Buccaneers appear likely to keep Donovan Smith around

The NFL’s franchise tag window opens up Tuesday, which means the Buccaneers have some decisions to make soon. Donovan Smith is a prime candidate for the tag, which has led to speculation for months about his future. Plenty of fans don’t want anything to do with giving Smith big money, but he could be getting a nice payday soon.

In a Monday article from ESPN’s NFL Nation reporters predicting franchise tag decisions, Jenna Laine made it clear that Tampa Bay will be keeping its left tackle for at least one more year.
