5 NFL Stars the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Should Trade for in 2016 By Brendan Patel PREV NEXT 5 NFL Stars the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Should Trade for in 2016 Kim Klement - USA TODAY Sports The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown a lot of improvement this season, but they still need a little more to get over the hump. They have built a strong running game and have a young quarterback with a lot of potential. There are still holes on their offensive line as well as on defense, and the team should look to improve their roster this offseason. 5. Antonio Cromartie Brad Penner - USA TODAY Sports 5. Antonio Cromartie Brad Penner - USA TODAY Sports Cromartie has not played well this season, but neither have the Tampa Bay cornerbacks. They could use someone with his size and speed on the outside, and it is likely that the New York Jets would be willing to get rid of him for little in return. It would be a gamble, but one that the team could take. 4. Joe Thomas Ken Blaze - USA TODAY Sports 4. Joe Thomas Ken Blaze - USA TODAY Sports The Buccaneers must improve their offensive line, and they can make a bold statement by going after one of the best left tackles in the game. Their young quarterback will need protection, and Thomas would be a huge upgrade. 3. Jahri Evans Kim Klement - USA TODAY Sports 3. Jahri Evans Kim Klement - USA TODAY Sports The Buccaneers have been able to utilize a strong running game this season, and should look to bring back Doug Martin for another year. Bringing in a talented guard such as Evans could help improve their offense even more. 2. Mario Williams Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports 2. Mario Williams Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports The team needs more pass-rushers, and Williams can still be a force on the defensive line. He has not had a great season in Buffalo, and the team could look to move him. 1. NaVorro Bowman Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports 1. NaVorro Bowman Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports The Buccaneers could use an elite middle linebacker to lead their defense. Bowman’s athleticism and talent would make him a great fit and would give Tampa Bay two of the top linebackers in the league.
