The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have a number of big decisions to make this offseason when it comes to their list of unrestricted free agents.
Quarterback Jameis Winston, who threw for 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions, is among that group. Head coach Bruce Arians said after the season that the team would evaluate Winston in the coming weeks, but an announcement wouldn’t be imminent.
Linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who led the NFL in sacks and broke the franchise’s single-season record with 19.5, probably won’t be as nervous as Winston this offseason. After signing a one-year deal with Tampa Bay last offseason, Barrett is in line for a major payday, and both he and the Bucs seem ready and willing to work out a long-term deal.
But, let’s not forget about veteran Ndamukong Suh. The number two overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft replaced the player picked right behind him, Gerald McCoy, after the Buccaneers parted ways with the veteran last spring. Suh is set to be a free agent as well, and after helping the Bucs rank as the league’s best rush defense, you can be sure Arians and Todd Bowles will try and bring the big man back.
For now, though, Suh is living his best life. A few weeks ago he was celebrating his birthday in Napa Valley, and today, the offseason travel continues as Suh is soaking up the sun.
Take a look.
