Tampa Bay Buccs - GM Edition


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the cusp of turning the corner and becoming a very good football team. This offseason, they will be in the perfect position to make some powerful moves that will make them a much better football team. The Buccs are in a very fortunate situation having their 3 franchise players, Jameis Winston, Mike Evans and Gerald McCoy locked up for the next 3+ years. There is no better time to go all in. The Buccs currently have $70M in cap space, good for third best cap situation in the league. They will obviously need to re-sign multiple players such as Tight End- Cameron Brate, Center- Joe Hawley, Safety- Bradley McDougald, Wide Receiver- Adam Humphries, Running Back -Jacquizz Rodgers and others as well as draft picks. With all the re-signs and draft picks, they should have roughly $33M left to spend which should be enough to lure in Free Agent Jason Pierre-Paul from the Giants who is estimated to collect $13-$15M annually. He would be an immediate upgrade to the defensive front, pairing him up with All Pro Defensive Tackle, Gerald McCoy. The spending should not stop there…The Buccs should then go after Free Agent Wide Receiver, DeSean Jackson, giving Jameis Winston a very dangerous Wide Receiver who can take the lid off the top of the defense, playing alongside one of the best young Wide Receivers in the game, Mike Evans. These are two moves that are very possible for the Buccs to make. Once these players are signed, the final piece would be to selecting Defensive tackle, Malik McDowell out of Michigan State if available. With proper cap management These moves are very possible.The Buccs would be stacked all around, making them an absolute force in the NFC, Period.
