Tom Brady-Stephon Gilmore reunion in the works?

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers could use to help to their battered secondary.

So far, the Buca are surviving. But it’s become apparent that the defense isn’t as dominant as it was last season, and a large part of that has to do with some injuries.

Stephon Gilmore wouldn’t be a fix-all for the Buccaneers, but it’s not a bad idea for the team to continue to stockpile talented players.

Make the call Tom.
