Blame it on the Buccaneers mini-bye, but I’ve come up with something of a diabolical round table for your reading enjoyment this week.

While the Buccaneers are hard at work figuring out things like schemes, game plans, and adjustments, we here at The Pewter Plank have been figuring out our own list of problems.

Specifically, how to deconstruct the future of this team with three impactful moves.

We’ve all played a similar form of this game in one shape or another, and now, we’re bringing it to our Bucs writers.

Trade one, cut one, and release one.

In this case, it isn’t so much release as just identify as the guy they’d let go – immediately or just when the contract runs out – in our fun scenario.

For this, we’re starting with the offense, and the candidates are Jameis Winston, Mike Evans, and Doug Martin.

Each writer has been presented this premise. They each had to come up with their selections and reasons why they’d trade, cut, release each of these three players.

No bye’s here, only forced decisions on some of their favorite Buccaneers players.

Enjoy!
