A Brady Signing Should Help Lure Ndamukong Suh
March 17th, 2020
Yes, Joe thinks 33-year-old Ndamukong Suh is more interested in cash and business than a Super Bowl ring. There’s no crime in that, and it doesn’t mean Suh isn’t busting his ass on the field.
Assuming Suh desires to grow his name (nationally and internationally) to enhance his business opportunities, then a Tom Brady signing should help the Bucs lure Suh back for his second season in Tampa.
With Brady in Tampa, the Bucs would get at least five night games next season, in addition to monstrous media attention on the team. That’s gotta be attractive to Suh, who currently is a free agent.
Back at the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager Jason Licht said Suh wants to return and the Bucs want him back.
Joe would be totally crazy excited about the Bucs’ defensive line next season if Suh were to return and the Bucs drafted a pass rusher in Rounds 1 or 2.

Didn’t I say this very thing last week? Let the FA frenzy to Tampa begin…
March 17th, 2020 at 4:37 pm
So how does a local radio guy know what Tom Brady told his agent when no one nationally knows this info? Also, why aren’t the nation sources breaking news that a local radio guy knows what Brady told his agent…
Getting WAYYYYY head of yourselves.
I mean it’s fine to speculate and all, but people aren’t speculating, they’re celebrating.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:38 pm
Great news! As long as Brady really is coming to Tampa!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:38 pm
JustBucNwin – I said it two weeks ago.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
I hope they actually have a season… And I hope fans will be allowed. I like night games.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:40 pm
Just offer Suh 3 years $21M!!
March 17th, 2020 at 4:40 pm
Definitely want Suh back. Paired with Vea they form whoop-ass run stoppers.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:41 pm
Maybe McCoy can come back as a backup off the bench since he knows this super bowl run is about to happen

Rob Munch
Cowherd and Silver are both national guys
March 17th, 2020 at 4:48 pm

Hey Rod – and look at the tweets from the PATRIOTS Play by Play guy Dale Arnold. You’re in denial. Time for your klonopin and paxil
March 17th, 2020 at 4:56 pm
Suh is a beast I hope he comes back.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:58 pm
Draft a pass rusher in Round 1 or 2 Joe ? We have to draft a Tackle in 1 and QB in 2 if Brady signs.
March 17th, 2020 at 4:59 pm
Rod,
Great minds…
March 17th, 2020 at 5:03 pm
Lol @ Rod
Way too many people saying they heard this than to treat it like Mark Cook broke the story or something.
Could it fall through?
Sure.
But it’s not stopping me from celebrating.
And Colin Cowherd is as National as is gets.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:03 pm
Suh is already incredibly wealthy. Joe you’ve become jaded. Joe is not jaded at all. –Joe Perhaps once you term JBF into a national powerhouse and you are worth a half BILLION dollars your perspective will change.
Suh became a close friend of the “Oracle of Omaha” Warren Buffet while he played at Nebraska. Suh has a construction management degree from Nebraska and has aspirations to be a general contractor after his professional career. His father, Michael Suh, is a mechanical engineer and owns his own heating and cooling company in Portland. For his first two years in college before he knew about his professional prospects, Suh had wanted to “work with my dad and build his company up to be as big as possible” after graduation.
Suh is a renaissance man and very bright. At this point again….10 million represents a TINY fraction of his net value and the investments he already holds. He is a competitor and now that he’s made his bones and his money he is free to play for a great defense…much as he did in LA.
Can anybody here tell me if they do not care about winning when they played sports. Did you play for fun? Of course. But how much more fun is winning?
March 17th, 2020 at 5:03 pm
I hope we sign the 🐐 and all the FA mercenaries come filing in, taking a team-friendly deal to go for the gusto this year.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:04 pm
gofortheface30 – I’m not in denial, I hope it happens, but I refuse to get sucked into celebrating something only to once again be left at the altar.
I’ll just wait a day and see what happens.
I recommend everyone does the same.
I also recommend 3 weeks ago that people go stock up on TP while there was plenty of supplies.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:12 pm
Where is all this money going to come from……as it stands, we could have outbid the Panthers for Bridgewater & we could have given Rivers at least a two year deal…..so Brady must be the QB we wanted…
Has anyone figured out who the QB will be in NE?
Yes…..I know…..JW…
March 17th, 2020 at 5:22 pm
Get Kinlaw in Rd 1 to learn under Suh, and a QB to learn under Brady…sounds good to me.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:24 pm
Who cares? Bowles has the draft coming up. He’s worried about re-signing this old fart??
March 17th, 2020 at 5:32 pm
@Joe
I stand happily corrected. If you are not jaded I apologize.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:36 pm
Joe…A PASS RUSHER?!?! So you’re ok with Dot at RT and a 1st round pass rusher, JPP, AND Shaq? With a 43 year old QB who wasn’t mobile when he was 23?!? Mekhi Becton (trade up) or Andrew Thomas.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:37 pm
Munch…because the local radio guy knows someone in the org.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:46 pm
Lunchbox, that’s a great plan an I agree but after SF picking up #13 yesterday I don’t believe he gets past them.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:52 pm
Rod
Is the opposite of positive thinking. His parents sent him to a school where they taught the little train made it to the top of the hill by chugging…”I think I can’t..I think I can’t…the Rod mantra.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:52 pm
We need to go OL in first to protect brady period. Go get M Gordon in FA and then Eason or Hurts in the 2nd to learn for 2 years under Brady to set up sustainability under center.
March 17th, 2020 at 5:57 pm
Full tilt for Malcolm Jenkins
March 17th, 2020 at 6:05 pm
Listen Lunch, I would love to have Kinlaw but the Bucs are picking up a 43yo immobile QB. They MUST draft an offensive tackle in the first round.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:20 pm
I would be pleased with TB12; but it’s a Bucs Life. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I would like to sign Suh for 1 year and draft his replacement in the 2nd. There are several very good DTs that should be available in the 2nd – Elliot from Missouri, Madubuike from A&M, Davis from ALA, Gallimore from OK. Draft an edge rusher in the 3rd.
If you trade OJ for a 2nd, get your edge there and S in the 3rd. If you go S in FA (Tre Boston), then you can draft another G/C in the 3rd.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:27 pm
brady will probably want brown they seem to have a bromance
March 17th, 2020 at 6:34 pm
Sign Brady and Suh, and #14 is a RT.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:38 pm
Profootballnetwork.com reporting Carl Nassib going to Vegas.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:39 pm
Carl Nassib just signed with the raiders.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:40 pm
I can’t wait to be there and see…no, feel…the electricity when Tom Brady runs out of the tunnel as the Bucs QB.
Joe, NOW you have America’s Quaterback, Pro-Bowler and I will own this one: First Ballot Hall of Famer….Tom Brady. You should wash your blog out with soap for ever pretending Winston was ANY of that.
Now Winston is a free agent that is not generating much if any buzz. Jameis L. Wnston will never be the face of anyone’s franchise. He is a serviceable backup, maybe. He had it all handed to him here, and he threw it away on so many levels.
I feel like smoking a cigar right now.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:48 pm
Bucsfan – Are you freaking kidding me. You clearly know nothing about Tom Brady if you want to dump OJ. Howard will be Gronk 2.0 now.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:50 pm
ESPN REPORTS – Brady signs tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m.
PARTY TIME!
March 17th, 2020 at 6:50 pm
OK…so I admit it… that dude has bigger arms than I do.
March 17th, 2020 at 6:56 pm

