7. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (5-11)
LAST SEASON: There's no way to sugarcoat disappointment of not ending decade-long playoff drought on heels of going 9-7 two years ago. Shoulder injury
that affected QB Jameis Winston much of season was just part of problem. Running
game sputtered
Nick Jensen Jersey , Winston had difficulty throwing deep to DeSean Jackson after speedy receiver signed three-year, $33.5 million contract in free
agency, and what coach Dirk Koetter believed was capable of being high-scoring
offense struggled getting into end zone. Defensively, team took big step
backward, too, finishing last with 23 sacks.
THEY NEED: CB, RB
Authentic Mike Cammalleri Jersey , S, DE, DT, RG, RT.
THEY DON'T NEED: QB, WR, TE.
POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: DB Minkah Fitzpatrick
Ondrej Palat Jersey , Alabama; S Derwin James, Florida State; G Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame; CB Denzel Ward, Ohio State, DE Marcus Davenport, UTSA; DT
Vita Vea, Washington.
OUTLOOK: With Winston entering fourth season
Duncan Keith Jersey , heat is on Koetter and general manager Jason Licht to not only escape NFC South cellar but make playoffs for first time since 2007.
Top priority has been improving defensive and offensive lines. Licht addressed
sagging pass rush by trading for former Giants sackmaster Jason Pierre-Paul and
bolstered run defense by signing ex-Eagles Vinny Curry and Beau Allen in free
agency. Addition of ex-Ravens center Ryan Jensen, whose arrival frees Ali Marpet
to move to left guard, is big, too. Still, there are plenty more holes to fill,
especially in secondary where CB Brent Grimes turns 35 in July and CB Vernon
Hargreaves III, first-round draft pick two years ago
Frans Nielsen Jersey Kids , lost starting job last season.
Ahead of the start of training camp on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles created two openings on their 90-man roster by releasing veteran wide receiver
Marquess Wilson and waiving cornerback Randall Goforth.
Goforth tore an ACL in training camp with the Eagles last year after signing as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA. Goforth wasn’t listed with an injury
designation on the league transaction report, which indicates he would have
passed a physical before being released.
Wilson signed with the Eagles this offseason after not playing for a team last year. A former seventh-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2013, Wilson
appeared in 31 games over four seasons before becoming a free agent following
the 2016 season. He caught 56 passes for 777 yards and three touchdowns in his
four years with the Bears.
Wilson signed with the New York Jets last offseason but was released during the preseason.
