The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been rumored to make some sort of bold move this offseason in the form of a trade. Whether it was by making one to acquire some talent, or to send a player away, something seems like it is bound to happen.

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report gave a prediction this week that sees the Bucs being the ones sending a player away.

Moton gave his prediction of seven trades that could shake up the NFL offseason on Bleacher Report. One of those trades included the Bucs sending away cornerback Jamel Dean to the Bills who have a big hole at the position.

He writes, "The Buccaneers need change in the secondary. Despite finishing within the top nine in pressure rate and sacks, they ranked 29th in passing yards allowed last season, which points to an issue on the back end of the defensive unit. If Tampa Bay targets a cornerback early in the upcoming draft, Dean may be available for a Super Bowl-contending squad looking to fill a need."

The Bucs have been tied to a lot of different cornerback prospects in mock drafts as of late, such as Maxwell Hairston, Darien Porter, and Shavon Revel. If they do draft one, it makes sense to move on from Dean, as the move would unclutter things and also save the team money.

Time will tell, but there have been worse ideas than sending away a veteran player for a projected fifth-round pick, as Moton suggests.