At first I thought Suh was merely a mercenary out for much money as he could before his career ends. Then I saw a couple of reports/interviews of him.
I realized that he was indeed a very bright guy. He has built up a lot of capital throughout his career. Very shrewd of him. His has big plans after football. He strike me as the real entrepreneurial type and could well end up a super rich billionaire.
He also strike me as a guy who loves playing football and certainly would like to retire with a Super Bowl ring on his finger. I think that that he believes his best chance for that is with the Buccaneers under BA.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:18 pm
To get Kinlaw the Bucs will have to jump over the 49ers. They want him. This could be a coup by BA & JL. So far so good. Sign a name corner or safety and they’re set.
March 17th, 2020 at 7:33 pm
I’m good with drafting a DE but you better find a right tackle and a running back who can run and block or TB won’t be in TB for long.
March 17th, 2020 at 8:37 pm
Not only should a RT be #1 but another OT will be needed to replace Lazy ass Smith on the left side. TB will not put up with his lazy ass. You can count on it.
March 17th, 2020 at 10:05 pm
Must bring back the squad from last year.
March 17th, 2020 at 11:19 pm
If it’s TB12…I hate it, but get it.
New Jerseys / TB12 & Gizele = “winning the off-season” w/ the MSM chatter. It’s about improving Merchandise & Ticket sales…Prime Billing, National TV night games & international marketing opportunities for Team Glazer’s GQ 43 yr old coverboy.
I get it… The Ownership is envisioning “Beckham of the NFL”…New Uniforms “return to glory” of SB years…What’s “New is Old”.
But from a football stand point…It’s a terrible concept in practical application, when your new QB1 is OLD…TB12 retirement tour is at best a 50-50 roll of the dice. TB12 is a camp injury away from looking like Unitas as a Charger.
If it does goes south & it could – fast…What’s plan B??? I don’t see a Dan Fouts waiting in the wings, on this roster….(Not w/ Griffin & Gabbert expected to be fighting for #2 reps in camp)…FO better be ready to draft a good young one & early.
March 18th, 2020 at 12:38 am
This hold team is old and yall think we going to win lol lol …
