Tampa Bay Buccaneers: ESPN sources say Philip Rivers is ‘real possibility’

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be making a decision in the next month on QB Jameis Winston as the franchise tag deadline looms large.

The Buccaneers can elect to use the tag on Winston, sign him to a long-term deal or sign him to a short-term deal. Right now, conventional wisdom says the Bucs will use the tag option as a way to further evaluate Winston without committing to him as the long-term option.

ESPN’s Jenna Laine detailed the decision process for the Buccaneers, including pros and cons for the organization.
