Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Who will backup Jameis Winston in 2019?

With Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Griffin set to hit free agency, who will back up Jameis Winston for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

One thing for certain next season is that Jameis Winston is the locked and loaded starting quarterback for head coach Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the question remains: who will back up the former first overall pick? With both Ryan Griffin and Fitzpatrick set to hit free agency, the Bucs will be in the market for a solid number two.

Last season we saw Ryan Fitzpatrick start the first four games of the season due to a three game suspension for Winston coupled with exciting play from Fitzpatrick and company. After a winning over the locker room and the fans Fitzpatrick was granted another game as starter before eventually coming back to reality and showing us why he’s a journeyman and served as the backup to Winston.

This upcoming season is make or break for Winston and his future as a Buccaneer after a rocky start for the former number one overall pick in the 2015 draft. Although Winston is firmly the starting quarterback, it’s always a good thing to have a reliable backup in case of emergency. There are a ton of quality arms on the market that can be had for a good price; which could we see the Bucs pursue this offseason?
