Sales Pitch By Antonio Brown
March 21st, 2020
Lobbies for work.
Apparently aware of all the rumors on social media, whacko receiver Antonio Brown decided to take to the local radio airwaves to grovel for work.
With the Bucs.
Brown, who has been rumored to have some sort of blood bond with Bucs quarterback Tom Brady to tag along wherever Brady popped up, appeared on the “Mike Calta Show,” heard on WHPT-FM 102.5. Apparently Brown wants to make sure all the listeners in the area know he wants to work and play in Tampa Bay.
When Calta asked Brown where he wanted to suit up this fall (provided the NFL lets him), Brown said, “Preferably with Tom [Brady].”
Brown said he did communicate with Brady this week.
“I congratulated him,” Brown said. “I wished him well. He’s one of my close friends around the NFL.”
Brown, who played for Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians when Arians was the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh, didn’t pass on a chance to slurp Arians.
When Brown was asked if Arians can take Brady and the Bucs to a Super Bowl, Brown didn’t hesitate.
“Absolutely,” Brown said. “Not only is Bruce Arians a great head coach, but he is a great offensive genius. … I think he likes me. We had a lot of fun.”
There have been reports floating around that it is unlikely the Bucs sign Brown. So until he signs, he won’t sign, if he ever signs.
But here is what Joe cannot figure out. Didn’t the Bucs lead the NFL in passing last year?
With a quarterback half the fanbase couldn’t wait to run out of town?And the Bucs just told him, don’t let the door hit you in the arse. And the Bucs bring back two if not their three top receivers from last season and are now with a guy who at quarterback who has six rings to his name?
So what is this sudden need for a receiver? Then last night there were rumors that Emmanuel Sanders, who signed with the Saints, was in play with the Bucs.
Joe doesn’t get it.
Last Joe checked, the Bucs need a running back, a safety and a right tackle. So instead of addressing those holes the team should eat up cap space and sign a free agent receiver?
Someone help Joe figure this out here.
If you need a receiver that bad, then bring back Breshad Perriman.

Don’t.
March 21st, 2020 at 12:12 am
Brady is here to work with Evans, Godwin, Howard and Make America Brate Again. All 4 of which are better choices than AB. Please remember that the Bucs are trying their best to be less dysfunctional, not more…..
AB will get another shot when injuries start hitting and someone needs a number 1 on short notice, until then he should seek counseling.
Evans is better than AB and he’s sane.
Godwin is as good as AB and he’s a hell of a well spoken guy and definitely not psycho
March 21st, 2020 at 12:22 am
Bucs don’t need that headache…
RB, S & RT maybe a DL for depth…
March 21st, 2020 at 12:23 am
I dont see what the big deal is. He obviously would come cheap and you can cut him at the first sign of him being any sort of problem. And the best WR Duo would turn into the best WR Trio in the league. Of course it all depends on when he would be available to play. But I dont see the reason to be all scared. Low risk/high reward.
March 21st, 2020 at 12:23 am
trade evans for trent williams and a pick
sign AB, lets do what brady wants. Mike evans is not reaching out to brady like he should. Still besties with jameis, he needs to get over it and release a statement or something. We dont need a djax/winston situation brewing with evans and brady
March 21st, 2020 at 12:25 am
I mean, is he willing to sign for $2 million a season?
March 21st, 2020 at 12:31 am
Gotta love all the crazies coming out the woodwork
March 21st, 2020 at 12:45 am
Bellicheat let go cause he had too
Crazy
Pull up his furniture out the window And cop out front door incident too
Farting in front of dr was funny but cmon …
He thinks he is the one and he is not
Bellicheat had aaron hernandez until blat blat
He will get peaved if mike evans gets the ball
Mike evans is the future
March 21st, 2020 at 12:46 am
Same with Godwin
March 21st, 2020 at 12:58 am
Hard pass. He’s poisonous.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:00 am
Probably much cheaper than ME. If he’s grown up, just another reason to trade ME get picks and save money and not miss a step and more players in the draft. No risk it no biscuit.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:14 am
Perriman is not 1/10th the WR that Brown is.
Also if Brady wants Brown, then you get him Brown.
The team is in win right this second mode, and good teams create salary space. The Bucs have done their cap in a way where they could build a winner then cash in their chips to go all in if needed. Well, this is where we are.
