The NFL's 2020 calendar year begins on Wednesday, March 18, with the free agent market opening at 4 p.m. ET. That's an important date for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who can't help but be players in free agency, if only due to their own expiring contracts and an interesting salary cap situation. The Buccaneers currently have 19 players who could become unrestricted free agents on that mid-March Wednesday, and they have more than $90 million of estimated cap space, pending any re-signings in the interim.
The Buccaneers have 10 weeks to figure out how to approach this year's market and their own roster, and potentially to reduce that number of pending UFAs. In those 10 weeks, we're going to take a position-by-position look at what the Bucs have, who they could lose and who they could look at from other teams on the open market. Our 2020 Free Agency Primers begins this week with the offensive line.
