After the surprising success the Tampa Bay Buccaneers enjoyed in 2023, the next step for them is to find a way to keep their momentum into 2024. While signing Baker Mayfield to an extension is at the top of their priority list, other positions within the team could use improvements.
One aspect that could use a boost this offseason is the offensive line. While they aren’t the weakest in the NFL, a boost in their performance could help boost the team’s chances when it matters most.
There is a wealth of talent the team can target in the offseason, and one player should immediately make them into an interesting team when September rolls around.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to move for Tennessee OL Aaron Brewer
One of the top offensive linemen the Buccaneers could target Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Aaron Brewer during the offseason to boost an offensive line that was underwhelming for much of the season.
Scott Reynolds of Pewter Report suggested the lineman as a possible replacement for Robert Hainsey in 2024. While he’s undersized at 6’1″ and 295 lbs, he more than makes up for it with his elite athleticism to battle it out with the league’s best defensive tackles.
Keith Carter, Brewer’s former o-line coach at Tennessee, could not stop singing praises for the 26-year-old:
“Aaron is an unbelievable athlete,” Carter said. “So, he has a really unbelievable way to recover when he gets stuck in some bad positions. For him, it’s getting as big as he can, but not losing that part of his game. And then just being consistent from a technique standpoint. I think he’s come a long way and I am excited to see where he goes.”
The Titans only gave Aaron Brewer a one-year contract last year, and he made sure they regret not giving him a bigger contract. Despite playing for an underperforming Titans in 2023, he established himself as a solid lineman.
If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers manage to keep Mayfield, they could convince Brewer to make the jump and compete with an exciting NFC team.
