There was already no love lost between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints well before Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski signed on to play with the team, but now star pass rusher Cam Jordan is pouring even more fuel into the fire as training camp kicks off for the 2020 season.
Appearing on NFL Network on Monday morning, Jordan made sure to get a dig in that the Bucs are fighting for nothing more than second place behind the defending NFC South champs:
“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.”
The Saints have won three straight division titles, while Tampa Bay hasn’t finished a season atop the NFC South since 2007.
To be fair, these are not your same Bucs from years past after their additions this offseason.
The NFC South is going to be fun in 2020.
Bucs travel to New Orleans for Week 1 of the 2020 regular season.
