If the Bucs truly want to improve their pass rush, then releasing the run stopping defensive end may be where they start and they can do so this offseason without any salary cap repercussions. He had a disappointing season with zero sacks after signing a new contract last year. William Gholston: 36 tackles, no sacks under contract (no cap hit)Īt 26-years old, he’s under contract until 2022 when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. I don’t see it happening, but who knows what’s going on inside the halls of One Buc after this season.
His stock is still high meaning that his trade value is there and there would be a minimal hit towards the salary cap of $500k. However should the Bucs decide to part ways with him for whatever reason, this would be the year to do so. He’s one of the most productive and disruptive defensive tackles in the game and he’s here to stay. Some Bucs fans are somehow displeased with his play over the last few years, but I disagree.

Gerald McCoy: 47 tackles, 6 sacks under contract ($500k cap hit)Īt 29-years old, the six time Pro Bowler is entering his 8th year with the Bucs and is under contract until 2022 when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. In this article, I’m going to hit on the defensive side of the ball. In my last article, I covered the offensive and special teams players and their contract situations. There are some moves, on both offense and defense, that could add more cap space.
That’s the fifth highest amount of any team in the league with a possibility of being even higher. That being said, this year the Bucs have about $65 million in cap space. That amounts to a whole bunch of “Benjamins” being dispersed. At some point in the next two years, they’re going to have to re-sign Jameis Winston, Mike Evans, Donovan Smith, Ali Marpet, Cameron Brate, Adam Humphries and Kwon Alexander. The Buccaneers are going into this 2018 offseason in pretty good shape, both contract wise and salary cap wise.
