Buccaneers depth chart 2020 Tampa Bays p

The have enjoyed quite the glow-up in 2020. After a 7-9 finish last year, the Bucs jumped into the offseason with the clear intention of improving the quarterback position. They struck gold in free agency, landing the biggest fish po sible in , who inked a two-year deal with the club. Along with landing the six-time champion, Tampa was also able to coax legendary tight end out of retirement and force a trade to the Bucs. Wowza. Tampa Bay is now poised to look completely different in 2020 as the addition of Brady thrusts open a Super Bowl window for Bruce Arians' club, especially Leonard Fournette. While this unprecedented offseason has stripped us of a normal minicamp and OTAs where we would have seen key roster battles commence and seen which way the team was initially leaning, we decided to take an early stab at projecting who will be working with the first-team offense and the rest of the depth chart on the roster. For the purpose of this discu sion, we'll be projecting the depth chart up to the top four players at a given position. Tampa Bay, like every Nic Dowd Men Jersey club in the currently, has a crowded 80-man roster, but that will be cut to a 53-man roster on Saturday, Sep. 5. This is merely a snapshot of where we are today with this bloated roster. Rookies will be denoted with a (*). Offense StarterBackupDepthDepth QB Tom Brady Reid Sinnett* RB IIKe'Shawn Vaughn* WR Jaydon Mickens WR WR Scotty Miller * John Hurst* TE Rob Gronkowski O.J. Howard LT LG C AQ Shipley Zach Shackelford* RG John Molchon* RT * Tom Brady, of course, is the unrivaled starter in the Tampa Bay offense, but I do think the re-signing of Blaine Gabbert will be . The veteran has worked with Arians in both Tampa and Arizona, starting five games for him with the in 2017. In this time where face-to-face gatherings with the team are limited, Gabbert could be an a set to Brady to help him mold into Arians' system a bit more seamle sly. At the pa s-catching spots, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are still Igor Larionov Jersey the one-two punch, but Tampa Bay did lose to the in free agency, leaving 69 targets up for grabs. It'd be somewhat poetic for tight end Rob Gronkowski to take all of those, but I do expect Scotty Miller to po sibly take a leap in his second year in the league. Fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson should also figure into the mix. Speaking of Patrick Wiercioch Jersey Gronkowski and the tight ends, that position historically doesn't mesh well in Arians' offense, but the head coach will likely cater some of his stylings to fit in with Brady, who has made a killing with Gronkowski and a number of other tight ends over the course of his career with the . Because the Bucs have three capable tight ends, it wouldn't be surprising to see Arians include more two tight ends sets in his offense in 2020. Along the offensive line, the story revolves around first-round pick Tristan Wirfs, who'll likely immediately come in and start at right tackle. Defense Starter Backup Depth DE Patrick O'Connor NT Vita Vea Khalil Davis* Benning Potoa'e* DE OLB ILB Chapelle Ru sell* ILB OLB Jr.* CB S Antoine Winfield Jr.* S CB Parnell Motley* Continuity is the key word when speaking about the Buccaneers offseason as it relates to the defense. The club was able to keep intact its front seven, a unit that was the best in the league at stopping the run. Shaquil Barrett was hit with the franchise tag, while Ndamukong Suh re-signed with the team on a one-year deal and Jason Pierre-Paul re-upped with a two-year, $27 million extension. Tampa Bay did lose nose tackle in free agency and rookie , selected in the sixth round out of Wisconsin, should slot in as the po sible backup to . 2019 first-round linebacker Devin White should only get even better as he enters his second year in Christopher Tanev Men Jersey the league as well. In the secondary, the Bucs did add safety Antoine Winfield Jr. in the second round, which could be a steal. He very well could inch into the starting rotation by the time the 2020 season is in full bloom. Winfield Jr. is physical safety that can play in the box and take on tight ends and receivers in the slot. Corner Carlton Davis is also worth watching as he heads into his third season in the league. In 14 games played in 2019, Davis totaled 19 pa ses defended, which was only outdone by reigning Defensive Player of the Year in of the Patriots. With that lethal front seven still attacking opposing offenses, Davis and the rest of the Bucs secondary should be freed up to make some plays at the football. Special teams Starter Backup K P LS KR Ronald Jones II PR Justin Watson John Franklin A potential kicking competition between Matt Gay and is the big story surrounding Tampa Bay's special teams unit. Gay was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 draft and completed 77.1% of his field-goal attempts. He also netted 89.6% of his extra points. It was a good, Ben Hutton Men Jersey not great rookie season, which did feature some inconsistencies. Because of that, GM Jason Licht decided to add Succop. Given the draft capital used on Gay, the Buccaneers certainly want to see him thrive with the franchise, but clearly they think it's best to push some competition on him to see what he's made of.
