ANTHONY HARRIS
Safety
Projected contract: 4 years, $14.1 million per year ($31 million guaranteed)
Bruce Arians was adamant that Tampa Bay’s primary goal is to improve its defense this offseason. And with $80 million in cap space to play with, the Buccaneers can make some big plays. One of Tampa Bay’s deep safeties from last season, Andrew Adams, is set to hit free agency, and he was below average in that role by producing a PFF grade at the alignment that failed to crack the 50th percentile. Anthony Harris, on the other hand, owns the highest two-year grade at the alignment. He can slide into the same role as Adams and be an immediate upgrade. Over the past two seasons, Harris has been responsible for 17 combined pass breakups and interceptions and not a single touchdown. That’s pretty good and is exactly what Arians is alluding to when he said he was going to improve the defense.
