Summary

The Bucs were miserable defensively last season, ranking 30th overall. Tampa was especially torched against the rush, ranking dead last while allowing an amazing 26-rushing TDs. There wasn't another team in the league that gave up at least 20-rushing scores. Needless to say, this is a concern area for the Bucs for the coming season. The Bucs did add some new talent in free agency and the draft but probably not that impact guy to really turn this weakness around. The pass defense should be improved with rookie safety Mark Barron added to the mix. Aqib Talib has endured some struggles but still is a talented player with the upside to be a shutdown corner. The special teams for the Bucs are so so with Preston Parker and Sammie Stroughter handling the return duties. Both are decent in this area but not off the charts. They do have the ability to break some long plays, though.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Bucs aren't much of a fantasy factor these days. Their defense will produce a few turnovers, but won't get you many sacks and will give up a lot of yards and points. Tampa should be improved some on last season but that isn't saying much. They aren't a team fantasy teams should target come draft day.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Eric Wright is expected to be retained by the team in 2013. The team still likes his skill set and upside and believe he can still be an asset. 'He's been a reliable player,' head coach Greg Schiano said. 'He had some things that kind of tripped him up (last year), but he has been reliable - not only here but in other places where coaches on our staff have been with him. If I didn't feel there was good there, we would have already separated from him, but there is good there.'

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are holding off on releasing CB Eric Wright at this point because the guarantees in his contract became void after his suspension so they can wait on deciding on his future. The team could look to restructure Wright's contract if they are not able to add talent to their secondary but that appears unlikely.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could decide this week whether to release CB Eric Wright or see if he would be willing to receive a pay cut in order to stay. If the team believes they can acquire an upgrade at the position for equal or lesser value, they probably will release Wright.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Eric Wright may return to the team in 2013 if he is willing to accept a reduction in pay. He's set to earn $7.75 million this year, but the Bucs have lost some faith in him after an inconsistent season. He missed playing time due to injuries and was also suspended four games for Adderall use. Should the Buccaneers feel there is an upgrade available for similar or less value, they may opt to simply cut ties with Wright. He lost the guarantee tied to his 2013 salary due to the suspension.
