Tampa Bay Buccaneers Will Be Major Players In Free Agency
By Josh Sanchez
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an incredible amount of cap space heading into the 2012 NFL free agency period. What does that mean? The Bucs have a load of money and will be major players in free agency. They’ve got the money and they will not hesitate to throw it around.
“We’ll be more active in free agency that we were last year,” Bucs G.M. Mark Dominik said. “We purposely rolled every penny we could into this year’s cap. Clubs didn’t have to do that, but we wanted to. We have plans.”
“We’ll be involved in free agency,” Dominik added. “To what capacity, it depends on what the list looks like. We’re prepared, and that’s the most important thing.”
This year features a free agency class that is loaded at multiple positions. It is a great year for the Buccaneers to have money — around $60 million — to throw around and they can severely improve their team if they spend the cash wisely. Of course, much like last year’s Philadelphia Dream Team, don’t expect the result to show on the field in the first season.
