Buccaneers Restructure Cameron Brate's Deal
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers restructured tight end Cameron Brate's contract in order to keep him around. Brate was due to make $6 million in 2020, with $4 million of that being guaranteed on Sunday. He has scored 27 touchdowns with the team in the last five years, including four touchdowns in 2019 on 36 receptions for 311 yards in 16 games (six starts). He should be a key red-zone weapon for quarterback Tom Brady in 2020, but his fantasy ceiling will be limited as long as O.J. Howard is around. As long as he's sharing tight end duties, he's unlikely to match his high-water mark of 57 catches for 660 yards and eight touchdowns in 2016. Brate will be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2.
