Return of Brent Grimes can’t be overlooked The Buccaneers made plenty of moves this offseason. General manager Jason Licht was busy piecing together a new defensive line. He worked out two notable contract extensions with Mike Evans and Cameron Brate Ronald Jones Jersey , while also improving the offensive line by inking Ryan Jensen to a deal. Then, of course, there was the 2018 NFL Draft. Licht’s moves throughout the offseason were made with an eye on the big picture. However, one move will have more of a short-term impact, which is perfectly okay. That move was the re-signing of 35-year-old cornerback Brent Grimes. The veteran’s future seemed uncertain after last season, but he decided to return to Tampa on a one-year deal back in March. Grimes might not be a long-term piece for the Buccaneer defense, but his presence this year could greatly impact the future. The fact that Licht was able to bring him back shouldn’t get lost among the rest of this offseason’s moves.Based on production alone, Grimes’ return is important. He has played 29 games for the Bucs in the last two seasons, racking up 106 tackles, seven interceptions and 35 passes defended. His playmaking ability has been on full display throughout his time in Tampa, which has been especially impressive considering his increasing age. Having Grimes on the field again this year is going to be a major help for the new-look Tampa Bay defense. Production isn’t the only thing he brings to the table. The stability he is providing by sticking around for another year will help the development of a young Buccaneer secondary. Vernon Hargreaves III is still young and unproven as a corner in the NFL. It’s even possible that he may be better suited for the slot position. The team should be able to figure that out this year, but that might not have been possible without Grimes coming back. Without him holding down one of the outside spots, Hargreaves may have been forced to move to the outside out of sheer necessity. Now Womens Beau Allen Jersey , Tampa Bay will be able to see exactly what they have in the 2016 first-rounder. Hargreaves isn’t the only youngster in the secondary. This year’s draft class brought along two new corners in M.J. Stewart and Carlton Davis. Both guys have high upside, but their development can go at an appropriate pace due to Grimes’ presence. With the vet occupying one outside spot, Davis may be able to ease in as a No. 2 while Stewart rotates between the inside and outside. Without Grimes, the Bucs may have been looking at Hargreaves as a No. 1 and Davis as a very close No. 2 that might have been burdened with developing into the top guy very early in his first year. Grimes’ return allows Tampa Bay some time to develop its up-and-comers. Not only that, but the younger players at the position can learn from his experience in the league. He has been in the NFL for 11 seasons, playing at a high level for the majority of his career. There’s a lot for the newcomers to gain from him. Just think, his return wasn’t always a sure thing. The Bucs should be very happy that it happened. Undrafted rookies have big obstacles to making it to the NFL just by virtue of the way they enter the league and linebacker Kahzin Daniels has another issue to deal with as he bids to land a job with the Buccaneers.Daniels has been blind in his right eye since an accident when he was five years old. He had to wear an eye patch and said teasing from other kids “really created a person that was introverted and really focused.”That focus landed on football and Daniels played well enough to produce 34.5 sacks while at Division II Charleston. Teams scouting Daniels didn’t find out about his right eye until February of this year and an NFL Network profile brought his story to a wider range of people. Daniels said he hopes to inspire others with roadblocks in their way.“People reach out to me, letting me know about their kids and how they’re getting into sports and overcoming challenges that they’re facing every day,” Daniels said, via Rick Stroud of the . “There’s tons of kids that are inspiring by going out and achieving their goals. I have a platform now, and I look forward to reaching out to more kids and just inspiring more kids and people in general to just do what they want to do. Don’t let a disability stop you from doing anything you want to do in life.”Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said he doesn’t think Daniels “has any limitations” and was “pretty solid” coming off the edge at rookie minicamp practices. He’ll now start working with more experienced members of the team as his push for a roster spot continues in Tampa.
