2014 NFL Free Agency: Top 10 Offensive Linemen By David Levin February 13, 2014 8:07 am One of the great things about this offseason, free agency and the upcoming draft is the overwhelming depth on the offensive line.While the tackle spot seems to be the leading position teams will look to for starters and depth, centers and guards will also get a good, long look.These 10 players will be the ones teams will jump at once free agency begins in about a month. Branden Albert, Kansas City ChiefsHe could have been in Dallas or Miami last season, but could not work out a trade before the NFL Draft. Albert can play both guard and tackle. I say he plays with the Chiefs again next season.Ryan Cook, Dallas CowboysCook is expendable because of changes on the offensive line. He becomes a valuable to player to any team because he could line up at guard as well.Vladimir Ducasse, New York JetsIn his fifth season in the league, the 6’5”, 325-pounder will get plenty of attention. The former UMass guard can play all three interior line spots.Jordan Gross, Carolina PanthersThe fact he had one of his best seasons as a pro when he was 34 years old says something huge about him. Gross may be on the downside of his career, but he can still move a defensive linemen out of place.Richie Incognito, Miami DolphinsWe are guaranteed he will not be playing in Miami next season. Now that he has been reinstated, finding the right team to handle his strong personality. Incognito could be a real steal on this market.Alex Mack, Cleveland BrownsHe will be the highest-sought offensive lineman in free agency. The center says he will allow Cleveland to give him the first offer and allow the team to counter any offer given him. I doubt he stays in Ohio this season.Eugene Monroe, Baltimore RavensHe will get plenty of attention on the open market. Monroe went from starting left tackle in Jacksonville to being traded to Baltimore, to being a free agent. He still have plenty of value.Michael Oher, Baltimore RavensOher may wind back up in Baltimore, but I think he gets some attention from Miami or Jacksonville and possibly New England. He is still an intimidating sight to look at.Zach Strief, New OrleansHe is an underrated member of the Saints' offensive line. He could be one of the first linemen signed by another team, but it would be a big loss for the team and protecting Drew Brees.Travelle Wharton, Carolina PanthersCarolina cannot afford to lose two offensive linemen, but that might happen. Wharton was as important to this line as Gross was and could be more valuable this coming year. http://www.footballnation.com/content/2014-nfl-free-agency-top-10-offensive-linemen/28591/
I could see the Bucs making a run at either Strief or Brian De La Puenta from the Saints for the right price

Saints linemen in Tampa have not turned out well haha. Look at Faine and Nicks. Those fans must use voodoo or something when they leave.
Bucs should be all over Oher.
Davin Joseph 2.0 (without injury issue)... think Trueblood production!he's a 1st round bust who offer below average potential, Dotson in one season have more good game than Oher in 5 season!below average starting material at best... good value as a Swing Tackle for $2-3M a year!he's the worst on the list with Ducasse and Cook!imo Jared Veldheer, Jon Asamoah, Rodger Saffold, Austin Howard, Anthony Collins and Geoff Schwartz should be on the list.
I'll take any of those 10 please
Although it ain't nnhappening I'd like to see Mack and Albert in Bucs uniforms.This probably where Licht goes value... Asomoah, redo some of our olineman deals
