Tampa Bay Buccaneers seeks trading options while keeping doors open for Tom Brady
Keeping Brady’s return on the table, Bucs have continued their search for a star QB. As per rumors, quarterbacks such as Aaron Rodgers, Jameis Winston, and Russell Wilson remain the most desired. Bucs have already made plans to explore trade options for Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson following their “extensive homework” on them.
However, Wilson did not show any interest in trade during his SiriusXM interview, in which he stated, “hope and goal is to be back (in Seattle) and keep winning there.” But, the same cannot be said for Watson. The three-time Pro Bowler has been in dispute with the Houston Texans the entire 2021 season. He even openly advocated his desires to leave the franchise and might even be a good trade for the Bucs.
