Trades in the NFL are a relatively rare occurrence, but when they do happen, they can have enormous consequences for the teams involved. The Buccaneers are no stranger to big offseason trades, sending a third-round pick to the New York Giants for defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul last year. With a new coach and a limited amount of cap space, the Bucs may again look for a trade partner to bolster the roster.

The most obvious potential partner for the Bucs would be head coach Bruce Arians’ former team, the Arizona Cardinals. Many of his former players are still under contract and the Cardinals’ poor showing last year could make Arizona more easily persuaded to part with them.

Otherwise the Bucs will be looking to fill holes on the roster that would be difficult to address in free agency and the draft. The secondary in a particular is an area where the Bucs need talent and experience, and the free agent market isn’t especially strong this year. The Bucs could also look for offensive line help, particularly at right guard.

Here are three trade targets the Bucs should pursue this offseason:

CB Patrick Peterson

If the Bucs could make one blockbuster trade this year, it would be for Arizona’s shutdown CB Patrick Peterson. Under Arians, Peterson emerged as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. In eight seasons, Peterson racked up 23 interceptions and 76 pass breakups but his real value lies in his ability to lock down whatever side of the field he covers.

Peterson has been the subject of significant trade drama in the past few months. In October, Peterson very publicly demanded a trade out of Arizona but quickly retracted his request. Since then, Peterson insists he is a Cardinal and even apologized for requesting the trade.

The thing about trades is, the player only has so much power in deciding whether or not they happen. While a new coach in Arizona might go a long way to satisfy Peterson, that doesn’t mean the Bucs couldn’t offer a sweet deal to convince the Cardinals to change their minds. Such a trade would certainly involve the Bucs’ fifth-overall pick in the draft. Given Peterson’s proven coverage skills, the Bucs might find this a worthwhile sacrifice.
