Buccaneers: 3 reasons signing Clay Matthews is the next move
1. Building for the future
There is no risk in bringing Matthews in on a cheap one-year deal, but there is a potential reward much greater than what can be seen in 2020.
The value of bringing a veteran like Matthews into your franchise has to do with the leadership he can provide and the ability to teach that he possesses.
Matthews is a guy who can help mentor linebackers like Jason Pierre-Paul and even Shaquil Barrett.
Those guys have potential to turn into All-Pro level players and having a veteran like Clay Matthews around- who has done it and knows how to win- would be very beneficial.
Signing Clay Matthews won’t bring the excitement that it would’ve brought a half-decade ago, but the veteran can still provide value through his on-the-field and off-the-field presence in the locker room during the 2020 season.
