Greenard could be an immediate fix for a struggling pass rush

If there is one position that the Buccaneers have the hardest time staffing, it is outside linebacker. Tampa Bay's edge play continues to be one of the major flaws on an otherwise solid roster. Yet again, the Bucs face an offseason in which they will likely have little choice but to devote major resources to upgrading the outside linebacker position.Tampa Bay's issues at the position go back as far as 2021, when they drafted Joe Tryon-Shoyinka with the 32nd pick to plan for the eventual decline and departures of Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul. Tryon-Shoyinka never developed into a legitimate starting NFL pass rusher and was allowed to depart in free agency last offseason.The Bucs did manage to find a diamond in the rough in 2023 when they drafted Yaya Diaby in the 3rd round. He has been Tampa Bay's best outside linebacker since and should have a long-term contract to sign sooner rather than later. He led the Bucs with seven sacks in 2025 and leads the team with 19 sacks since he was drafted. There is no question that he will be a starter in Tampa Bay for years to come.However, the Bucs cannot move forward with Diaby as their best pass rusher. He lacks the technique and quickness to consistently beat NFL offensive tackles, relying on power and motor. Tampa Bay tried to address this by signing Haason Reddick last offseason, but their hopes that Reddick would rebound from a disastrous 2024 campaign with the New York Jets never materialized. Reddick recorded just 2.5 sacks and just 34 pressures to Diaby's 62 per PFF.Reddick will a free agent this offseason and is not expected to return to Tampa Bay. Again, the Bucs find themselves in search of a new starter at outside linebacker.There are no other outside linebackers in Tampa Bay that have a legitimate shot of rising up to start across from Diaby. 2024 second-round pick Chris Braswell simply is not a good enough athlete to be anything more than a rotational edge defender. Veteran Anthony Nelson is solid to start in a pinch. After all, he almost single-handedly won Tampa Bay's Week 8 matchup against the Saints. Still, he lacks the ability to be a full-time starter.The Bucs drafted David Walker in the fourth round of last year's draft, but he tore his ACL in training camp and missed the entire season. While he was a dominant pass rusher for Central Arkansas, he played against lesser competition and now must work his way back from a major injury that usually takes two years to fully return to form. Tampa Bay cannot expect Walker to save them.Tampa Bay's defensive struggles not only in 2025 but over the last few years stem from its inability to generate quarterback pressure with just four rushers. While head coach Todd Bowles is prolific with the blitz, a four-man rush is the foundation of nearly every successful defense, such as the Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks. The Bucs' urgent need to upgrade the position puts nearly every possible scenario on the table.That starts with exploring a trade for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby. One of the best pass rushers in the NFL, Crosby has recorded 69.5 sacks over seven seasons despite having dubious talent playing around him. His displeasure playing for a team perennially drafting in the top-five that also chose to sit him in their season finale appears to have made him a trade target for half of the NFL.The problem will be the price tag. To execute the trade, the Raiders may be looking for two first-round picks and a star player in the vein of the Micah Parsons trade, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That would be on top of playing Crosby's hefty salary. He is entering the second year of a five-year contract that averages $35 million per year and would add nearly $31 million to Tampa Bay's 2026 salary cap.The comparison to the Parsons deal may not be in Las Vegas' best interests, as it did not yield greater postseason success for Green Bay while stripping them of premium future resources. Crosby's cap hit alone could make such a deal unfeasible for Tampa Bay, as they have just $23 million in cap space. Even with restructures to players like Tristan Wirfs, Bucs ownership may balk at spending on Crosby in addition to bringing pending free agents like Mike Evans back in 2026.A trade is about the only way the Bucs are going to be able to acquire a top-tier veteran pass rusher this offseason. The free agent class is rather weak. Eagles EDGE Jaelan Phillips is arguably the best pass rusher available, but it is doubtful any team is going to hinge their plans on a player who medically retired at one point in college and suffered ACL and Achilles tears since he was drafted in 2021.Another free agent option would be Odafe Oweh, who was traded to the Chargers by the Ravens in 2025. Oweh was taken only a few picks before Tryon-Shoyinka, and though they appeared to be on similar paths to mediocrity, Oweh has actually started to come into his own as a pass rusher, recording 17.5 sacks over the last two seasons. If he makes it to the open market, the Bucs may have to shell out considerable cash to secure Oweh's services.Even if the Bucs cannot find a true starter in free agency, they could certainly try to upgrade their rotation. New England OLB K'Lavon Chaisson appeared to finally find his footing in 2025 after appearing to be a first-round bust up that point. With the Patriots, Chaisson finally demonstrated consistent pass rush, even if his tackling still leaves a lot to be desired.Fortunately for the Bucs, they do not need to rely solely on free agency or trades to upgrade their outside linebacker corps. This year's draft class is particularly well stocked at edge rusher. One of the more popular mock draft selections for the Bucs this year is Texas A&M's Cashius Howell, and there is some legitimate credence to this pairing.Howell has been a consistent performer over the last three seasons, posting no worse than a 19% pass rush win rate along with 25 total sacks and 33 tackles for a loss. He doesn't have the size or general stoutness that Todd Bowles prefers in his outside linebackers, but he is one of the best pass rushers in this year's class.Another option is Clemson's T.J. Parker. After a strong 2024, Parker appeared to take a step back in 2025 along with the rest of the Clemson roster. His impressive performance in the Senior Bowl would indicate that Parker has more to offer an NFL team than his mediocre 2025 might otherwise indicate.A sleeper to monitor is Auburn linebacker Keyron Crawford. A former basketball player who only started playing football his senior year in high school, Crawford is a little raw, but his athleticism is undeniable. He would be better as a supplemental addition to Tampa Bay's edge rotation, but he has the potential to be a solid contributor in the NFL.This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: Bucs offseason preview of edge rushers for 2026

