NFL analyst worried for Tom Brady and the Bucs: "They're going to have a guy who Bill Belichick was fine getting rid of"

Quarterback Tom Brady came out of retirement and committed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for one more season. He won a Super Bowl in his first season with the team, but crashed out in the divisional round last season. Heading into his 23rd season in the NFL, this will likely be his last shot at another Lombardi Trophy.

On "Pro Football Talk Live with Mike Florio", analyst Peter King discussed why he's concerned about Brady and the Buccaneers this season. King highlighted how the Bucs have offensive line woes and stated that it's concerning that Brady's former coach, Bill Belichick, was fine with releasing guard Shaq Mason, who the Bucs recently picked up and plan on playing.

King said:

"I think the biggest thing right now is, when you watch this team this year, they went from having a solid offensive line in front of him (Brady) to now probably a rookie at left guard.

"They're going to have a guy who Bill Belichick was fine getting rid of, Shaq Mason, starting at right guard. And they're going to have a guy who never has started a game at center in his life."

King added that the Bucs O-line won't be the same without Ryan Jensen, Alex Cappa, and Ali Marpet.

"Robert Hainsey, who, by the way, has had a very good camp, but he's banged up a little now, starting at center. And you've got a guy at right tackle Tristan Wirfs maybe the best right tackle in football who's nursing an oblique injury.

"So you've gone from having basically a really, really good interior of Ryan Jensen, Alex Cappa and Ali Marpet. They're all gone. And now it's rookie guys who've never started before, guy you got in trade and a guy over here who may not be 100%. That is what I worry about with Tom Brady."

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be challenged by the New Orleans Saints for the division crown this year

New Orleans Saints v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last season was the first time in five years that the Saints didn't win the NFC North. New Orleans won the division from 2017-2020, before placing second last season behind the Buccaneers, who finished 13-4.

One reason why the Saints didn't perform to expectations was because quarterback Jameis Winston went down early on with a torn ACL.

The Saints were also without star wideout Michael Thomas, who missed all of last season rehabbing injuries.

This year, they'll be healthier with both Thomas and Winston, while adding key players Jarvis Landry, Tyrann Mathieu, and Chris Olave in the offseason.
