Even after adding an interior offensive lineman a week ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be done as the right guard position must be filled.

Yesterday the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed veteran interior offensive lineman Josh LeRibeus, who was a mini-camp tryout that they decided to keep around. LeRibeus joins a competition for a roster spot with Evan Smith and Earl Watford as a potential plug and play starter when needed.

ESPN’s Jenna Laine, however, stated that she would not be surprised to see the Buccaneers make yet another move at the interior of their offensive line. Why? Well, last year’s third round pick and presumed starter at right guard has not developed as much as the team would have liked to this point, and he may not be ready to go week one.

This news comes after the Buccaneers decided to pass on selecting an interior offensive lineman to fill the void left when last year’s starter Caleb Benenoch, after a bad season in 2018, has been moved to right tackle. In retrospect now, the Buccaneers may have considered drafting one if they had the chance to go back in time.

If the Buccaneers do decided to add another lineman to the interior of their line, it would be someone who could presumably start. This late into free agency it would have to be an older veteran still on the market or via trade. Here are three potential interior lineman that the Buccaneers could look to add prior to the 2019 season.
