The blockbuster relocation of veteran quarterback Tom Brady from New England to Tampa Bay has caught the attention of the entire league. NFC South division rival New Orleans Saints were quick to take notes on their counterparts' offseason moves.
Cornerback Janoris Jenkins shared his opinion on a video interview with Good Morning Football on Twitter:

The 2016 Pro Bowler tallied 60 solo tackles, 5 interceptions to go with 16 passes defended through 15 games played in 2019. He will continue to serve as a major contributor in the defensive line of his team.
The Saints seem to have eased their way to clinch the division title last season with an impressive 13-3 record. They have maintained a safe distance with second placer Atlanta Falcons following behind on a 7-9 record. The Saints went on to compete in the playoffs but fell to an upset scored by the Minnesota Vikings on their home turf in New Orleans.
With some changes, things may look different come the 2020 season. The 7-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reloaded their arsenal with the acquisition of Tom Brady and the looming return of long-time pal Rob Gronkowski. Jenkins will also have his hands full on defending the dangerous tandem of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
On the other hand, the New Orleans Saints also made some moves of their own. Reliable quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went on to take his talents to another division rival in the Carolina Panthers. The Saints answered back with the acquisition of former Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.
There will definitely be a dogfight for division supremacy in the NFC South.
