The Buccaneers have interest in running back Jerick McKinnon, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com (on Twitter). McKinnon could be a fit for Tampa Bay’s backfield following the release of Doug Martin.
On Tuesday morning, the Bucs re-signed exclusive rights free agent Peyton Barber, who also figures to be a key component in the running game. McKinnon may not have the build to carry the ball 17 times per game, but he could combine with Barber to make a formidable combo at running back.
Heading into free agency, I ranked McKinnon as one of the 50 best players available and ranked him third amongst all running backs based on ability.
A return to Minnesota has not been officially ruled out for McKinnon, but he has been vocal about his desire for a larger role.
