Bucs' 53-man roster projection includes lots of help for Tom Brady

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open training camp on July 28 at the Advent Health Training Center in Tampa, Florida. They missed the playoffs after going 7-9 last season, but they return all 11 starters on defense (and 86.9% of defensive snaps, second in the NFL) and eight on offense. One of the new starters on offense is quarterback Tom Brady, who has two returning 1,000-yard receivers at his new digs. He also has been joined by a certain tight end with whom he is familiar. Here's a 53-man projection.


QUARTERBACK (3): Tom Brady, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Griffin

Brady will start, with Gabbert continuing to serve as a backup after missing all of last season with a dislocated shoulder. Look for the Bucs to keep a third quarterback, with the possibility this player will be quarantined throughout the season due to the pandemic.