If Brady wants him, get him, and stop whining about it.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:17 am
evans knows how to go up and get it like moss did with brady…
wait till you see brady start delivering high balls purposely and evans grabbing them out of the air…
please shut up crazy people
March 21st, 2020 at 1:20 am
san antonio brown should not even be thought about…
he will cause so much dissent in the locker room…
a guy like jpp will have to put him thru a wall or something…
no need for any of that…
he’s a crazy mental case and belongs with a flap job franchise…
we are on too good of a trajectory to deal with san antonio brown
March 21st, 2020 at 1:23 am
Wait, when did the idiot brigade suddenly get their parties in a knot over Mike Evans. I must have missed that drama.
Anywho dummies, you ADD Brown, the point is to make the team better. Subtracting your best receiver doesn’t make the team stronger. If covid makes you dumber, you dopes are the epicenter of the breakout.
Also if you did get Brown he’s not getting more than maybe $5m or something – no one is paying him big bucks and it sounds like he’s broke. So you force him to sign on the cheap if he wants to play and there’s no guarantees in his deal. That’s how you sign him – and if Brady really is pushing for him, then you get him.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:25 am
Bucs gonna Buc.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:39 am
@Rod Munch,
Don’t ruin the Tom Brady experience by bringing in AB. Everyone knows he’s gonna cry the minute Mike or Chris get more targets.
This is a moot point anyway because AB is still under investigation and he’s got a screw loose.
I doubt Brady lobbied for AB as much as the media is making it out to be. But he is a cancer and we’ve already gone through that mess. Belicheat’s system is about the only system that can possibly get an ROI from losers.
March 21st, 2020 at 2:11 am
Jameis had this website rolling. Sad now… comments don’t get close to 20.
Only bandwagon two face fans are in here. Time to move on to another website for real buc fans.
March 21st, 2020 at 2:15 am
AB is a number 1 receiver….
evans is a #1
godwin is a #1
evan and godwin are making it work…
evan used to be more thuggish or hot headed…but…
he has matured and grown into his stardom…
he is semi cerebral now and works really hard…
godwin is cerebral…
AB is thuggish and will create a huge mess…
we already have 2 number 1’s who make it work…
adding in a crazy 3rd number one like brown is a recipe for disaster…
also we have 2 te’s…
also miller and watson as depth…
we need a decent 3rd receiver if tom thinks miller and watson are not it…
and we need that receiving running back…
simply no need for antonio brown…
if tom loves him, give him box tickets to come to a few games and he can chill all week with giselle at the pool or beach…
antonio brown is a wild dude…just watch hard knocks with gruden from last year
March 21st, 2020 at 2:16 am
AB is a really wild dude…
someone would prolly have to yoke him up inside the locker room…
and there is no need to even go there…just avoid it
March 21st, 2020 at 2:42 am
Looks like a concerted effort by all the JW posters to get Brown, he ruins what is being built and then they can point to Jaymiss and tell all us real fans we told you so !
No JW coming back here boys, nothing to see so just move on along.
March 21st, 2020 at 2:42 am
Not enough footballs for him. We just turned a corner. No need to destroy it with a team/coach killer addition.
March 21st, 2020 at 2:53 am
if you don’t fall in line in new england, you fall in line nowhere…
#BottomLine
March 21st, 2020 at 3:23 am
I really want to say no and not even think about it again, especially if we can bring Perriman back on a team friendly deal. But what if we dont get Perriman? AB would still come cheap im sure, since he wants to play with Tom so bad. And structure the contract so that if he pulls any ish, he’s outta here. I dont know….im slowly warming up to it, especially if he’s cheaper than Perriman. And dude knows he’s on his last run even if he the nfl would let him back on the field. And we all know how BA is with chances for malcontents. It could work, but like i said, one wrong move and you’re out. A 1 year cheap deal, eh, no riskit no bisquick!
March 21st, 2020 at 3:31 am
Maybe not Brown but Sanders would fill Perriman’s spot perfectly if the price is comparable to what Perriman is asking for. Why is Joe so reluctant to upgrading?
Makes you look like you’re saying now that we have Brady we can’t have more weapons. This would have no bearing on getting help at running back, safety or right tackle. You seem jealous, and butthurt.
March 21st, 2020 at 3:43 am
Hmm, or we could trade a 3rd or 4th for Edelman….i kind of like that idea better.
