4 former Rams weapons Liam Coen could target for Buccaneers in free agency
By Josh Hill
Ever since being locked in as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers new offensive coordinator, it seems Liam Coen hasn't stopped trying to put his stamp on things.
He said all the right stuff about Baker Mayfield but has also gotten to work building out his staff with coaches who seem ready to help the Bucs offense evolve. Most recently he added his former assistant at Kentucky, Brian Picucci, to rebuild the offensive line and hired Georgia's Bryan McClendon to be his wide receivers coach.
Adding elements of high-profile college staffs -- both from the SEC, no less -- feels like the type of thing that will help move Tampa Bay in the right direction. If Coen is already dipping into his NCAA contacts to build out his staff, logic would suggest he might do the same with former Los Angeles Rams players once free agency opens and the Bucs start looking at ways to improve the roster.
4 offensive weapons Buccaneers could target in free agency
Darrell Henderson, RB
There aren't a ton of former Rams weapons who overlapped with Coen and are realistic targets, but Darrell Henderson is at least worth a conversation.
Whether or not it's a long one is open for interpretation.
Tampa Bay had a chance to add Henderson last season when the Rams waived him in November but decided against the idea. It was the same decision that 30 other teams made as well, with Henderson ending up back on Los Angeles' practice squad shortly after being waived. He was formally released after Christmas and will enter free agency looking to find a team that can help him tap back into the potential he showed early on with the Rams.
Henderson is comparable to Chase Edmonds, as both are shorter running backs who complement Rachaad White's role and style in the offense. The problem is that Edmonds is already familiar with the system and might be worth bringing back instead of Henderson. That being said, if Coen is bringing a similar offense to what was run in LA, then it could make sense to bring in Henderson not unlike how Dave Canales brought over David Moore from Seattle.
It's a long shot, though, but perhaps he ends up with the Bucs for training camp to see what happens from there.
