1. Tom Brady

If Tampa Bay can sign Tom Brady, then it’s time to move on from Jameis Winston.

You can say all you want that Brady’s arm strength has dwindled or that he’d get killed behind the Bucs’ offensive line, but neither of those statements are true.

Brady would get the ball out immensely quicker than Winston and he’ has more than enough arm strength to test the back-end of the defense and make his wide receivers better.

Brady has never played with a wide receiver core with the talent that Tampa Bay currently possesses and he’d, without a doubt, elevate the offense and make the Buccaneers one of the favorites in the NFC South.

It’s a longshot that Licht and Arians could lure Brady down to Tampa, but it’s certainly worth taking a shot just to see what could happen.
