The Pewter Plank - The Pewter Plank - A Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Browns’ Odell Beckham (13) waves to fans prior to the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland at Raymond James Stadium in August of 2019. | Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports Recent reports had this pairing as one to watch this offseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a tight spot with their salary cap situation.

Free Agent Spotlight: OLB, Leonard Floyd
Photo by Steph Chambers/ Could this former first-round bust go from the best defense in the league to a championship one? After profiling potential fits for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and upcoming free-agents Adrian Peterson, Haason Reddick, Patrick Peterson and K.J. Wright, next up for me is Los Angeles Rams linebacker Leonard Floyd.

Free Agent Spotlight: WR, T.Y. Hilton
Photo by Nic Antaya/ Could the longtime Indianapolis receiver be the next to join forces with Tom Brady in Tampa? For several years now, wide receiver has been one of the biggest positions of strength for the Buccaneers. It certainly was in 2020, with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson all contributing and making for a group that was five-deep. Not to mention, Justin Watson has shown to be a capable pass-catcher himself and even he was typically Tampa Bay’s sixth choice at the position last season. However, for as strong as the...
