Are the Buccaneers shopping tight end O.J. Howard?

With the 19th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected tight end O.J. Howard out of the University of Alabama. The 6-6 and 250 pound tight end was a mismatch nightmare in college, and through the first two years of his career, he was serving notices to NFL defenses as well.

In just his third season, is Howard now on the trade block as this new Buccaneers coaching staff has not figured out a way to get the 24 year old tight end involved in their passing attack? According to Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, the Bucs could be interested in getting assets out of the young tight end as head coach Bruce Arians has never had much use for the tight end position throughout his coaching career.
