When healthy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the NFL's better three-headed monsters at wideout.

The problem is the group's recent inability to stay healthy.

Mike Evans battles multiple injuries each year that cause him to miss a certain amounts of time. Chris Godwin appears to be fully recovered from his 2021 ACL injury, but still missed two games last year after injuring his hamstring in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

And then there's Russell Gage, the veteran wideout the Bucs signed to a three-year, $30 million contract before the start of the 2022 season. A hamstring injury suffered during the early portion of training camp kept Gage from being the guy the Bucs needed last year.

And this year, he's already battling another injury.

It's an undisclosed one, but it was severe enough to hold him out of the Bucs' entire offseason program. Whether that was simply a matter of the team being cautious is unknown, but still, that's not something anyone wants to hear, right now.

As it stands, the team can't -and shouldn't- rely on Gage's health heading into 2023. The Buccaneers receiver room has bodies, but the depth is extremely inexperienced outside of David Moore, who hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 5 of the 2021 season.

Adding another viable slot option -a veteran option- would be a great idea heading into training camp. Sure, the Bucs still have Godwin on the roster, but the team wants him to play outside more in 2023. Either way, having another option that knows what they're doing is almost a must, at this point.

Enter four-time Pro Bowler and former member of the New Orleans Saints, Jarvis Landry.

Per Pro Football Focus, Landry spent more than 66% of his time in the slot last year and he's rotated between the slot and the perimeter throughout his entire career. He definitely isn't the player he once was, but he's experienced and he has a reliable pair of hands, evidenced by his zero drops and receiving grade of 90.5, which tied for 10th-best among all receivers with at least 23 slot targets in 2022.

He won't be expensive, either. Last year, the Saints paid Landry $3 million for a season that resulted in 25 receptions for 272-yards and one receiving touchdown. That's very important for a team like the Bucs, who have just a little more than $1.4 million in cap space.

But most importantly for the Bucs – Landry represents insurance. He gives the offense a second slot option (who can also play outside if absolutely needed) in case something goes wrong (or even more wrong) with Gage. His presence would also keep the unit on track with Godwin.

And, of course, there's the past connection with Baker Mayfield in Cleveland. The duo formed a pretty nice combo when they played for the Browns and I'm sure they'd be able to rekindle that, to an extent, in Tampa Bay.

In all, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Adding a guy like Landry would only help the team and it's a move that should be considered heading into training camp.

Buccaneers Training Camp Battle: Right Guard

The Buccaneers offensive line was not good last year and there are big changes in store for 2023, including the right guard position.
