The Buccaneers are expected to bring back quarterback Jameis Winston in 2020, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport reports that Tampa Bay hasn't decided whether to use the $27 million franchise tag or the $25 million transition tag on Winston, a pending unrestricted free agent. The team is also slated to keep outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who is also a pending free agent and the league leader in sacks (16.5). The franchise tag for a linebacker is expected to be nearly $16 million, while the transition tag would reach nearly $14 million.
The Buccaneers' reported decision to retain Winston is partly influenced by his improvement under coach Bruce Arians.
