The Buccaneers made plenty of moves this offseason. General manager Jason Licht was busy piecing together a new defensive line. He worked out two notable contract extensions with Mike Evans and Cameron Brate, while also improving the offensive line by inking Ryan Jensen to a deal. Then, of course, there was the 2018 NFL Draft.
Licht’s moves throughout the offseason were made with an eye on the big picture. However, one move will have more of a short-term impact, which is perfectly okay. That move was the re-signing of 35-year-old cornerback Brent Grimes.
