Who is the Buccaneers' most tradable player?
One writer opes that it's running back Bucky Irving.
This is Joe Spencer for Bucs Roundtable.
Irving has played two seasons in the NFL thus far.
One of them was very good.
That was his rookie season in twenty twenty-four.
The other, he struggled.
A combination of injuries led to him missing seven games, and the games he did play, he wasn't at his best, still hampered by a shoulder that eventually required surgery.
John Kosko of Pro Football Focus did an article detailing who he feels every team's most valuable trade asset is, and Irving was the pick, for the Bucs.
A combination of things such as what Irving could get as far as draft capital goes, and Kosko believing that running backs are easier to find in later rounds made Irving the pick here.
But realistically, there isn't anything out there right now that indicates the Bucs are looking to move on from Irving.
They signed Kenneth Gainwell most likely to be a complement to Irving and not to replace him as RB one.
So Irving isn't going anywhere unless things come out that suggest otherwise.
This is Joe Smeltzer for Bucs Roundtable.
