TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 17 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents when the new league year begins in March. In Part 1 of this series, I ranked the players who were the biggest priorities to re-sign -- defensive end William Gholston, running back Jacquizz Rodgers and center Joe Hawley.
Part 2 is a ranking of players 4-8 who are also priorities -- perhaps not quite as pressing as the first three but still an integral part of the team's 9-7 finish last year.
