Breaking News: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Identified as Possible Destination for $6.7 Million Linebacker
Azeez Ojulari could benefit from more playing time to fully showcase his abilities, and recent NFL analysis suggests the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be a fitting destination for the New York Giants linebacker. Ojulari, who stressed the importance of teamwork following the Giants’ Week 3 win over the Cleveland Browns, believes a collective effort strengthens the team. His performance in the game reflected his commitment to that mindset, as he played a key role in the victory.
According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the Buccaneers are one of several teams that could be interested in acquiring Ojulari, who was drafted by the Giants in the second round of 2021 and recorded eight sacks in his rookie season. The Giants have since revamped their pass rush around players like Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, potentially leaving Ojulari in need of a bigger role elsewhere.
Tampa Bay, with their playoff ambitions and a need for edge rushers, could be a suitable landing spot for Ojulari, especially as they struggle with a league-low number of sacks. Other teams like the Raiders, 49ers, Bears, Cardinals, and Jets might also be in the mix, but Tampa Bay’s defensive needs and winning track record make them an ideal option. If Ojulari doesn’t stay with the Giants, the Buccaneers would provide a great opportunity for him to thrive.
