Buccaneers Free Agent Spotlight: S, LaMarcus Joyner

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a terrible secondary in 2018 and with holes at arguably every situation apart from 1 corner location (Carlton Davis) and solid protection (Justin Evans), the team could be instore for a enormous overhaul. The 3rd defensive again up on our Free of charge company location gentle listing is protection LaMarcus Joyner of the Los Angeles Rams.

LaMarcus Joyner’s Profession

Joyner was a 2nd round draft choose of the then St. Louis Rams again in 2014. Underneath Jeff Fisher, Joyner never ever truly acquired the chance to be a full-time starter with the workforce, but then came Sean McVay and Wade Phillips. Given that the arrival of all those two, Joyner has remodeled himself into a beginning free protection in the NFL and has begun every game he has played in in the past two yrs, Joyner has 127 blended tackles, 97 solo tackles and four interceptions.

In 2018, Joyner was the 28th rated protection in the NFL with an overall grade of 73.1. He graded out the ideal in move speeding at 85.2 and the worst in coverage at 70.9. He was fairly typical in the operate protection with a grade of 74.8.

Now, some roster moves are envisioned that will free up some room, but huge free agent contracts will be tricky to appear by. In accordance to Spotrac.com, Joyner’s market worth is set at $10.6 million pounds. Ouch.

Will It Come about?

I can not see this signing occurring. Although Joyner would be an update on the again conclude of the protection, I just think there are as well lots of holes to fill and the workforce can not manage to throw virtually $11 million pounds at a soon to be 29 yr previous protection. That $11 million could be expended on multiple cornerbacks or even a cornerback and an offensive lineman. If the Buccaneers had near to $70 million in cap room, I would give it a 50-50 chance, but with the existing range remaining what it is, I just really don’t see it
