Weapons for Winston

If you take a look at the current Bucs roster, the glaring need they currently have and need to address this offseason is supplying more weapons for Jameis Winston. The Bucs will head into this offseason with the third largest amount of cap room in the league.

Not only should they consider another weapon at the tight end position outside of Cameron Brate but it is quite obvious the Bucs need a true number two receiver. Mike Evans is an elite talent in this league, but smart teams have learned to game plan around him to limit his play. Adam Humphries is a great receiver but he is no more than a slot man and behind him the talent level drops quite significantly. Whether finding a new receiver is done through the draft or free agency, it needs to be addressed. It would be a good bet that Jason Licht has this on the top of his New Year’s resolutions.
