The offseason has already been productive for the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay, but the GM Jason Licht may not be finished with the training camp approaching. Licht is known for its fireworks at the end of the summer. The smoke signals are already there this year: an cornerstone of a extended franchise, a potential blockbuster trade in progress and a signature of splash on the defense.
Mike Evans: Locked for life
Let’s start with the news of well-being. Mike Evans is the greatest player in Bucs history and one of the most coherent receivers that the League has ever seen. Licht could make him official this spring, locking Evans with a multi -year agreement which will probably keep him in tin and red until his retirement, because he should be a free agent at the end of this season and plays some of his best football. It’s more than a football movement, it’s a heritage. The team sends a message: loyalty questions, and BUCs always believe that they can win with No. 13 at the top of the load.
Trey Hendrickson Heating exchange?
Now, here is where it becomes spicy: Trey Hendrickson. The Bengal edge rusher would be unhappy with its contractual situation, and Cincinnati could be open to move it before the camp. Hendrickson would be a huge get for Tampa Bay, adding a tried threat to Rush opposite Yaya Diaby and putting pressure on Vita Vea and Calijah Kancey inside. Licht has already succeeded in surprise professions (Shaq Mason, Rob Gronkowski, etc.), so do not crush a daring decision if the price is correct.
Signature of Justin Simmons: leadership of veterans in secondary
As if the defense of BUCs was not already responsible for potential, Licht could further strengthen the secondary by signing the security of Pro Bowl, Justin Simmons. Recently in Atlanta, Simmons still has a lot of juice and could thrive in the aggressive and versatile system of Todd Bowles. With Antoine Winfield Jr. locked himself up as one of the best security in the league, associating him with a ballhawk as Simmons would give BUCs the best security tandem. This decision would not improve defense, it would increase the football Qi from the whole back of the defense.
