3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers who could be traded during the draft

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers attempt to clear cap space and potential gather more draft assets, here are three players who could be traded during the draft.

The 2019 NFL Draft is now less than one week away, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have seven draft picks. Should the Buccaneers look to add more draft assets on draft day or to move up in the draft, they have valuable assets on their roster who could become trade pawns.

Draft day trades are a part of what makes the NFL Draft such a thrilling event, especially on the opening Thursday night. In certain scenarios, teams will bundle players with picks in order to smooth over a deal and secure a trade up or trade down. Teams will also look to add later draft assets, usually in the fourth round and beyond, by shipping out players currently on the roster for a pick.

Due to the salary cap situation in Tampa Bay, the team could look to move a couple bigger contracts, while replacing them with players on rookie deals as well. In addition, the Buccaneers have a handful of players that are on the last year of their rookie contracts that could be on the move under this new coaching staff. Here are three players currently on the Buccaneers roster who could be part of a trade during the draft.
