Could Raiders sign free agents from Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Soon the glow of Super Bowl victory will fade for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the reality of the endless work of NFL business sets in.

The Buccaneers have eight key free agents (which is a lot) and JoeBuc.com reports that teams aim to keep five or six of those key players.

Maybe the Raiders can take advantage of the Buccaneers’ free agency blockage to rush in and steal a player.

The best free agents in Tampa Bay are:

• Edge Rusher Shaq Barrett
• Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh
• Chris Godwin Wide Receiver
• Tight end Rob Gronkowski
• Linebacker Lavonte David
• Receiver Antonio Brown (yes, we know)
• Running back Leonard Fournette
• Kicker Ryan Succop

Barrett or Godwin will likely receive the franchise tag (teams can start using it on Tuesday), but the player who isn’t tagged by Tampa Bay will likely be too rich for the Raiders’ budget. I would remove those two items for Las Vegas, although Barrett and Goodwin would be fine.

Plus, there’s no way the Raiders and Brown will reunite!

So let’s look at the other options.

Gronkowski would be a lot of fun in Las Vegas, but with Darren Waller and Forster Moreau, I don’t see the need for it. Also, I don’t see Gronk leaving Tom Brady.

David will likely be overpriced and the Raiders don’t need Succop as they are thrilled with kicker Daniel Carlson.

That leaves Suh and Fournette out of this group.

I could see both suit the Raiders. They could use a big backup backback behind Josh Jacobs and it would add dimension to the Las Vegas offense.

The Raiders were interested in Suh three years ago (Jon Gruden’s first offseason with the team) and Suh would be a great choice. It would change the tone of the Las Vegas defense. But it seems to be a priority in Tampa Bay and it never comes cheap.

But with the potential flow looming in Tampa Bay, I think it’s wise for this community to keep an eye out for Suh and Fournette.
