First of all Tucker is a return specialist and he is a known quantity as a backup RB with the Bucs organization. So re-signing him on the cheap is a no brainer. Next, the only upgrade you may try force is over Wright or Williams. But do the Bucs have the luxury of upgrading at RB to displace Wright or Williams when they are like third/fourth string? NO they do not.
Here are the team needs:
TE1 or TE2 to team with Durham and Culp.
Backup interior OL to compete with Klein, Haggard, and Scott.
Three tech DL incase Kancey is injured again. Bucs have no true 3 tech on their roster right now unless you count Roberts. But I am presuming Roberts just takes Hall's role with a seamless transition.
Backup NT to groom behind Vea with Simmons, Jayson Jones and Hutmacher bringing the rear and already under contract.
ILB X 2 to compete with Dennis and Jackson even if LVD returns.
OLB X 2 to compete with Diaby, Watts (RFA most likely re-signed), Braswell, Nelson, Kamara, and Walker.
WR room is stacked and here are the guys under contract (Godwin, Egbuka, McMillan, T. Johnson, K. Johnson, Greene, Houston). Even more so if Evans and Shepard return.
At tackle you have Goedeke, Wirfs, Chukwuma and Barton can fill in a pinch too.
DB depth is pretty good with Izien and Roberts. But it isn't a priority but it wouldn't hurt to add depth.
It is crystal clear that upgrading starting positions at ILB, OLB, TE and primary backups to OG and NT/3tech are more important than upgrading RB2/3/4.
If the Bucs spend cap space to relegate Irving to RB2 or make Tucker RB3 then it makes no sense when you have gaping holes at starting positions of TE1/TE2, no primary backup at guard/center, no starter opposite of Diaby at edge. NO player to step in at 3 tech if Kancey is out again. And may need 1 to 2 starters at ILB.
