NBA free agency has begun and unlocked another dimension of craziness; here are some of the wildest free agent signings in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history.
In honor of NBA free agency and all of the craziness that ensues taking off tonight, we have decided to take a trip down memory lane and look at the three wackiest free agent signings in the history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This year was fairly barren of splash signings due to the cap crunch the team found them in, but one does make the list.
In the past players like Vinny Curry, Ryan Jensen, Vincent Jackson, Jeff Garcia and more have signed big contracts with the Bucs. Here however, we seek to identify the wildest signings in franchise history based off of the fan reaction, player performance afterwards, and size of the deal.
Unfortunately, it has been a lot more of players leaving Tampa Bay than coming in, as players like wide receiver Adam Humphries and linebacker Kwon Alexander have left as recently as this offseason. Next year, the Buccaneers will see an increase in cap and we may see another spending spree next offseason.
Sadly the signing of punter Bradley Pinion or recent addition Josh LeRibeus do not carry the pop and punch to make the list. Here are the three most eye-popping free agent additions in the history of the Bucs.
