5 players the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should have never let walk

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are notorious for spending money in free agency, but not on their own grown talent. Here are five players they should have kept.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been known for being historically aggressive in free agency, signing the likes of DeSean Jackson, Vinny Curry, Chris Baker, and Simeon Rice. They have also, however, let a fair share of quality players walk to other teams when they hit the open market as well.

This year alone, the Buccaneers could not afford to match the offers that linebacker Kwon Alexander and wide receiver Adam Humphries received from the San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans respectively. They may regret letting these two players walk, but have done well to replace them on a budget this offseason as well.

Throughout history, there are players that have gone on to win Super Bowls, been named to Pro Bowls and as All-Pros after they left Tampa Bay. These are the players that the Buccaneers regret letting hit the open market or regret dealing them away.

From the 70s, 80s, and all the way to the 2010s, there are a handful of players who could have helped the Buccaneers win more than just their lone Super Bowl. Here are five players the Buccaneers should have never parted ways with and should have kept in the pewter and red.