Mets pitcher Nolan McLean, whose arrival to camp ahead of the WBC has been delayed due to vertigo-like symptoms, is confident he'll join Team USA later this week.

Atlanta outfielder Jurickson Profar faces a 162-game suspension by Major League Baseball for a possible second failed test for a performance-enhancing drug, a person familiar with the issue told The Associated Press on Tuesday.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the process, first reported by ESPN, was ongoing.Profar intends to ask the players' association to file a grievance to appeal any discipline to baseballs independent arbitrator, Martin F, Scheinman, a second person familiar with the process said, also on condition of anonymity, because no announcement had been made.Because this would be Profar's second infraction, an appeal would take place after a suspension was announced. An All-Star in 2024, Profar was suspended for 80 games last March 31 following a positive test for Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), a hormone that helps production of testosterone. He issued a statement then saying: "I would never willingly take a banned substance, but I take full responsibility and accept MLBs decision.His agent, Dan Lozano, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Profar homered in his return from suspension on July 2 and finished with a .245 average, 14 homers, 43 RBIs and a .787 OPS in 80 games. He batted .280 in 2024, when he set career highs with 24 homers, 85 RBIs and an .839 OPS.Profar said at the start of spring training that he had sports hernia surgery in November, requiring a six-week recovery time. He has appeared in four spring training games this year, going 3 for 10 with three RBIs.A native of Curaao, Profar had been set to play for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.Under the suspension, he would be ineligible for the postseason.Profar would lose his $15 million salary for this year as part of a $42 million, three-year contract through 2027. He lost half his $12 million salary in 2025 due to the initial suspension.He would be the seventh player suspended 162 games for a second PED infraction after New York Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia (July 2015), Cleveland outfielder Marlon Byrd (June 2016), free agent catcher Cody Stanley (July 2016), Houston pitcher Francis Martes (February 2020), Mets second baseman Robinson Can (November 2020) and Milwaukee pitcher J.C. Mejia (September 2023).Mejia received a lifetime ban in February 2016 after a third positive test, the only player to be given a permanent ban since drug testing with penalties started in 2004.Four players have been suspended previously this year for positive tests, including free agent outfielder Max Kepler for 80 games under the major league program following a positive test for Epitrenbolone.Following the offseason signing of left fielder Mike Yastrzemski to a $23 million, two-year deal, Profar had been targeted to be the Braves primary designated hitter.When catcher Sean Murphy returns from a hip injury, perhaps in May, 2025 NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin could fill in at DH when not behind the plate.With Yastrzemski, Michael Harris and Ronald Acua Jr. in the outfield, Eli White could be a DH option. The Braves also are without projected starting shortstop Ha-seong Kim due to a finger injury. Mauricio Dubon, expected to serve a utility role, is scheduled to open the season as the starting shortstop.The loss of Profar could create an opportunity for Dominic Smith, who signed a minor league deal on Feb. 17.___AP Sports Writer Charles Odom contributed to this report.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
