2. Saquon Barkley to the Bucs to play with Tom Brady

Of all the teams mentioned on our list, this is probably going to be the least favorite for Big Blue supporters. The Bucs were another squad mentioned this offseason and no one, I mean no one wants to see this happen. Tom Brady is public enemy No. 1 in East Rutherford and the fact that the G-Men beat him in the Super Bowl twice will never be forgotten.

Now, imagine Tampa Bay trades for Barkley and then he goes on to help TB12 win his eighth Super Bowl. Yeah, we’re going to have to go ahead and pass on that one. At the end of the day, though, this is expected to be Brady’s last season in the NFL and Tampa Bay must help him out to try and send the GOAT out in style with one final ring.

Leonard Fournette is averaging four yards per carry, but he’s not the kind of explosive playmaker that’s going to get this offense to take down other powers in the league. The Tampa Bay offense looked sluggish in its 14-12 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. Adding someone like Barkley could please a lot of fans, plus Brady too.
