The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the market for a cornerback this upcoming draft and could target Denver Broncos Riley Moss. According to a FOX Sports source<\/a>, amid the loss of Jamel Dean<\/a>, the Buccaneers have acknowledged the team needs to address the cornerback position. To no surprise, Tampa Bay targeting Moss would be easily the best replacement in their situation. Moss is entering the final year of his contract anyway, and if he performs up to par with the Buccaneers, he could earn himself a massive payday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Broncos could afford to let Moss walk via a trade, and that would give them some additional draft picks either way after trading for Jaylen Waddle earlier this offseason. This blockbuster trade makes too much sense for both sides, and it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if it happens on night 1 of the NFL Draft this month.<\/p>\n

Buccaneers, Broncos Connected in Latest Blockbuster Riley Moss Trade<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why this Buccaneers-Broncos trade is bound to work wonders. If Tampa Bay wants to offer a player to make the deal sweeter, they could. However, they won\u2019t be giving up someone like Sean Tucker to the Broncos. The Buccaneers just lost Rachaad White to the Washington Commanders in free agency.<\/p>\n

As for the Broncos, the team has one of the best depth in its cornerback room. Between Ja\u2019Quan McMillan, Patrick Surtain<\/a> and Jahdae Barron, the Broncos are in good shape. Moss is entering a pivotal time in his career at 26-years-old, so the Buccaneers won\u2019t be the only team that could be interested in his services.<\/p>\n

Other Fits
\nDallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

The most obvious destination for Moss is the Dallas Cowboys. The team had one of the worst cornerback units in the league last season, which they have yet to address. Despite signing Jalen Thompson and PJ Locke to somewhat improve the overall secondary, they can\u2019t afford to walk into the season expecting Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick to step up. With DaRon Bland<\/a> always battling injuries, the Cowboys need a true ballhawker, and while they have options in this year\u2019s draft, they\u2019re better off getting Moss.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s arguably a better versatile defender who could make an impact over Shavon Revel Jr. He could make the splash plays down the field and could change the trajectory of this Dallas defense.<\/p>\n

Baltimore Ravens<\/p>\n

For the Ravens, they have an aging cornerback in Marlon Humphrey, who\u2019s expected to garner trade interest<\/a> during this year\u2019s NFL Draft. Baltimore re-signed Chidobe Awuzie to a new deal, but it\u2019s not enough to address their cornerback woes. Nate Wiggins<\/a> is a good starter, but he needs help if the Ravens want a change. Don\u2019t be surprised if Jesse Minter targets Moss to address the issue, which would likely spell the end of Humphrey.<\/p>\n

Chicago Bears<\/p>\n

If anyone needs a decent overhaul in their secondary, it\u2019s the Chicago Bears. The team is starting from scratch after losing<\/a> Nahshon Wright, Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker, who were all pivotal pieces to the success of defending the air attack. While they brought in Coby Bryant and Cam Lewis, it wouldn\u2019t hurt for the team to upgrade the cornerback room. With Jaylon Johnson<\/a> always injured, it\u2019s safe for the Bears to target Moss as a potential replacement that would allow Chicago to move on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the market for a cornerback this upcoming draft and could target Denver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2062],"tags":[4955,849,232,741,436,3430,231,258,1151,2426,7,117922,16149,114345,7142,6,835,10420,1514,14443],"class_list":{"0":"post-869366","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denver-broncos","8":"tag-2026-nfl-draft","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens-news","10":"tag-broncos","11":"tag-chicago-bears-news","12":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","13":"tag-daron-bland","14":"tag-denver","15":"tag-denver-broncos","16":"tag-denver-broncos-news","17":"tag-denverbroncos","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-jaquan-mcmillan","20":"tag-jaylon-johnson","21":"tag-lastest-nfl-news","22":"tag-marlon-humphrey","23":"tag-nfl","24":"tag-nfl-news","25":"tag-ravens-featured","26":"tag-riley-moss","27":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116427325749496881","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
