For the second straight season the Buccaneers are having dire issues with their pass catchers. Before the season started the team had hoped that Vincent Jackson, Adam Humphries, Kenny Bell and eventually Louis Murphy would be able to alleviate some pressure from Mike Evans, and allow them to wait another year before investing big in another receiver. Before long it became clear that their leap of faith was going to end in a concrete splatter instead of a bed of feathers.
With Vincent Jackson on the I.R., Louis Murphy suffering a set-back, and no receiver opposite Mike Evans that can win consistently, it should come as no surprise that the Buccaneers are now reportedly looking at potential trades for veteran receivers.
