There are a lot of things that can be said about Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht. One element of his job, however, that is underrated, is his ability to create team friendly contracts. No matter who the player is, he always seems to put the team in a position to get out of a contract and not put the team in a hole.
J.R. Sweezy was signed by the team as a veteran replacement for Logan Mankins. Unfortunately for the Bucs, he took much longer to recover from his surgery than anyone expected. He is finally cleared, but obviously the situation has changed.
