The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a chunk of their worthy athletes via free agency and retirement. But the hopes are still up for the Pewter Pirates. Brady may want a legendary story-like finish to his career. He is turning all the tides to get competent faces to the roster.
During the UNDISPUTED: Skip and Shannon, Hall of Famer TE Shannon Sharpe has slight concerns over the Buccaneers’ new WR. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bolstering the roster, and WR Jones could be an asset. But Shannon Sharpe calls he may not go for the entire season.
Shannon Sharpe mentions, “I think he’ll get 600, but I’m not so sure that he can play a whole season and play the whole season.” Further, the Ex-NFL TE thinks Julio Jones might be the season starter instead of Chris Godwin.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles said a year ago they were hit hard by injuries at the WR position and didn’t want to wait until mid season to have to add players because the quality players are on rosters. Why they signed Julio Jones now.

Julio Jones has empowering statistics, and he did great throughout his career. However, the injury concerns were a big part of his course. Shannon Sharpe has a good point, no matter how much the fans are behind the WR.
Shannon Sharpe lays more concerning prediction over Julio Jones
Julio Jones pulled up a move that would look like something unimaginable. Teaming up with a former divisional rival who cost his Super Bowl ring is a curious twist of events. Moderator Jenny Taft questions Sharpe whether Julio Jones will go over or under. The answer might be slightly concerning for the Bucs enthusiasts.

“I’m gonna go under… Because I just think the injury history. He’s only played 10 games last year, and he had 434 yards, which is 43 yards a game. The question is, ‘help.’ If he’s healthy, Julio Jones can help his team. But I haven’t seen him healthy in three years. So I’m just gonna go on based on what I’ve seen over the last two years that he played somewhere between eight and twelve games. So I’m gonna say under.”
