Tom Brady Likely Heading to Buccaneers

Tom Brady is taking his talents to West Florida. At least that is what FOX Sports blowhard Colin Cowherd is saying.

Cowherd, who is FOX's version of Mike Francesa -- he gets it wrong almost all the time -- claims that he heard from a "good source" that Brady plans to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as soon as Wednesday.

"He was willing to sign with New England but he watched Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins go to other franchise," Cowherd said.

The Bucs do have two explosive wide receivers in Chris Godwin (86 catches 1,333 yards, 9 touchdowns) and Mike Evans (67 catches, 1,157 yards, 8 touchdowns), and head coach Bruce Arians is a quarterback guru -- just look what he did for Ben Roethlisburger and Andrew Luck early in their careers.

While the Bucs are not a Super Bowl caliber team just yet, they have potential, and they did go 7-9 in Arians first season in Tampa.

Will be fascinating to see how much Brady has left in the tank, and whether he will regret leaving New England for Tampa Bay. Keep in mind he is no longer in an easy division like the AFC East. The NFC South has formidable opponents in the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. There is no guarantee of anything for Tampa this year even with the 43-year old Brady under center.
