For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they have some money to play with, but options will be very limited. There is always the potential of another cut to free up cap space (cough* Gerald McCoy cough*) but right now, it’s slim pickings in Tampa Bay.Just in case a couple of more cuts come, here are a few players that the Bucs should consider looking at.1. Johnathan Cyprien, SHe played very well for the Tennessee Titans, the only problem is that he appeared in just 10 of 32 possible games over the course of two years.But that could work in Tampa Bay’s favor. The Bucs could lure him in with a one-year, prove it deal similar to Deonne Bucannon’s. Cyprien is a tough, in-the-box safety that would automatically improve the Bucs’ run game. Before his 2017 injury, he never dipped below 100+ tackles in a season. He’s still young as well, evidenced by his 29 years of age.2. Quinton Spain, GWith the announcement of Caleb Benenoch’s move to tackle and the Titan’s signing of Rodger Saffold, it’s all but certain that Spain is on the hunt for his new team.It’s pretty obvious the Bucs need help at the right guard position. Benenoch’s absence, combined with Evan Smith’s departure in free agency made an already bad situation even worse. Outside of Matt Slauson, Spain is the highest-graded guard left on the board according to Pro Football Focus. He’s good in pass protection and is slightly above average when it comes to opening up lanes for running backs. He earned a career-high $1.97 million in 2018. There’s no reason to think the Bucs couldn't make that happen. 3. Morris Claiborne, CBWell, it is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers we are talking about here, so naturally, we are going to be talking about the cornerback position. While Claiborne will likely be the most expensive name on this list, he may make the most sense both financially and schematically. He arguably had the best two years of his career under Todd Bowles in New York and only carried a $6.85 million cap hit in 2018. Claiborne is made for Bowles’ scheme and if the Bucs could get him in town for around the same price as last year, then it’s almost a no-brainer.Claiborne would not only upgrade the secondary, but would also add depth to a position that was hit hard by injury a season ago. 4. Jason Verrett, CBThis would be a HUGE risk considering Verrett’s injury history, but if it were to work - talk about a major payoff.Verrett is one of the league’s top cornerbacks when healthy, but that’s the key - his health. He’s played in just five games over the last three seasons, which would be an automatic red flag for any team. But that also mean’s he’d be cheap. If he can get back to the player that recorded five interceptions in his first 24 games, it’d be akin to Tampa Bay striking the lottery. You can certainly bet he’d be cheaper than Claiborne, plus he’ll have a chip on his shoulder in hopes to return to his prior form. While this is mostly a gamble, oftentimes, a roll of the dice is what it takes to win in the NFL. 5. Markus Golden, DE Another player familiar with the current staff, Golden had 12.5 sacks in 2016 before injuries cost him the 2017 and 2018 seasons. 12.5 sacks is no joke. The best part about that number is that they came while he played the EDGE position for the Arizona Cardinals. It just so happens to be that the Bucs are in need of talented EDGE rushers now that they will likely move to a 3-4 base under Bowles. Combine that with the fact that Jason Pierre-Paul is going to cost over $14 million and it makes sense that the Bucs need to find other options that are effective, but cheaper. This is another potential, low-risk/high-reward type deal that could really pay off in the end. The Buccaneers pulled off the biggest upset of the opening week of the NFL season, beating the Saints in a high-scoring shootout. Three months later, neither team is looking back.New Orleans (10-2) is on the verge of clinching another NFC South title. Tampa Bay (5-7) is trying to escape a deep hole and climb back into playoff contention.“It does feel like it’s been quite a while,” Saints coach Sean Payton said, reflecting on his team’s 48-40 loss to the Bucs in Week 1.“Obviously, a lot’s taken place since then. We will be seeing a different quarterback in this game,” Payton added. “I think there are some similarities relative to what the teams do scheme-wise and yet through the course of the season, there’s been injuries, new players playing at different positions for both sides and a big enough gap to where you’re watching a lot of other tape, not just the tape of your past game.”That’s life in the NFL, which doesn’t afford much time to dwell on wins or losses.When the division rivals meet again Sunday http://www.buccaneerslockerroom.com/authentic-vita-vea-jersey , the Saints will be eager to rebound from a 13-10 road loss to Dallas that stopped a 10-game winning streak.The Bucs beat Carolina 24-17 last week, improving to 2-0 since Jameis Winston regained Tampa Bay’s starting quarterback job.“You don’t win 10 straight in this league if you’re not pretty good,” Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said, cautioning against reading too much into New Orleans’ only loss since Ryan Fitzpatrick led Tampa Bay past the Saints on Sept. 9.“As we’ve said many times, this is a week-to-week league and there’s good players on both sides,” Koetter added. “I don’t think the Saints are going to be losing too much sleep over losing (and) being 10-2.”New Orleans can clinch its second straight NFC South title with a win Sunday or a Carolina loss or tie.The Bucs, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2007, have won the past two meetings in the division rivalry.“We’re playing for a lot, in the position we’re in. I think our team knows that,” Payton said.“The bottom line is we control our destiny right now,” quarterback Drew Brees said. “We win this game, we win the division and that’s the first step, first goal that we set for ourselves this season. … Then, we’ll worry about the next goal.”Some things to know about the Bucs, who won two straight after a stretch in which they dropped seven of eight games, and Saints:PERSONAL RIVALRYTop Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore could be seeking a measure of redemption when he lines up against receiver Mike Evans.A year ago, Lattimore memorably frustrated Evans to the point that the big Bucs receiver leveled the cornerback along the Tampa Bay sideline as Winston and Lattimore exchanged words. Yet, in Week 1 of this season, Evans had a huge day in the Superdome against Lattimore, catching seven passes for 147 yards, highlighted by his 50-yard touchdown catch.But Lattimore, the 2017 defensive rookie of the year, has come back strong from that game and Payton was highly complimentary of his play this season while, to some extent, also excusing his Week 1 performance.“Marshon, we feel like, is one of the better corners in this league,” Payton said, “and I’m glad we have him.”IMPROVED PASS RUSHSince Week 7 when Tampa Bay fired defensive coordinator Mike Smith and promoted linebackers coach Mark Duffner as his replacement, the Bucs have the second-most sacks in the league with 24. The only team with more over that stretch is New Orleans with 25.RAIN READINESPayton tends to be very particular about reviewing weather forecasts for outdoor games and particularly so this week, where the forecast is calling for rain and some wind.“It doesn’t ‘look like’ it’s going to rain. It’s going to rain 鈥?95 percent chance of rain. There’ll be some wind 鈥?10 to 12 miles an hour. We know the direction; it’ll head from their locker room toward the pirate ship. I think the footing is going to be important relative to the shoes that we’re wearing.”To that end, the Saints were practicing outside Thursday, when Payton said their work included “wet ball drills, the whole 9 yards. It’s just understanding ball security, understanding the conditions.”Payton recalled that in September 2013, a Saints game at Tampa Bay was delayed by weather.“We’ve been there before when we were sent in … to go eat oranges for half an hour and then stretch and come back out and play,” he said.BALL SECURITYWinston, who sat out the season opener while serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct penalty, has not turned the ball over since regaining his starting job two weeks ago. In his past three games, including starts vs. the 49ers and Panthers, the fourth-year pro completed 61 of 84 passes (72.6 percent) for 760 yards and six TDs vs. one interception for a 119.1rating. “He’s playing with a lot of confidence,” Payton said.“I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of turnovers. … (But) I think as long as Jameis continues to make good decisions, then he’s going to play good football,” Koetter said. “That’s really all we’re worried about.”
