Could the Bucs make a move at receiver this late into the offseason?
The release of Deven Thompkins has left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver room thin of veteran talent. In fact, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are the only wideouts on the roster with more than a year of experience. The rest of the roster is compiled of second-year players and rookies.
The free agent market is all but dried up, and outside of a trade at the position, any player brought in a wideout would be a "break glass in case of emergency" player. Any player they would sign would benefit from bringing veteran leadership and proven NFL production to the locker room. Pringle has always been used somewhat sparingly throughout his career as a bottom-of-the-roster receiver. Last season with the Commanders, he reeled in just 14 passes for 161 yards. He's never been a playmaker, but he's a tough-nosed receiver who is not afraid to block and is good with the ball in his hands. The Tampa native could also be a factor on special teams, logging over 41% of snaps there last season — that could give him a leg up on the other receivers on this list.
Goodwin is coming off one of his worst seasons as a pro as Father Time starts to catch up to him, but he can still provide a veteran presence. Although he's slowed down a bit, he still has the speed to cause problems for defenses. He has experience in a similar version of Tampa Bay's current offense, spending three seasons with Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco and the 2022 season with Shane Waldron in Seattle. He has 191 career receptions for 3,090 yards and 18 touchdowns.
