2. Not pursuing any other big names

The Buccaneers didn’t have enough cap space to pursue many other big names, but going back to our previous slide: What if they had saved the money hit of Rob Gronkowski’s contract?

You could’ve brought in a name like Byron Jones, D.J. Reader, Melvin Gordon, and others.

Maybe the Bucs could’ve made a trade for Jamal Adams to strengthen their defensive backfield. There just are a lot of options on the table.

Though it’s not entirely in their control and they made the move they best thought, there will always be a ton of ‘what-ifs’ in terms of what you could’ve added to this roster if the Buccaneers end up falling short of the ultimate goal.
