5. Bradley Roby, Houston Texans

Next on the list is the former first round pick by the Denver Broncos back in 2014 and now current Houston Texan Bradley Roby. After signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Texans this offseason, Roby is set to hit the market once again.

Looking for a balance of cost effectiveness, veteran presence, and on-field performance, Roby could give the Bucs a good blend of all, but not elite play. So far in his sixth season in the league, Roby has tallied a score of 67.1 according to PFF; he has recorded four passes defended and a forced fumble through six games in Houston this year.

There are certainly better options than Roby out there for the Bucs to pursue, but they could also do far worse than the former Ohio State standout as well. Still relatively young and his slightly above average play, Roby could be in line for another moderately sized deal this offseason; the Bucs could certainly afford a deal between $8-10 million on a short term agreement to land his services.

With that being said, Roby lands in the middle of the list of cornerbacks for the Bucs to pursue in free agency in the 2020 offseason.
