There has been quite a bit of movement at the safety position since the start of free agency…or just before the start of free agency.
Both of the team's primary starters from 2016 were set to become unrestricted free agents on March 9. Chris Conte re-signed with the team just before the opening bell but Bradley McDougald hit the market and has just recently signed with Seattle. Meanwhile, two days into the open market, the Buccaneers signed another potential starter in former Dallas Cowboy J.J. Wilcox.
That essentially puts the Bucs back where they left off at the end of 2016, in terms of starting candidates and overall numbers at safety.
