Bucs Resign Bennett

The Bucs have decided that Michael Bennett is worth bringing back to keep his speed and home run hitting ability in the back field. With Bennett resigning, it will be interesting to see if the Bucs target another RB in FA or the draft.

I certainly wouldn't be shocked if they drafted another RB in rounds 3-5, especially with a deep class this year. Cadillac isn't likely to play next year, as patella tendon tears take a long time to fully heal. And when it does, there is no telling how he will play. Bennett can definitely compliment Graham as a one-two punch, but Bennett will need to get to the point that he can be in on at least a third of the offensive plays. It was clear Graham got worn down a little bit late in the season, and will need to be rested at times. Throwing solid power and decent quickness at a team, and following up with good power and home run speed, can give the Bucs the mix they need to really burn defenses, especially a Bennett learns how to become a better receiver. But he is 29 years old, so the Bucs need to keep their eye on the future.
