Giovani Bernard could be a perfect fit with the Buccaneers for Tom Brady.

The Buccaneers still need a pass-catching running back to pair with Tom Brady in his second season in Tampa, and while the draft is a great place to find a proven option, targeting Giovani Bernard in free agency could be a safer decision.

Bernard was released from the Bengals today after eight productive seasons in Cincinnati. During that time and with varying workloads as a lead back and third-down back at various points, Bernard never finished a season with less than 30 receptions.
