As Tampa Bay moves forward following Tom Brady's recent NFL retirement, Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has been left with the task of finding the next signal caller to lead the franchise.
When asked if the team would consider trading for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson on Tuesday, Arians told reporters that decision would be made solely by the organization.
“It would strictly be organizational sign-off,” Arians said. “I’ve known the kid for a long time. I’m shocked he’s in the situation. But it would be a strict organizational sign-off.”
The idea for Watson to potentially lead the franchise comes less than a week after ESPN's Chris Mortensen contemplated the idea in conjunction with Arians putting his support behind Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
