Every team in the NFL builds with one goal in mind: to win the Super Bowl. Teams build to eventually have a window of opportunity where they have legitimate championship equity. When that opportunity arises, they must be prepared to walk a delicate balance between maximizing their championship equity in the short term, which comes at the cost of the future health of their franchise, and maintaining the long-term health of their franchise.
Tampa Bay is facing a free-agent period in which they project to be $45 million over the salary cap, with only three defensive backs currently under contract for next season . They will have no obvious answer at quarterback under contract. Their best linebacker and the heart of their defense, Lavonte David, will also hit free agency. Almost every rotational defensive lineman they have—Akiem Hicks, William Gholston, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Anthony Nelson, and Carl Nassib—will be a free agent.
One obvious name that has been connected to Tampa Bay is Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham doesn’t necessarily fill a “need” on the Buccaneers’ roster; Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage, and Julio Jones are a more than formidable quartet. However, Godwin, Gage, and Jones have struggled with injuries this season and last year’s version of Beckham is a no-brainer upgrade on Gage and Jones—Jones simply cannot be relied upon to stay healthy.
The Patriots benched Wynn during last week’s loss to the Packers, and he hasn’t seemed long for New England since skipping the offseason program. If Tampa Bay made a move for Wynn, there’s a chance he wouldn’t even start over incumbent left guard Luke Goedeke. However, Wynn would provide valuable depth at four of the five offensive line spots, a clear and immediate upgrade over swing tackle Josh Wells and top interior backup Nick Leverett.
