Atlanta Falcons WR Russell Gage intends to sign with Tampa Bay Buccaneers, source says

Russell Gage will remain in the NFC South next season but will be catching passes from Tom Brady instead of Matt Ryan.

The free-agent receiver intends to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

With no Antonio Brown, the Bucs had a drop-off at the No. 3 receiver spot last season behind Pro Bowlers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, which became very apparent after Brown's dismissal from the team and Godwin's season-ending knee injury. Tyler Johnson did not flash and had some struggles at times when taking on a bigger workload.
