Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean is under scrutiny as he enters his third year of a four-year, $52 million deal, particularly due to a hefty $15 million cap hit looming for next season. With the Buccaneers bolstering their secondary by drafting two corners in the recent draft, the team might consider cutting or trading Dean to alleviate some financial pressure while enhancing their roster.

CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin speculates that the Las Vegas Raiders could be interested in acquiring Dean, citing his experience and the Buccaneers' potential need to clear cap space. Despite his contributions, Dean may be seen as more serviceable than indispensable at his high price, which could lead to a significant shakeup in Tampa Bay's defensive lineup as they aim to retain their NFC South crown.
