As the Bucs look to reload their roster, a new wide receiver might be in play. The Cleveland Browns released Jarvis Landry on Monday, and ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes that the Bucs could be a suitor.
Landry will have a market, but I'm watching Patriots and Bucs especially closely here. https://t.co/5Rc5UuD5te

Tampa Bay is looking for a third wide receiver and Landry fits the mold. He’s an eight-year veteran who made 52 catches for 570 yards and two touchdowns last season in 12 games. Landry might not be the same Pro Bowl caliber player he was a couple of seasons ago, but he’s still a productive wideout.
Depth at the position is very important to the Bucs, especially with Chris Godwin coming off of an ACL injury. While Landry only played 12 games in 2021, that was the fewest amount of games he’s played in his career. Prior to last season, Landry only missed one regular season game.
The Bucs have their top two receivers set next year with Mike Evans and Godwin. There are question marks outside of that, though. Lobbying to become third on the depth chart is Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Cyril Grayson Jr.
Adding Landry would instantly upgrade the position and give Tom Brady another weapon. With Brady’s return, it opens the door to attract outside free agents to come to Tampa and play with the GOAT. The Bucs more than likely will add a receiver either in free agency or the draft.
