Vital trades that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to make
By Rob Leeds
The Buccaneers need to make these trades before the start of the 2020 NFL season to help put the team in the best position possible.
Before anyone gets too far ahead of themselves, the opportunity has likely come and gone for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to make any blockbuster trades before the start of the season.
Trading for players like Jamal Adams or trading away O.J. Howard garnered some traction earlier in the year, but at this point, there are fewer feasible options for moves to make.
The Bucs are constrained by two things: cap space and available roster spots.
Tampa Bay already has dwindling cap space and still needs to finish signing their new rookies to deals before they can start to look elsewhere.
In addition to the lack of available funds, the Buccaneers do have a mostly-completed roster. As it stands, there appear to be very few positions that are up in the air for a starting job at the moment, and the Bucs don’t want to invest too much money in players that are long shots to start.
Regardless of the potential impact during the upcoming season, the Buccaneers should make the following trades to bolster the roster in preparation for the future.
