Re-sign: LB Kwon Alexander
Tampa Bay has a tough decision to make with Kwon Alexander‘s future. The former fourth-round pick is set to hit unrestricted free agency. But he is coming off of a torn ACL, which could make them hesitant to cough up serious money to bring him back.
Although the injury may be a red flag, the Bucs should still try their hardest to bring Alexander back. He has been a tackling machine since his rookie season and has been a reliable sidekick for former All-Pro Lavonte David.
Despite only playing in six games last season, Alexander made 45 tackles, forced two fumbles and had six tackles for loss.
His performance over the past four seasons should garner him an extension. He is crucial for the Tampa Bay defense as their on-field play-caller. Whoever the next head coach or defensive coordinator should want to keep a player like Alexander.
He has some sway in the locker room, he produces and has just shy of a decade of football left in him at only 24 years old.
