Time to Bring in a WR?




Right now on paper the Bucs offense looks really strong and should be one of the better offenses in the league come this fall. The unit has their own triplet combo in QB Jameis Winston, RB Doug Martin, and WR Mike Evans plus a rising O-Line. However, the receiver position could use some more established depth as Vincent Jackson and Evans are a good 1-2 combo but after them are players that are full of question marks. It might be time to bring in a veteran to push these young receivers.

Realbucstalk has mention former Falcon Roddy White as a possible signing since he has history with Dirk Koetter and can still play if he is at full health. White would be cheap, provide leadership, outstanding work ethic, and would bring out the best in these young unknowns at the receiver position. There is a new name to consider that being former Brown, Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline who could come in and play in the slot or even do some returning on special teams. Hartline, 29 had really good numbers in Miami as a solid number two receiver and could put up good numbers with a Qb like Jameis.

Not saying the Bucs will sign either one of these guys, but to think the Bucs will be leaning on Adam Humphries, Donteea Dye, Kenny Bell, and Louis Murphy all of whom haven't done much recently is hard to believe. Pretty sure Bucs Gm Jason Licht will be looking at receivers if none of the mention above step up and take the reigns. Bringing in a veteran could be the way to go even if it is just to push these guys to a new level.
