Buccaneers Free Agent Spotlight: OL Ja’Wuan James

It is no solution that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line last season, as a full was not pretty good. Bruce Arians, has stated a number of times that the offensive line desires improvement if the team is heading to have any type of accomplishment.

Outside the house of Ali Marpet and almost certainly Ryan Jensen since of his deal, the Buccaneers are undoubtedly hunting to see if they can increase at the other a few places. With the vertical offense of Arians coming to Tampa Bay, all possibilities need to be open up on improving upon the line, which delivers us to our future candidate, proper tackle Ja’Wuan James.

Ja’Wuan James Career

James has invested all five many years of his occupation with the Miami Dolphins following they chosen him with the 19th general select back again in the 2014 NFL draft. Due to the fact coming into the league in 2014, James has performed a total of 62 online games, but has had some accidents that held him back again in both of those 2015 and 2017. The best year of his occupation arrived in 2016, when he posted an general grade of 75.9 in accordance to PFF. In 2018, he was the 34th rated offensive tackle in the league, even though recent Buccaneers Demar Dotson, was the 44th rated tackle. In 2018, James authorized 26 pressures, 16 hurries and 7 sacks.

Why The Buccaneers Will need Him

With James, the Bucs would not greatly increase the position ought to they make the swap. Although James was the increased graded tackle, he and Demar have pretty comparable stats. Dotson gave up 25 pressures, 21 hurries, but only two sacks. James is not the biggest pass blocker and if Tampa Bay was to substitute Dotson, they much better be replacing him with a proper tackle who can keep up for 2-3 seconds every pass play. James would not be an rapid enhance at proper tackle for Tampa Bay.

What Will Da’Wuan James Price?

Da’Wuan James is not heading to charge a ton of money since he is not a top tackle in this league. I appear at the deal Demar Dotson received back again in 2015 and challenge James to command a little something comparable to that. Expect a deal in the 3-4 year variety with $16-$20 million pounds.

Will It Transpire?

I don’t see this move going on. James is proper in line with Demar Dotson in conditions of creation and for a further year, I imagine Tampa Bay would be much better of with Demar then committing to a further ordinary proper tackle for 3-4 extra many years. A lateral move at this stage is avoidable.
