The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have superstar quarterback Tom Brady under center for two seasons, and there was talk of Antonio Brown being a package deal. Still, head coach Bruce Arians isn't having it, according to NFL reporter Dov Kleiman.
News: Even though he expressed interest in joining them, the #Buccaneers will *not* sign All-Pro WR Antonio Brown.
Bruce Arians confirmed.

Ever since the Patriots parted ways with Brown last year after he played only one game with the team, the veteran wide receiver has been out of control as he deals with a troubled life off the field and teams wanting no part of him on it. The superstar wideout has been unable to convince any team in the league to resurrect his Hall-of-Fame-caliber career, and now he won't get the reunion with Brady that he has wanted since his playing career came to an abrupt halt.
With the Buccaneers passing on the opportunity to sign Brown and for good reason considering the fact they already have two of the league's elite at the position, Brown is left to search for another franchise to give him another chance.
Although Brown was arguably the best player in the NFL at wide receiver before his career went into a downward spiral, the fact that he has become a constant problem off the gridiron has teams unwilling to take the gamble on bringing him in for the 2020 campaign.
It remains to be seen whether Brown will ultimately get an opportunity in this league and which team is willing to take the risk. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that he lands with a team before the start of the upcoming season, but it is also just likely that he remains unemployed.
