Hall of Famer and former Patriots running back Marshall Faulk appeared on the Rich Eisen Show to discuss the situation. He was asked about a potential NFL return for Edelman with the Buccaneers. Here’s what he said:
Faulk continued:
If the injuries don’t clear out quickly, there’s a real chance Edelman will get a call.
Why Tom Brady and the Buccaneers suddenly need wide receiver help
The Buccaneers opened the season with an all-time wide receiver trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones. Now, the latter two are banged up, with Godwin having missed time already this year. Evans is facing a one-game suspension for starting a brawl with Marshon Lattimore on Sunday. All of a sudden, there’s real potential for Tampa Bay to miss their top three wide receivers in an important early-season matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
That’s why they signed Cole Beasley, and why many are wondering if they’ll call Edelman. Tom Brady is great, but so far he hasn’t been able to paper over the cracks as well as he used to. Tampa Bay’s offense hasn’t looked as explosive as it has in recent years, something they need to recitfy fast.
With Godwin and Jones’ health in question, there’s a very real chance the Buccaneers will continue to add depth to their offense. With Brady at 45 years old, they are looking to win now, not next year. As a result, Edelman could be in the conversation.
