Lets face it the Bucs defense needs more talent in all three position groups, and I believe Rams cornerback unrestricted free agent Janoris Jenkins would be a good start to the offseason. If the Bucs could add Jenkins to the secondary group that would be a vast improvement and provide a guy that is one of the top man to man corners in the league. Jenkins had 15 pass breakups to go along with 3ints, but most importantly 64 tackles which means he is aggressive against the run providing physical play. Jenkins,27 has good size at 5-11 200lbs as he and Trumaine Johnson were one of the better cornerback duos in the NFL this past season.
Jenkins, who is a former Florida Gator, would probably welcome the opportunity to come back home and play in Florida where there is no state income tax by the way. Jenkins would be a good fit in Mike Smith's scheme which would allow Jenkins to play a lot of press man coverage which is his strength. Paring Jenkins with Sterling Moore and Jonathan Banks would help the secondary improve quite a bit and potentially making the group a strength for 2016. Jenkins will probably ask for 6 or 7 million annually which is understandable for his ability, the good news is the Bucs have plenty of cap space so might as well use it.
