The Bucs did not have anyone listed in the worst value category, though a rival in their division did. It was the Saints and their signing of edge rusher Chase Young for three years and $51 million, which is not viewed well. New Orleans is already in a difficult financial situation, and this didn’t make it much better. This is what was said about the move:Young has overcome his durability issues, but the Saints overpaid for a player who only lined up for 63% of the defensive snaps last season.

Table of ContentsWhether the Bucs’ signing of edge rusher Haason Reddick works out or not remains to be seen. But the initial thought of the overall contract of one-year and $12 million with a chance to get to $14 million was viewed as a low-risk, high-reward type of deal.

Since Tampa Bay is picking at No. 19 in the first round and has various areas of need, this year’s first-round pick can’t be narrowed down to just one or two players, or even one or two positions. Ideally the Bucs are going to have more defensive players added to the team through the draft.

Some of his responses, whether it was last month at the NFL Scouting Combine or last week at the NFL Annual Meeting, have been reminiscent of how his mentor, Bruce Arians, would be blunt about whatever topic came up – most usually about his players.
