Buccaneers To Rebuild Following Tom Brady's Retirement
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to go into full rebuild mode after quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement earlier this month. Their biggest offseason priority is to get their books in order after pushing a bunch of salary cap hits into the future in the three years that Brady was in Tampa. They are currently around $55 million over the cap, with $35 million of that being Brady's. But they are expected to absorb all of that in 2023. The Bucs like quarterback Kyle Trask a lot, but they'll be in the veteran QB market this offseason as well. San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo is a player they like, but they may not have the finances to get it done. In order to create some savings, Tampa could cut left tackle Donovan Smith to save over $5 million.
