It may not be clear on this March weekend who the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting safeties will be in September. However, there are clearly some good options.
That wasn't quite as obvious 72 hours ago, when Bradley McDougald and Chris Conte were set to become unrestricted free agents after combining for 27 starts at safety in Tampa in 2016. But there was a plan in place. A little bit off the internal list of free agents and a little bit off the external list and suddenly the Bucs are as deep at safety as they were last season, with a strong competition and the possibility of even more help at the position in the upcoming draft.
