Rumors: Buccaneers not likely to franchise tag Jameis Winston

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fanbase continues to wait on an announcement pertaining to QB Jameis Winston, it seems the organization is looking at other players to place the franchise tag.

According to Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds, the Buccaneers are now most likely to let Winston test the free market in free-agency and pursue other options with the franchise tag.

Why?

“I don’t think the Bucs think there is going to be much of a free agent market for Winston,” Reynolds said.

Bruce Arians suggested that the Buccaneers are exploring all of their options when it comes to the quarterback position and that Tampa Bay will likely pick up the phone on several free-agent QBs this offseason.
