4. Daryl Williams, Carolina Panthers

Could you imagine poaching a tackle from a division rival? This offseason the Carolina Panthers’ offensive tackle Daryl Williams is set to hit the open market after five years with the baby blue and silver.

While he does not have a significant history with injury, Williams did miss all but one game last year for the Panthers. This, however, is an outlier in the equation as he has missed just three total games before last season.

Williams has started all six games for the Panthers thus far in 2019, and it is evident that he is recovering from a significant injury as he has not played quite up to his usual self. For a former fourth round pick, Williams has made quite the career out of himself, earning a one-year extension this offseason from California despite missing practically the whole season.

He could be a bit more on the pricey end of the spectrum, but Williams, at just the age of 28, may be well worth the investment of the Buccaneers; stealing a solid tackle from a division rival alone could be worth a look for the pewter and red. Keep an eye on Williams as he is set to hit the open market after the 2019 season comes to a close.