March 21st, 2020 at 4:36 am
Sign him up…put him on a short leash and make a run for it
March 21st, 2020 at 4:37 am
Yall sound like a bunch of bitches talking bout the locker room distraction…these are grown men and competitors..sign him up and make him earn a role…..
March 21st, 2020 at 5:23 am
Yes Joe we led the NFL in passing as well as pic sixes and interceptions ! Get over it . Don’t beat this horse to death again and again and again ……. jay miss is gone and still waiting for the phone to ring ! No one wants a turn over machine like you do !
March 21st, 2020 at 5:43 am
Johnny U
Why do you say Evans likes JW & not Tom Brady… that’s pure speculation.
Evans seemed pretty frustrated w JW many times last yr when he was wide open & missed..
I like Evans but before AB had a breakdown he smoked…. Evans as a # 1 wr. In famous words of JW check your stat sheet..
With that said AB is a problem now and I suggest they don’t sign him. But if sane, how unstoppable are those 3 WR’s at TB 12 disposable. It would be fun to watch.
Joe – I think the play on WR is the Bucs are all in for these 2yrs then rebuild mode. I thought they would have drafted one of these WR’S because it’s a deep class and after 2 yrs my guess is they will need to dump ME contract bc we need to sign GODWIN & having a Cede Lamb would make that easier transition while again making Brady unstoppable for now.
I agree we need a S, DL & RT but it appears they may see it different it’s exciting watching how they decide to build around him for this short 2yr window. Go Bucs!
March 21st, 2020 at 5:57 am
Hell to the No!…
I’d rather see how Brady can elevate Scotty Miller and Justin Watson’s game…Brown is a ticking time bomb…we have enough mouths to feed in our receiver room without have him in here whining about not getting the ball enough…
Don’t! Do iT Jason
March 21st, 2020 at 5:58 am
If the Bucs have Three Top receivers then a Defense would have to play more CBs so less in the box to stop the run
The Run game would improve
Maybe our problem last year is Teams gave the long pass up on Winston because the chance of him throwing an INT was high and they could crush the run which also allowed for more pressure on QB and more sacks
With Brady a team CANT do that because he will eat you up
Great run game will make a better passing game
Great Passing game will make a better run game
March 21st, 2020 at 6:02 am
@Dlavid…
If Jameis swallows his ego, he’ll realize that staying in Tampa as a backup my be his best option…Take the pay cut, sit and learn from the goat…
March 21st, 2020 at 6:41 am
Simple its called depth. When Evams and or Godwin go down its worth having someone of eqivelant talent ready to take over.Imagine Godwin, Evans, Brown and Perriman. The pats always brought in troubled players and took advantage of their low salaries.Brown would come at virtually nothing and he would likely keep his mouth shut and work.his tail off.If you want a ring its a no brainer.If he is a cancer in the locker room cut him
March 21st, 2020 at 6:53 am
If you can play at more than a JAG level, it seems you can get away with just about anything,……………… except destroying team chemistry.(cancer)
tickrdr
March 21st, 2020 at 6:59 am
Trade for Edelman! Belicheat will realize he can’t win with what he has then concede to a rebuild, his older vets will become available soon.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:13 am
Word has it that Emmanuel Sanders is interested in playing my here and if that’s the case and we can sign him for a reasonable price then we definitely should. You should see how much credit Debo gives to Sanders for his development. He would bring another hardworking class act into the locker room.
AB is a ticking time bomb but man if he can just push that toothpaste back in the tube and keep the cap on it for just one year and come help us get this championship then I’d be all for it. The dude is arguably the best route runner ever.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:19 am
Joe. Don’t get your ponytail in a wad, he ain’t in play. We will go to Perriman and tell him we would like him back. Here is the number or we will draft one in the later round and do not miss a chance to play with Tom who will set you up for a payday in 2 years.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:20 am
When I catch a TD from TB you won’t worry bout that other stuff.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:21 am
There goes Sanders to the Saints! He’s going to make Michael Thomas a very happy man.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:26 am
I heard he is due some league suspension when things get sorted out. And if that is true, the last thing we need is a receiver that can’t play until Nov. due to character concerns.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:29 am
We all come me from something…remember that!!!
