I’m sure you’ve heard the news but AB is back in the league.
Antonio Brown’s one-year deal with Tampa has a max value of $2.5 million, per source. It includes a $750,000 bonus for a Super Bowl win, and three $250,000 bonuses — one for receptions, one for yards and one for TDs. The remaining $1 million is in base salary and roster bonuses.
$1 million seems to be like a bargain. It’s even worse once you realize how much money he’s lost over the past 18 months.
From a three-year deal worth up to $54.125M with the Raiders to a one-year deal worth up to $15M with the Patriots to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5M with the Buccaneers for Antonio Brown in a year and a half. https://t.co/jthGaK1lQi
Quite the 180 turn from Bruce Arians’ quote about signing Brown earlier this spring.
Bruce Arians originally was't interested in bringing AB to Tampa, but changed his mind due to injuries in the Bucs WR corps.@JayGlazer breaks down how the move happened: pic.twitter.com/i5wruSo1EA
A lot of folks think this is the final piece for a Bucs offense that already seems unstoppable. Currently the Bucs rank third in the league averging 31.7 points per game.
The obvious answer is that AB is a HOF talent and can still be a top playmaker but is the potential chemistry issues worth it? The offense is doing fine and your defense is a top-ten unit. Surely you can survive a few weeks with a banged up receiving group. Establish the run then play-actoin to Gronk and Evans and you’ll be okay.
