Antonio Brown would 'love' to return to Buccaneers next season

Antonio Brown joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of the 2020 season after serving an eight-game suspension. He made a significant impact with the franchise, and now he wants a chance to play with Tom Brady a little longer. 

The 32-year-old admitted after the Buccaneers' 31-9 Super Bowl LV win over the Kansas City Chiefs that he would "love" to return to Tampa Bay in 2021. 

"Man I'd love to, I look forward to going through the process, this is a great spot for me and I would love to come back and give it another shot at a 2-peat," Brown said, according to Pro Football Talk. "I would love to be back here next year. It would mean everything to be back. I'm just excited and super grateful."

In eight regular-season games, Brown had 45 catches for 483 yards and four touchdowns. He instantly became one of Brady's favorite targets. 

The former Pittsburgh Steeler had three receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games before the Super Bowl. He missed the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers due to a knee injury, but returned for the Super Bowl and caught five passes for 22 yards and a touchdown. 

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Buccaneers want Brown back next season. However, it's unclear how much interest he'll draw around the league. The Bucs also have several other free agents to re-sign, including Shaq Barrett, Rob Gronkowski, Lavonte David, Chris Godwin and Ndamukong Suh.
