The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a pretty busy first day of free agency. They re-signed a few players, added a prime free agent in DeSean Jackson at a reasonable price, and added some much-needed defensive line depth with defensive lineman Chris Baker.
All those signings come with grades, of course, because that’s what people want to know immediately even though we can’t realistically make proper judgments of any signing until years later (or, in the worst case scenario, one year later).
