Below are the questions we chose for this week’s edition of the PR Bucs Monday Mailbag. Read them over and offer up your thoughts in the comment section.

Question: Mark, the team is not fully done being reshaped for the 2018 season. Do you think they’ll be more active with other team’s cuts, secondary bargain basement FA’s or a trade with another team? Or even a combo of all the above?

Answer: We know for sure Bucs GM Jason Licht is always on the lookout for players that can make the team better, via all the ways you listed. But with the current roster, he is as pleased as he has been since arriving with Lovie Smith in 2014 with the overall talent. To me, there just aren’t any glaring holes — noticed I said glaring. Could there be improved depth at some spots? Certainly, but to have top-line talent, two-deep across the board, that is just something that is nearly impossible with a salary cap — and that is exactly the way the league wants it. While teams have put together dynasties over the years – the Patriot being the most notable – the NFL doesn’t want a situation where even the worst team the year prior doesn’t feel like they can compete the next season.

With that said, unless there is a major injury at a position lacking depth, the most likely additions to the team would come from cuts from other teams as the offseason and preseason continue. The problem is, there are eight teams ahead of the Bucs on the waiver claim system in place, and the odds of an impact player slipping through to the Bucs is pretty small. And I do think that it is possible the Buccaneers add a player or two from the bargain basement free agents as well, once the team’s mandatory mini-camp is over next month. The staff will have been able to see this ‘new look’ roster all on the field together and would be able to assess where they are.

Question: It seems like the roles are reversed now where RG is now a question mark now that LG is solidified. With J.R. Sweezy the biggest question mark, would Caleb Benenoch be the best fit with Alex Cappa a raw project?

Answer: The team really loves the potential Benenoch brings and I think when the dust settles in early September it will be Benenoch who starts at right guard opening week at New Orleans. As a reporter, you not only hear the answer a coach or general manager gives you when you ask a question, you also kind of feel it. By their expression or voice inflection. We get that vibe from Dirk Koetter and Licht every times we bring up Benenoch. Their poker faces aren’t very good.

Certainly the team would love Sweezy to walk back into One Buc soon, completely healthy and the player he was a few years ago in Seattle. The perfect scenario would be a dominant Sweezy and a versatile swing lineman in Benenoch who could be the first man up if there was an injury at guard or either tackle spot. But the same vibe we get when asking about Benenoch is the exact opposite when we ask about Sweezy. I just don’t get a feeling of confidence from anyone that they believe Sweezy can be the same guy they thought he would be when he was signed as a free agent prior to the 2016 season.

For the record, my “vibe” hypothesis isn’t 100 accurate, so let’s see what happens when the team opens training camp in late July.

Question: Mark, are big wide receivers, fast running backs and defensive backs going to be more valuable on 53 due to new kickoff rules. Big guys cant be out there IMO. Maybe keep only seven OL and DL?

Answer: That is a really interesting way to look at the new kickoff rules and something I hadn’t really thought of until this question, but I get what you are saying. The kickoff rules are changing, and the league will continue to look into making it even more safe. I think the new rule of positioning the kick coverage teams only a couple yards back from the line of scrimmage to keep them from getting a huge running start can do just that. It is still the most violent play in all of football, but should be a little less so, especially now that only a certain amount of players can be on either side of the kicker and also the kick return teams aren’t allowed to make wedges anymore. I actually hope that helps make kickoff returns more exciting.

But as far as adjusting the roster, I don’t see much, if any, changes coming there. While you hope you score five or six times a game, and kickoff that often, it still doesn’t compare to the 70-80 plays a game you run on offense and defense where you’ll need to carry more than seven lineman on both sides of the ball.

Question: Which current player who is a free agent (i.e on the street) would you sign if you were Bucs and why?

Answer: While Dez Bryant is the biggest (at least most recognizable) name available on the free agent market, I don’t see how he makes the Bucs much better. However, there are still three safeties without jobs that I would look at if I am the Buccaneers.

Eric Reid, Kenny Vaccaro and Tre Boston are three players I would certainly be keeping an eye on if I am the Buccaneers, particularly Reid, who I think could help the team as a strong safety. Plus he has played free safety as well, along with even some games as a linebacker for the 49ers. To me the safety depth is the one spot that troubles me the most, and while Justin Evans, Chris Conte and Keith Tandy are all good players, the team is one major injury away from scrambling. Mike Smith rotates his safeties and if Conte or Tandy goes down, now you are counting on Jordan Whitehead, Gordon Igwebuike or Isaiah Johnson as the next man up. And yes, Reid was asking for crazy money initially in free agency last March, but his price has dropped to extremely affordable now.