March 21st, 2020 at 7:37 am
Evans is a huge cap hit. Godwin will need a new contract after next year. Evans is more into personal accolades than team achievement. When asked about a ball he dropped that could have won a game he responded with his stat sheet for the day. But, we lost the game. Not too different from ‘ballin’ Jameis after a pick six. Now he goes silent ’cause Jameis looses his job? Bucs would be wise to consider again, what’s behind door one. Would not even be surprised to see CeeDee Lamb in Buc pewter if he falls that far. AB is interesting. Awesome talent. Maybe he looks in the mirror and realized TB12 and Bucco Bruce are his absolute last chance.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:39 am
What is there to help Joe? The Bucs aren’t going after him. Non-story. BS media hype. You are continuing it.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:39 am
No thank you.
March 21st, 2020 at 7:41 am
Let Winston and A. Brown work together…somewhere else. They are both cancers, losers, etc. Compare the two:
What Brady Says:
“Excited, humble, hungry. If there is one thing I have learned about football, it’s nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that … you earn the trust and respect of those around you through commitment every single day. I’m starting a new football journey and thankful for the (Bucs) for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do. I look forward to meeting all my new teammates and coaches and proving (to) them that they can believe and trust in me.”
What Winston Says:
“I’m ballin'”
“Check your sheet.”
March 21st, 2020 at 7:45 am
We have NO IDEA what he is willing to play for?
Tell me he’s not worth a cool $4 Mill one year deal.
The more weapons the merrier.
They still have plenty of wiggle room for Trent Williams too.

I usually try not to insult people, but it happens on occasion. This is one of those times.
Any fan who wants AB here is a total idiot. Did DJax teach you nothing? After all Brown has done lately, why reward him with a likely trip to the Superbowl, which would drive up his value next year?
The Bucs have removed all bad influences from the locker room. Why add another?
Btw, Bucs were reported to be talking with Perriman yesterday.

Adrnagy…you, July Joe, and Jameis1of1 should go set up your own blog. You could split the ad money three ways. Wait, you are probably all three the same dudes anyway At least I’d hope you are because I feel better knowing there aren’t so many severely mentally dead people out there. You could call your website suckjameissuck.com.
In the meantime, Brady’s ballin’ — Check your sheet.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:03 am
The dude is. Locker room cancer.Hes all about ME !!
Bye all accounts the Bucs have good chemistry,why screw it up.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:06 am
Bonzai, AB is more like Winston than he is DJax. DJax had Winston’s number, along with a host of others, including Koetter. I agree, DJax had a bad attitude in not trying so hard for Winston, as we saw what he did when he had a QB throwing to him that he respected. You don’t usually get to pick your team mates. But Djax did the right thing by getting the heck out of Tampa and away from Winston. Now, AB…just a loser and dirtbag in general. Again, more than Winston than DJax. There is a spectrum here. AB on worst, then Winston, then Djax. Neither one need to be on this team.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:07 am
This is weird but jameis just called the authorities
Adrn nagy just got reported as giving jameis a physical
Consent is now the verbiage
March 21st, 2020 at 8:19 am
AB is a crazy clone of former receiver TO who carried his garbage to every team that signed him. A zebra doesn’t change its stripes. So no to AB, he’s desperate n psychotic. He feels Brady is his bail out card, that’s the only reason he’s latching on. We have two 1000 yd receivers from last year with Perriman peaking at the end of the season. I’d rather bring in Julian Edelman. History has proven what Prima donnas can do to a team as former Bucs players Keyshawn Johnson n DeSean Jackson created enough havoc n chaos in the Bucs locker room to bring this team down. Again, no thanks to AB.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:39 am
No. Just no. Isn’t he still on the Commissioner’s Exempt List fpr all his highjinx last season, and rape allegations by his trainer? Not even sure he can be signed, let alone play.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:40 am
In desean Jackson’s defense. Not that he should get one. Mike Evans and other receivers last year had little desean episodes. Imagine working your butt off all week at practice getting ready for a game. Game comes you run deep routes half the game winded and tired only to be overthrown when wide open or underthrown and getting your head taken off. I know it’s the nfl and your suppose to be a professional. But how many times have any of you in backyard,flag, or high school football had crappy qb who kept wanting you to run deep routes when they can’t throw a deep ball to save there life. You stop running as hard after a while because you know your not getting a good ball thrown to you. It’s gets really frustrating it’s human nature.
