The New Guy
After losing Jackson and Humphries in via trade and free agency, the Buccaneers struck a deal with former first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens Breshad Perriman. While Perriman struggled with injuries and drops throughout his time in Baltimore, he seemed to finally put it together for the Cleveland Browns last season.
Catching passes from 2018 first overall pick Baker Mayfield, Perriman managed to tally a statline of 340 yards and two scores on 16 catches, averaging over 21 yards per reception. What makes this statline even more impressive is Perriman saw only 25 targets last season and made the most of his limited playing time and posted incredible efficiency.
Perriman was set to return to Cleveland on a one-year deal, but the day he struck an agreement with the team, they traded for superstar Odell Beckham Jr. just hours later. The Browns and Perriman then mutually decided to opt against the offer where the Bucs scooped him up.
Perriman is likely to fill the deep threat role Jackson has played over the past two seasons, and the Buccaneers may have found a good one with him for just $4 million on a one-year deal. If Perriman, his 6-2 and 215 pound frame, and his 4.3 40 speed can stay healthy in 2019, then his numbers could take another jump this year catching deep shots from Winston.
