3 trade deadline deals Tampa Bay Buccaneers should consider
By Cory Kinnan
Head coach Bruce Arians has stated he plans on winning in 2019; if this is truly the case, here are three trade targets the Buccaneers could pursue.
The trade deadline is at 4 p.m. today, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have tons of holes on their roster to fill. While the team, sitting at 2-5 and a roster full of aging vets (despite being the second youngest team in the league), should enter into a rebuild and be selling at the deadline, that is highly unlikely given head coach Bruce Arians’ recent comments.
Arians is a firm believer that this team can win and compete in 2019 despite losing three straight games and heading into Seattle to take on the Seahawks this Sunday. While they should be stockpiling picks for the future, the Bucs are more than likely going to stand pat as the trade deadline comes and goes.
However, if they do decide to acquire talent and go all in on the 2019 season, there are a few players available that could come at a relatively cheap price for the pewter and red. In the past general manager Jason Licht has not been afraid to offload draft picks for proven talent; while Arians now seems more in charge of personnel than Licht does, we could still see this happening.
Here are three players the Bucs could acquire for a relatively cheap price should they decide to make a deadline move.
