Why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should trade for Jamal Adams

3. It’s Financially Palatable

The Buccaneers signed Tom Brady, then drafted an offensive tackle (Tristan Wirfs), a defensive back (Antoine Winfield Jr.) and a running back (Ke’Shawn Vaughn) to address needs. But the league’s 30th-ranked pass defense from 2019 could still use some help.

The Buccaneers are up against the salary cap right now ($4.873 million in space, according to Over The Cap). Adams has a $3.5 million cap hit for this year, so they’d probably have to trade a player back to the Jets to make it work better.

Adams is also under control via the $9.86 million fifth-year option for 2021. Tampa Bay has plenty of cap space to take that on, with $63.1 million in projected space for 2021 right now. Giving Adams the kind of deal he wants is possible for the Buccaneers.

Filling a need as well as possible, and it’s financially viable. That’s a good start to paving a path to Tampa Bay for Adams.
