Julian Edelman Posts April Fool’s Joke Announcing He’s Signed With Buccaneers

It’s been an interesting offseason for the Buccaneers, to say the least.

From Tom Brady’s “un-retirement” to Todd Bowles’s promotion following Bruce Arians’s move to the front office, Tampa Bay has been a hotbed for jaw-dropping headlines. The “reported signing” of Julian Edelman, however, does not fall under that category.

The former Patriots receiver, who has been retired since last April, posted a rather believable graphic announcing the move on Friday. The only thing is, Edelman’s suspiciously-timed post quickly lost its luster once people took note of the asterisk at the bottom of the graphic and realized… today is April Fool’s Day.
