REPORT: Tampa Bay Bucs Attempting To Trade TE O.J. Howard

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be changing the make-up of their offense yet again this offseason, but this time, it will be the tight position.

The Athletic’s Michael Lombardi told “The GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi and Adnan Virk” that the Buccaneers have some sort of “instinctive issue” with Howard and could trade him next week.

Lombardi says he was told by a league source that Bucs are trying to trade O.J. Howard: "I think Howard's got a great name, but I think there's an instinctive issue going on. I think he's going to be available." Said he wouldn't be surprised if he's traded next week. (28:30 mark) https://t.co/BtsoLD5Fjv

During the 2019 season, Howard caught 34 passes for 459 yards and just one touchdown.

Sucks for Howard as he likely thought he would have a QB to put this team over the edge, only for trade rumors to creep in just days before the NFL Draft.
