Jason Licht Confirms Return Of Antonio Brown, Mike Edwards

December 19th, 2021

Welcome back!

Speaking on the Buccaneers Radio Network pregame show, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht confirmed both suspended receiver Antonio Brown and safety Mike Edwards will return to the roster tomorrow when their suspensions are lifted.

“We look forward to having them back,” Licht said. “We look forward to having them in uniform next week.”

The two were popped by the NFL with a three-game suspension for flashing fake V-cards. Tonight is the final game of that suspension.

Joe is so pleased that reason and common sense were applied within the walls of One Buc Palace.

As Tom Brady would say, “Let’s f@cking go!”
