The veteran wide receiver made eight catches last season and scored a touchdown in Super Bowl. But he isn't Tom Brady's top target in Tampa Bay.

Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are the Bucs' wideout starters. Rob Gronkowski, Bradys friend, is at tight end and is a major threat through the air. Scotty Miller is entering his third season in the league.
Brown, who was fired in New England and Pittsburgh by the Pats because a woman claimed he sent her text messages she found frightening after she had accused him two years earlier of unwelcome sexual advances. Last year, he pleaded not guilty to felony burglary and battery before joining the Bucs for the championship run. All of this is without mentioning the fact that he settled a sexual assault and rape lawsuit brought by his former trainer.
It was a disaster when Tampa Bay decided that Brown would be the one to walk the red carpet.
Brown repeatedly punched Chris Jackson, the Tennessee cornerback, at a joint practice session with the Titans. Jackson had been holding Brown. This is a perfectly normal reaction to something that's worth a five yard penalty.
Brown, at 33 years old, is an expendable fourth receiver for any team. Are the Bucs able to find a replacement for Brown among their training camp cuts? Perhaps a coaching staff capable of building up a young star? Who is the supposed greatest quarterback ever? They can then, and should tell Brown to go for a hike before Brady goes on his next hike.
After consulting with an ex-Green Beret on respectful ways of protesting racism police officers, it is possible for a quarterback to be labeled a distraction by silently kneeling during the national anthem.
