The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could, and maybe should, be looking to trade for a wide receiver before the trade deadline following a rash of injuries.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were looking like a serious contender in the league as they headed into their primetime Monday Night Football matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, but by the end of the game, everything came to a screeching halt as the mood around the organization hit depressing levels after both of their star wide receivers left the game with injuries.Mike Evans
The New York Jets went out and traded for Davante Adams to give Aaron Rodgers some help, and that leaves eight-year veteran wide receiver Mike Williams as the odd man out in a crowded wide receiver room. Dionte Johnson might be the guy that makes the most sense if the Bucs do decide to make a trade for a wideout before the deadline. Johnson joined the Panthers this offseason and has been their most productive receiver through seven games, posting 30 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns.
Jaguars wideout Christian Kirk is an interesting one, as he would still be under contract through 2025 and makes an annual salary of around $18 million — something that likely would need taking on by the Jags. However, Kirk has shown that he can be a true number one and if he can regain that form then he is exactly what the Bucs would love in a wideout especially with Evans returning later in the season.
Since the departure of Davante Adams, Meyers has become the defacto WR1 in Vegas and accumulated 25 catches for 273 yards and one score throughout five games. Veteran Giants' wide receiver Darius Slayton isn't necessarily a household name, but he has produced with less-than-ideal quarterback play at his disposal. Slayton is set to hit the unrestricted free agent market this spring and could be a solid rental for the Bucs for either a late Day 2 or Day 3 draft pick.
