Buccaneers GM Licht Discusses Free Agency, Draft Needs

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are navigating a busy offseason, with key signings and strategic adjustments as they prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft. General Manager Jason Licht highlighted the importance of re-signing offensive guard Ben Bredeson and retaining star wide receiver Chris Godwin, emphasizing the need for a cohesive offensive line. Despite improvements, the cornerback position remains a concern, as injuries plagued the team last season, and Licht acknowledged the necessity for additional depth in that area. Cornerback Jamel Dean, who has struggled with injuries and production since signing a four-year deal, may be on the chopping block if his performance does not improve. Coach Todd Bowles reiterated the lack of depth at cornerback and the team's intention to address it during the draft. The Buccaneers' management is focused on enhancing their roster through both free agency and the upcoming draft to build a more competitive team.
