Buccaneers Officially
Re-Sign WR Antonio Brown
To One-Year Deal
Antonio Brown is offi- cially back on the Buccaneers.
The veteran wideout passed his physical and signed the agreement he reached with the team last month, NFL Net- work's Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported. Tampa Bay later confirmed the move. As Garafolo and Pelissero previously re- ported, the one-year deal is worth up to $6.25 million, with $3.1 million fully guaranteed and a $2 million signing bonus.
The Bucs got their money's worth from A.B. last year. After signing for a shade over the league minimum halfway through the season, the former All-Pro caught 45 passes for 483 yards and four touch- downs. He also caught a TD in Tampa's Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.
Brown underwent success- ful knee surgery last week,

which is expected to keep him out a few weeks. General man- ager Jason Licht recently noted Brown's health is not a concern and that the delayed signing was part of the plan all along amid the scheduled knee procedure.
Jon Gruden Is Among
Favorites To Become First
NFL Head Coach Fired In 2021
It was announced on Tues- day that it has betting odds on the first NFL head coach to be fired in 2021 ... and Las Vegas coach Jon Gruden is one of the favorites to get axed first.
Gruden is ranked at 10-1 to be the first NFL coach to be fired. It’s the fourth lowest (best bet) behind Mike Mc- Carthy of the Dallas Cowboys (15/2), Vic Fangio of the Denver Broncos (8-1), and Matt Nagy of the Chicago Bears (17-2).
Things like this show that some folks just don’t get the Mark Davis-Jon Gruden relationship. It would be a complete shock if Davis fires Gruden during or after the 2021 season unless the Raiders are a two to four win team without any major injuries.
It’s likely just not going to happen. Gruden is Davis’ guy. The Raiders’ owner wants Gruden to complete the 10-

year, $100 million contract he gave him in 2018. Gruden came to the playoff bound Raiders and dismantle the team by getting rid of star Khalid Mack and Amari Cooper. The team missed the playoffs every year under Gru- den.
