To keep things simple and fun, below is a breakdown of the optimal price that allows the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to bring in these possible free agent quarterbacks. The goal is for the Bucs, in these scenarios, to be cap-flexible. If a QB is currently not a free agent, there will be a trade with the cap number listed.
Jameis Winston – Franchise Tag-$26.9 million
After the 2019 season ended, it was leaked that Winston and his camp are seeking $30+ million per season. Whether this is true or not, given the QB market trending upwards after each extension that is signed in the offseason, it is definitely not out of the realm of possibility that Licht, the Glazers, and Arians are considering an extension of 3-5 years.
