Wednesday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced a one-year extension with running back and 2018 leading rusher Peyton Barber. His deal came in at a little over $2 million against the cap for the 2019 season. Despite inking a new deal in Tampa Bay, the Bucs must look for an upgrade at the running back position.
Despite leading the team in rushing yards a year ago, starting all 16 games for the Bucs, Barber’s inability to find a hole and lack of versatility catching passes out of the backfield limit what Tampa Bay can do offensively.
