Will Tom Brady, Antonio Brown team up for Buccaneers in 2020?

Now that former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly signing a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will he take one of his good friends with him?

It's been known for a while now that Brady wants to share the field with wide receiver Antonio Brown again, and Tampa Bay could be his opportunity to do that.

Although it would be a terrific opportunity for Brown, he has yet to be reinstated by the NFL following multiple sexual assault allegations that saw him cut from the Patriots in September. Many teams that were in on the Brady sweepstakes were under the impression Brady wanted Brown to join him, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Just mentioned on @nflnetwork: The NFL says Antonio Brown’s status remains under review. If he’s cleared to play, would the #Bucs sign him? Other suitors were under the impression Tom Brady wanted AB to come with him. It’d give Brady a WR group of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and AB.

With Brown's reinstatement up in the air, could Brady have asked his suitors to sign Brown when he's able to return to football? It's possible, especially considering their relationship seems to be very strong.

If Brown is able to join Brady in Tampa Bay, he'll have one of the most talented receiving corps he's seen in years.

Brown, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and O.J. Howard would give Brady the offensive weapons he didn't get in New England over the past few seasons. You can also add running back Ronald Jones II to that list as well.

While many NFL fans think Brady can't lead the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl appearance, his reputation and the talent he'll have in Tampa Bay beg to differ.
