Bucs Boost Offense, Defense in Early Free Agency

The Tampa Bay Buccaneer surprised many by jumping into free agency action right away, despite tight cap space. They resigned Titan Kate Aughton to a three-year deal and brought in running back Kenneth Gainwell on a two-year contract worth $14 million. Dollars to replace Rashad White. Then they added Linebacker Alex Anzalone from the Detroit Lions on a two-year $17 million packed. Earlier this week, these moves filled key gaps on offense and defense early in the negotiation window. Gainwell led the league in receiving yards among running backs last season, giving the Bucks a versatile backfield option. Fans and analysts see Anzalone as a homecoming story since he played college ball at the University of Florida and lives in the Tampa area. As a nine-year veteran and former Lions captain, he brings leadership to a linebacker group that's needed stability.

1:01Anzalone took a discount to join Tampa Bay, and his skills and coverage, blitzing, and run defense should raise the unit's floor. He could mentor young linebacker Servo Sia Dennis while the team waits on the Vante Davis retirement call. Still, the Bucks have more work ahead, especially adding edge rushers. They might draft another inside linebacker in April to build depth, no matter what David decides. S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
