Analysis
As soon as QB Tom Brady ended his retirement and announced his return, the Buccaneers made the moves to reload for another championship run. HC Bruce Arians is out, but this has always been the Tom Brady Show. The veteran losses are mitigated by the veteran adds. Don’t count Gronkowski for a late season return. If Tom Terrific truly has the desire to win, the Bucs are the team to beat in the NFC South.
