The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will begin their regular season with a bang at Arlington, Texas. Tom Brady and his team would take on the Dallas Cowboys, who would look to snap their decades-long playoff-losing streak. For Tampa Bay, it will not be easy as the offensive side has an injury plague running. However, a senior NFL writer believes that TB12 could have some pixie dust with the help of Odell Beckham Jr. on the roster.

Yahoo! Sports’ Charles Robinson sat down on his podcast to discuss some off-season questions that remain unanswered. One of them was Odell Beckham Jr. The wideout is coming off a Super Bowl victory but is now without a team. However, the senior writer was positive when naming the Buccaneers as OBJ’s destination.
TB12 x Odell Beckham Jr. to happen soon?
Robinson delivered on the “You Pod to Win the Game” podcast, “If OBJ rides this out, let’s say he rides it out, he’s looking healthy, he still hasn’t signed, and it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m back in the mix in November. I’m running,’. I think if Tampa Bay is where they expect to be in November, I absolutely think that Tampa Bay is the kind of team that could say, ‘Hey man, let’s just go do this. Let’s go win this.’”

The senior NFL writer also said that Brady and Beckham Jr. are close and have a fantastic friendship. Even Gisele and OBJ are close. Furthermore, TB12 wields tremendous influence over those in his inner circle, and the WR is among them.
The recent receiver issues in the Bucs’ offense are something worth noticing. Even Julio Jones’ injury scare is no secret. To have a veteran like Odell Beckham Jr in the mix could be beneficial for wideouts like Mike Evans, Russell Gage, and more.

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers faced the Colts in the preseason finale. However, the team’s lineup had some gaps. While Russell Gage is doubtful for Week 1, Ryan Jensen is off the list for that day. They are lacking in various spots. However, Tom Brady remains upbeat and provides insight into their first regular-season game.

Brady mentioned that everyone is working on multiple programs. Chris and Russ, presumably, would be there. The tight ends executed an outstanding job. They have some line injuries, which the franchise is dealing with. But they are trying to put forth a decent team to contend.