It’s like playing your butt off on defense in basketball but then you have a ball hog on your team that wont pass the ball on offense. Your like screw this im loafing a little more on defense this isn’t fun.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:41 am
We do need a RB, OT and a safety. However – we also need a WR3. If it’s Perriman I’m ok with that but Indont want to overpay for Perriman because he is not that great. The dude has had 3 decent games during his entire career. I’m not an AB fan, obviously the guy is a bipolar weirdo, but to say we don’t need another receiver is silly.
Luckily the draft will be packed with talented receivers. We will probably be drafting one in round 3 or 4.
March 21st, 2020 at 8:42 am
Didn’t BA say he didn’t care for AB being that much of a diva (from their time in Pittsburgh) and wants no part of him?
March 21st, 2020 at 8:50 am
Brown is not worth the headache. If we can get Perriman back on the cheap, great. If not, there are tons of decent #3’s available in the draft.
March 21st, 2020 at 9:30 am
If we cant get Perriman back, then get us Chase Claypool in the 3rd….or trade that 3rd for Edelman! There it is.
March 21st, 2020 at 9:31 am
ANTONIO is one GIANT STINKY TURD, you want that sitting right in the middle of your locker room?
That’s a VERY BIG OH HELL TO THE NO!!!
March 21st, 2020 at 9:39 am
After seeing that disgusting video of his crazy ass screaming at his kids mother and police it’s clear this dude is an insane scumbag. No thanks.
March 21st, 2020 at 9:46 am
If they can sign AB for far less tan why Perriman is worth, I’d say do it. (Of course, he’d likely end up like Stepan Diggs, bitching about not getting the ball enough)
March 21st, 2020 at 9:47 am
Agree Bonzai…don’t see it…for a multitude of reasons.
If we did it would tell you one thing…that Brady had the power to make that call.
March 21st, 2020 at 9:56 am
“Joe doesn’t get it”.
Welcome to the confusing world of Jason Licht. The same guy that drafted a TE in the 1st round when Brate just came off a career season. Don’t get me started on his drafting of kickers early on.
Licht still hasn’t drafted an guy to play in the trenches with his first few picks since Vea. One just needs to look around and realize that’s how you build a contender. Our GM doesn’t get it either.
March 21st, 2020 at 10:28 am
Bucs fans really confuse me! How could we be sitting around complaining at the fact that we trying to get AB wow!! And tgen actually have the nerves to argue that b.peraiman is better than AB wow! We just landed the greatest QB in nfl history obviously were trying to get to the superbowl! When golden state was in there prime and went and got kevin Durant nobody from golden state was upset. If it was up to me I would get better at every position if I was a gm i would be calling ab today!! Can you imagine chris Godwin playing slot and Mike Evans and aB on the outside its basically impossible.
March 21st, 2020 at 10:29 am
To stop
March 21st, 2020 at 10:50 am
There is only ONE football…even for Tom Brady. Do the math. If he throws it 35 times he already has two great WR’s…two potentially great TE’s and I feel certain we WILL get an RB or even TWO for him and we already have ROJO.
We’re trying to clean up our locker room not destroy it. DJAX is a fraction of the head case that is AB…agree Joe…it’s like the Discover commercial where they play all the clips of actors going NO in many different ways. NO…nnnnnno…No way…
Both Montana and Manning brought some players with them to help implement their offensive values.
So as many have suggested we sign Dion Lewis…great out of the backfield and knows Brady…then we draft AJ Dillion a beast who has hands as soft as butter.
Dillon can provide the muscle…ROJO the speed and shiftiness and Lewis the dependable hands and Brady connection.
We are getting close…there is light at the end of the tunnel..if it doesn’t get crushed by Covid.
Speaking of Covid my wife and I went to the Vinoy Park last night on St. Pete’s waterfront. Plenty of space for social distancing…great views…fresh air off the Bay…kinda funny anytime people pass each other they make sure to separate as far as possible. If you’re going nuts I recommend this highly.
March 21st, 2020 at 11:18 am
@johnnyU get over yourslef. Mike evans doesnt have to do anything. What you expect him to get on one knee and bow to brady? I love how dumb fans, whos name we mever see on here. Create drama when there isnt any.
March 21st, 2020 at 11:23 am
Herbie
There are many Buc fans who have a problem with dudes who assault women, or are mental basket cases, or both…
Some things are more important than catching a football.
Even Chucky let this clown go, and he never met a thug he didn’t like.
