Tom Brady and the Buccaneers have made a steady start with a 3-2 record. But they need a lift-off in the new season. The Todd Bowles-coached team hopes for a playoff finish. As per new trade rumors, the Buccaneers are targeting a new weapon, to give more power to Tom Terrific in the new season.
This new move came after a surprise retirement by Cole Beasley, who was added to Brady’s suggestion. The WR played only two games before announcing his retirement. Former Super Bowl champion, Odell Beckham Jr. is the new option in front of Brady. He was part of the Rams team, which won the Super Bowl last season. OBJ is a free agent and TB12 has high hopes. The Bucs are also struggling with player injuries and replacements becoming a necessity.
