Free agents that have been linked to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
By Rob Leeds
Even though free agency is mostly over for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that doesn’t stop the rumors about potential free agents from spreading.
The odds are almost entirely against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers making any more big free agents signings. Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have already been more than anyone would’ve expected this time last year.
Even though the odds are long, that hasn’t stopped rumors from flying during this offseason. Numerous players have been linked to Tampa Bay, often based on speculation alone, but that doesn’t mean that all of these claims are entirely baseless.
The best thing going for the Bucs right now is their status in the limelight. Every free agent in the league that remains has probably given Tampa Bay some thought, and the allure of being on one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL could bring some unique names to the table.
On the other hand, despite some of the perceived realism behind these signings, there seems to be little chance that they will happen in the end, but at this point, Bucs fans shouldn’t be quick to rule anything out as impossible after the offseason that they’ve put together.
Regardless of realism or not, these players have been linked to joining the Buccaneers in one way or another and are still available.
