Tampa Bay Buccaneers, WR Antonio Brown agree to one-year deal
As expected, free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown and the Buccaneers have finalized and agreed to a one-year deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday, per source.
The one-year deal will be slightly above the league minimum but Brown will have a chance to earn more via individual and team incentives, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.
Brown arrived in Tampa on Friday night and began the first day of the COVID-19 protocols. If all goes according to plan, Brown will be eligible to play for the Bucs in Week 9 after serving an eight-game suspension handed to him by the league for multiple violations of the league's personal-conduct policy.
Brown, 32, hasn't played a down in the NFL since September of 2019 when the capricious wideout had Tom Brady throwing him passes in New England for all of one game. It was the culmination of a rocky year that began with an unceremonious exit out of Pittsburgh via trade, a dramatic offseason that lead to his release from the Raiders, and after a two-week foray with the Patriots, Brown's 2019 ended with another release amid the same criminal allegations that led to his suspension from the NFL.

I didn't have a problem with Tampa Bay. In fact I was happy for former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians. Oh well--it looks like I'll be rooting against Brady again.
