The Bucs currently only have one safety under contract: Antoine Winfield Jr. With Mike Edwards signing in Kansas City, the need to address the safety position is greater than ever.

With only one safety on the roster, the Bucs will have little choice but to sign at least one free agent to help fill the position. The Bucs could bring back Logan Ryan or Keanu Neal, but neither are really starting material at this point in their careers. They could also reach out to former Bucs safeties Andrew Adams and Justin Evans, both of whom played under veteran minimum salaries last season and are still free agents.

It is likely the Bucs will also address the position in the NFL draft. Their top target would likely be Alabama S Brian Branch, who has a versatile skill set that can be deployed across the secondary.

The Bucs could also target prospects later in the draft. Texas A&M safety Antonio Johnson, Illinois S Sydney Brown and Florida State safety Jammie Robinson are all options for the Bucs during Day 2 of the draft.
