Tampa Bay Buccaneers Eyeing Tom Brady Replacement From AFC Franchise, GM Says ‘We’re Not Worried’

Tom Brady, arguably the most accomplished QB in the NFL, finally departed the game after a 23-year-long career. But as TB12 moves on, his team will have to pick up right where he left off. However, the team needs a QB to fill in the shoes of a legend. While it’s not easy to replace a seven-time Super Bowl champion, but the Buccaneers will have to try their best.

By bringing in Dave Canales from the Seahawks, the Bucs have put one foot in the door when it comes to rebuilding their offense. Despite making it to the postseason, their performance this year saw a lot of gaps that needed fixing. With Canales on board, could they potentially bring in someone who’s connected to him to replace a newly retired Brady’s vacant role?

Who could Tampa Bay bring in to fill in for Tom Brady?

Dave Canales had a phenomenal season with the Seahawks as the quarterbacks’ coach. Orchestrating Geno Smith’s rise from the ashes, the current Bucs OC built a strong connection with the QB. Could Canales possibly influence Smith to join him in Tampa Bay?

Seahawks GM John Schneider had a say in the matter. According to a report from the league, the GM is “not worried”. Schneider said, “Obviously, Dave has a great relationship with Drew [Lock] and Geno. Shoot, he did a great job working with Geno (and) staying after practice with Drew.” He added, “Free agency doesn’t start until the middle of March so there’s a huge period here where we have time to work through things.” While the free agency hasn’t commenced yet, there’s no doubt the team has already given thought to the most advantageous possibilities.

Brady’s potential replacement has big decisions ahead of him

The NFL world didn’t think the Seattle Seahawks had it in them to go far this season. After the departure of Russell Wilson, someone who has been the face of the team for a while, many assumed that the team wouldn’t survive. But the resurrection of Geno Smith’s career stunned the league.

Leading the Seahawks and overcoming the odds, Smith’s comeback has been nothing short of spectacular. As he hits free agency, how do the chances of the QB being lured to Tampa Bay look? Given his close bond with Canales, it’s not a far-fetched theory. But after the successful season he’s had, perhaps Smith will look towards hopefully continuing on his upward trajectory in Seattle.
