Much of the focus for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason has been on the future of Mike Evans.
Set to test free agency, naturally, all of the attention is going on Mike's future, but as we've stated previously, the Buccaneers have the receivers already on the roster to cope with Evans' potential departure.
But there are other areas of the offense that need attention, and one position of need has perhaps flown under the radar, and that is offensive line.
For Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine, he's named two potential free agency candidates the Buccaneers could pursue.
"The Bucs have the firepower to succeed on offense, even if Mike Evans leaves," Ballentine writes. "The interior of the offensive line is the low-hanging fruit. Isaac Seumalo or David Edwards would elevate the interior."

Upgrading Mayfield's protection a must
By upgrading, we mean either with starters, like Edwards, who would cost a pretty penny in free agency, or adequate backups, because we know the injury troubles Baker's offensive line had last season.
Drafting is also an option for the Buccaneers, although we get the feeling that defense will be where the franchise goes.
But will Todd Bowles and the front office be proactive in fortifying Baker's protection?
We saw what it looked like when injuries started to pile up, and having some quality veteran backups (or starters) on the roster could help propel Tampa Bay back into the postseason.
