The defensive line is a huge area of focus for the Bucs front office this off season. Although many are anticipating the NFL Draft to be where they pick up some young talent to pair up with Vita Vea, it would behoove the Bucs to also find a veteran that can jump in right away.
In 2020, the Bucs brought in former Jets defensive lineman Steve McLendon to help out when Vita Vea went down for the majority of the season. It panned out for the most part since he was capable of jumping right in and immediately start playing following the trade.
