Alex Cappa had options to leave central Florida this past offseason, and the choice to stay put was pretty appealing as well.
For the second year in a row, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were trying to run it back with the core of their team. Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette, Giovani Bernard, Carlton Davis, and Ryan Jensen were all retained after Tom Brady dropped a bombshell that he would not retire and play a 23rd season in the NFL.
Brady managed to convince Jensen to stick around as his center. He already lost left guard Ali Marpet to a sudden retirement out of the blue, so losing his right guard in Cappa would hurt even more.
