All eyes will be on Tom Brady heading into the 2020 season as the veteran quarterback will suit up for a team other than the New England Patriots for the first time in his professional career. This offseason, Brady made the shocking move to sign a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is after leading the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins in his nearly two decades as the team's starter.
However, while it may be weird to see Brady in a different uniform, the real question is, how well will he do in Tampa Bay? Well, according to Caesars Sportsbook in Las Vegas, the veteran QB is expected to throw for just over 4,000 yards next season.
More specifically, Vegas odds have Brady's passing yard total over/under at 4,099.5. Last season in New England, Brady threw for 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight touchdowns.
While Brady's yardage total still put him in the top 10 in the NFL last season, 4,057 yards was his lowest 16-game total since 2010. And while it appears Brady still has plenty left in the tank, he did show some slight signs of aging and will be 43 years old by the start of next season.
On the other hand, Brady joins a Tampa Bay offense with significantly more weapons in the passing game than he had last year in New England. The Bucs have a duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin who combined for 2,490 yards by themselves.
Additionally, the former Patriots QB will have a solid young tight end in O.J. Howard as well as his former teammate and former All-Pro Rob Gronkowski who came out of retirement to re-join Brady in Tampa Bay.
Lastly, under head coach Bruce Arians, Jameis Winston was second in the NFL in passing attempts. So it's clear that Arians favors the passing game over the run, which should work in Brady's favor.