March 21st, 2020 at 11:25 am
And besides…
Not a word has been said about his legal case in quite a while…must be fairly bad.
March 21st, 2020 at 11:39 am
No f’ing way.
March 21st, 2020 at 11:55 am
He would not be worth it even if he was free
March 21st, 2020 at 11:58 am
Rumors are silly. Remember Philip Rivers was coming to the Bucs because his family moved to the western Florida panhandle.
March 21st, 2020 at 12:54 pm
“Looks like a concerted effort by all the JW posters to get Brown, he ruins what is being built and then they can point to Jaymiss and tell all us real fans we told you so !”
So help me guys. Am I reading this wrong. Or has JW love forced a poster to lose his mind? Simply count the posts that are totally AGAINST this not supportive. Does JW have some ability to to snatch brains?
But the dumbest comment of the day award goes to somebody who can remain nameless.
Blasting ME as a selfish player!! I concede that like JW ME was immature his first few seasons…whining to the refs…begging for calls…wanting to throw down with DB’s getting suspended…but unlike JW ME grew up.
How many First round draft picks…used to being #1 WR for years…would so graciously accept a third round draft pick blowing up at the expense of ME’s targets. ME was amazing last year and all class.
March 21st, 2020 at 1:36 pm
I trust Tom Brady. I have no idea what he really thinks though.
March 21st, 2020 at 2:52 pm
So you dopes need to get your stories straight…
The guys who supported Winston in the past are saying if Brady wants Brown, then you get him Brown…
Uh, how is that Winston supporters trying to undermine something. Saying you throw full support behind the new QB and give him anything he wants, you must win now, is a bad thing?
Then you have idiots saying get rid of Evans on top of it?
It’s just amazing how dumb the posters here can be, it’s like I’m listening to sports talk radio callers – which is why I don’t listen to sports talk radio.
I do actually enjoy the back and forth with people who aren’t dullards and don’t just repeat what they read on bumper stickers, but I don’t enjoy talking to people whose primary source of protein is eating crayons.
March 21st, 2020 at 5:51 pm
Well the way I see it is, if AB applies for reinstatement to the NFL and is granted, and he gets suspended 6-8 games. Then some one is going to pick him up. Guaranteed.
I would assume this would mean his legal problems would be resolved to the satisfaction of the NFL and they are okay with his mental health state of mind.
Now, I do think we have enough talent at the WR position in Evans and Godwin, but AB is a different type of receiver. The kind Brady really thrives with. That jitterbug, shifty short and fast guy that opposing defenses have to game plan for. On the field AB is still a top 10.
Do you want the Saints to get him or another Super Bowl contender to pick him up? What about keeping him away from a contender?
What about this rumor, real or not, that TB12 has some input on players on the offensive side of the ball. Brady and AB did develop a really good chemistry the short time there were together. Plus they have some type of bromance going on together. Complementing each other and shout outs etc.
So, are we now telling Brady what is best for him and the team? I’m pretty sure Brady has forgotten more football strategy and chemistry then we will ever know or experience. After all, we are just expressing our views on a forum that Brady nor the Bucs front office will never read.
Bottom line is, if the NFL says he can play, and the Bucs and Brady see fit to sign him, then so be it. I’m really fine with whatever the team decides to do.
Go Bucs!

Well the way I see it is, if AB applies for reinstatement to the NFL and is granted, and he gets suspended 6-8 games. Then some one is going to pick him up. Guaranteed.

Go away AB.
The Only thing they need on offense is another lineman, a slot receiver, RB.
As we have seen over the years, Brady can make any slot receiver look pretty damn good.

What couch said. Without the headaches Brown it’s better than Perriman but I would be concerned how Evans and Godwin getting all their catches would impact his attitude.

You’re crazy if you don’t want Antonio Brown. You don’t need a WR? Debatable. You don’t need a Kick Return / Punt Return Specialist? Not debatable. You do.
While at Central Michigan, Antonio Brown was a prolific Kick Return/Punt Return Specialist. He was used sparingly during his tenure, due to his importance to the Offense.
3 Seasons, Kick Returns:
Attempts: 113
Yards: 2612
Average YPA: 23.1
TDs: 2
3 Seasons, Punt Returns:
Attempts: 53
Yards: 822
Average YPA: 15.5
TDs: 3
