The New England Patriots need to upgrade their offensive line during the 2023 NFL offseason, and an experienced left tackle is about to hit the market.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are releasing starting left tackle Donovan Smith, per multiple reports. This move will save the Bucs just under $10 million in salary cap space, per Greg Auman of The Athletic.
Should the Patriots pursue Smith in free agency?
Maybe at the right price, but his best days are likely behind him. He's definitely not someone the Patriots should make a major financial commitment to sign.
