Buccaneers Exploring Trade Possibilities With Shaq Mason

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are exploring trade possibilities with offensive guard Shaq Mason, according to sources. Mason could become a salary cap casualty if he isn't traded because of his $9.6 million cap hit in 2023. The 29-year-old former fourth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2015 spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career with New England before joining the Bucs in 2022. In his first year in Tampa, he didn't miss a single game and started 17 contests. In his eight years in the league, Mason has played in 120 games, starting 115 of them.
