Buccaneers are interested in trading for Todd Gurley

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have set their sights on All-Pro running back Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams, according to Cecil Lammey of 1043 The Fan.

Michael Silver of NFL.com noted Gurley’s name is “coming up in trade talks” on Monday. Back in December, he pointed to “Gurley’s high salary and declining production may make him a cap casualty.”

Gurley isn’t set to hit unrestricted free agency until 2024. While he could opt-out in 2022, he is slated to make approximately $7.5 million in terms of base salary alone in 2023.

Shortly after netting a commitment from Tom Brady, the Bucs are also looking for a speedy wide receiver to go along with the towering Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
