Unfortunately this is a pipe dream but hey one can hope!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers own the NFL's worst running back stable. A coaching change will help, but there isn't a single team more in need of a starting-caliber back.
Head coach Bruce Arians plans to lean on the duo of Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones II. Arians went as far as telling reporters Barber is "the kind [of back] I want to build around." The coach also identified Jones as a standout performer during organized team activities.
Maybe the duo flourishes in the new offensive scheme, but the Buccaneers would be far better served by acquiring a proven veteran in his prime to solidify the running game.
The Buccaneers haven't had a 1,000-yard back since the 2015 campaign. Barber's 871 rushing yards were the most by an individual over the last three seasons.
Tampa Bay's lack of financial flexibility is the biggest obstacle to trading for Gordon. The Buccaneers have $8.36 million in available salary-cap space, which likely isn't enough to take him on at his preferred price.
As such, some roster manipulation is necessary to make something happen. It'll likely come through the inclusion of a significant contract that still appeals to the Chargers.
Gordon Compensation: Cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III and 2020 sixth-round pick
The deal serves as a swap of former top draft picks. Hargreaves is only 24 years old, plays a premium position and remains under contract through the 2020 campaign (since Tampa Bay exercised his rookie fifth-year option). The Chargers are strong in the secondary, but a team can never have too many talented corners, and Hargreaves could use a change of venue after three up-and-down campaigns.
