The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could benefit from a defensive back in free agency this offseason.

That's part of the reason why The Athletic writer Mike Jones suggests that the Bucs should sign San Francisco 49ers star Charvarius Ward.

Ward to the Bucs?

"The Buccaneers have a strong defensive front anchored by Vita Vea, but they really could benefit from adding a top-flight cornerback like Ward. He seems likely to depart San Francisco after a trying 2024, which included the death of his 1-year-old daughter, and could potentially benefit from a change of scenery," Jones writes.

Ward has a Super Bowl ring with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he could be on the hunt for another one as he also looks for a fresh start. Joining the Bucs, who should be the favorites to win another NFC South crown, would help him achieve that goal.
