There has been plenty of turnover on the Buccaneers’ team over the last four years – 97 percent of the entire roster since Jason Licht’s arrival, to be exact. But, where a lot of turnover like that can sometimes be seen as inconsistencies, most would say they were changes that had to be made in order to get this team to where it wanted to go.
The Bucs have started to even out how much they gain and lose from year-to-year with their players, setting up more of a core to build around now, but that didn’t mean this past offseason went without saying goodbye to some big-name Bucs players who contributed quite a bit over the last three or four years.
The three most notable absences from last year’s team are wide receiver Vincent Jackson, cornerback Alterraun Verner and tight end Brandon Myers. Each of these three players have yet to be signed, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t potential fits and even leads for each of these players.
