It only took (checks notes) nearly 15 weeks, but hey, better late than never, I guess? I'm talking about the opportunity of seeing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top-4 receivers in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan together and on the field during a regular season game.

I'm sure some folks are still trying to wrap their heads around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Jason Pierre Paul reunion and it's not because it's viewed as a bad move, or anything.
