One free agent each NFL team should sign in 2019
Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Duane Brown
By the time this happens, Tampa Bay could have an entirely new coaching staff, but an a new offensive core. This team will still go as Jameis Winston and Mike Evans ago. And given the state of the offensive line the last few years, it’s amazing those two have been as productive as they have been early in their careers.
The Buccaneers don’t project to have much cap space (they’re about $1 million over the cap right now), but can save about $14 million if they cut Jason Pierre-Paul. That should free up enough space to get a player like Brown.
Will Seattle pay a player who will turn 34 in August of 2019? That’s the question that will determine whether or not this kind of move can happen. Brown can still play, but will he hit the open market? If he does, Brown makes sense for a Bucs team desperate to protect Winston and get this offense on track with better blocking up front.
