The Facts: As of Tuesday morning, nothing new had transpired regarding the Bucs and Brown, the team's only prominent free agent who remains unsigned.
Diehards Line:
Late last week, HC Bruce Arians told WDAE 620-AM the chances of Brown returning in 2021 are "okay," and history shows that talks can turn on a dime in the NFL's bizarre alternate universe. But for now, there are no signs of an imminent deal. Nor is there any indication Brown will get a significant salary hike if he does re-sign. That said, his other options seem sketchy. Reports recently surfaced indicating Russell Wilson would be interested in bringing Brown aboard as another weapon in the Seahawks offense. Additionally, if teams itching for a receiver don't get what they're seeking in the upcoming draft, a market could be created for Brown. Meantime, any play for Brown in the bay area is taking a long time to develop. Perhaps too long.
