3 former Buccaneers players who could potentially return this offseason.

After the Tom Brady era officially came to an end this offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in transition mode. A new era is about to dawn, and the exciting part about that is no one really knows what it will look like.

Despite an uncertain future, the Bucs are planning on competing this season the same as they have the previous three. Things look different, but there are enough pieces in place for the Bucs to at least make a run at an NFC South title, if not a Wild Card spot.

Part of getting to that point will involve proper roster construction, which could mean bringing back some players who were purged earlier in the offseason. Tampa Bay was $55 million over the cap at the start of the new league year but managed to navigate that by making some tough decisions on expendable veterans.

With training camp around the corner and a handful of former Bucs players still looking for work, could a reunion be in store?

Keep in mind that this is all hypothetical and potentially not logical given the current state of the Bucs books. According to Overhead, Tampa Bay has less than $1 million in cap space, which is dead last in the NFL.

Minnesota is the next closest team with $1.1 million in cap space, and even they are finding it hard to make moves. So, if the Bucs are going to bring anyone back — which is a good idea in certain situations — corresponding moves will need to be made.

Let’s pick at that thread for a moment and look at a world where the Bucs do free up some space; which former players make sense for a reunion in Tampa Bay?
