Tom Brady’s move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year was met with collective shock from the entire NFL fraternity. The veteran NFL quarterback decided to end his 20-year association with the Patriots in search of a new challenge. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved quickly to secure his signature ahead of the 2020 season. Tom Brady signed a two-year contract with the Bucs which is reportedly worth a total of $60 million.

While money might have been a motive, Brady is known for his competitive nature. He is not coming to Tampa Bay for one big paycheck before he can end his career. The six-time Super Bowl winner will be looking to add to that tally playing alongside Mike Evans, OJ Howard, Chris Godwin, and of course, Rob Gronkowski.

They’ve got the second-greatest quarterback, Cameron Jordan takes a dig at Tom Brady

On a recent segment of GMFB, Cameron Jordan took a cheeky dig at Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay franchise. He even called Brady the league’s “second-best quarterback’ behind New Orleans” veteran Drew Brees.

“But I do know we have to step up our game, we’ve got to elevate. They’ve got the second-greatest quarterback of all-time, right behind Drew Brees, and now we’ve got a head-to-head two times a year.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us and then they have an addition, you bring in Rob Gronkowski and LeSean McCoy, you already had two 1,000-yard receivers in (Chris) Godwin and Mike Evans. This is a team that’s fighting for second place,” Jordan said on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.

The Saints have been the top-ranked NFC South team for three years running. However, they always seem to falter in the playoffs. New Orleans will go up against the Buccaneers in Week One of this year’s NFL schedule. It will be interesting to see how a stable line-up featuring Jordan, Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, and Alvin Kamara fare against Tom Brady and his young band of speedsters.
