The Seattle Seahawks are another team "in the mix" for Brown, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, but he reports the Buccaneers are the favorites to land the former All-Pro wideout.

Brown was signed by the New England Patriots in September of 2019 and played one game with Brady -- a Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins -- before being released by the team before its Week 3 matchup last season.

Second-year wideout Scotty Miller also has emerged as a reliable target and ranks second on the team in receiving yards this season.

If Brown is able to do that and play a meaningful role for the Bucs, Brady's offense is going to be very difficult to slow down.
