Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bruce Arians has taken over as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach following a 5-11 2018 season. Cap space is at a premium for the Bucs, so it may be a challenge to bring in any big-time free agents.

Aaron Lynch, LB

Jason Pierre-Paul had a comeback season in his first year with the Buccaneers. He led the team with 12.5 sacks. Carl Nassib did a nice job on the other side of JPP, but they need some more depth edge-rushers.

Lynch is one of those mid-level free agents. Last season, he had three sacks for the Chicago Bears. He has value as a rotational player, and he has 18 sacks and 54 quarterback hits in 57 games in the NFL.

George Iloka, S

The safety positions have become a mystery for the Buccaneers. That uncertainty at the position can be seen in the teams 26th-ranked pass defense in 2018.

Iloka is a very intriguing free agent. He didn’t play too much on the Vikings last season, only 16 combined tackles in 16 games, but he has been a starting player for the bulk of his career.

The 28-year old has played in 99 games and has nine interceptions and 362 combined tackles under his belt.

Mark Ingram, RB

Ronald Jones didn’t impress much when he was on the field, and Peyton Barber was a decent holdover at the running back position for the team in 2018.

However, if the team can get more financial flexibility, inking Ingram would give Jameis Winston another skill position weapon. Last season, Ingram was suspended for the first four games of the year.

Prior to that, he had back-to-back 1,000+ rushing yards campaigns. He is also a handful in the passing game out of the backfield.
