NFL Rumors: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Linked To Veteran Running Back

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going through a massive re-tool this off-season as they look to deal with life after a very successful stint with Tom Brady at the helm, and now with Baker Mayfield seemingly assuming the starting role, they'll be looking to compete for a wide open NFC South crown. 

After being in salary cap hell just a few months ago, the team have made some solid moves since, and now, they have officially been linked to former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, as they are reportedly looking for RB2 behind young standout back Rachaad White.

Update: #Bucs could potentially sign former #Cowboys RB Zeke Elliott, per @JFowlerESPN

Fowler was told that the Bucs are "Looking for RB2 behind Rachaad White." and added that Zeke could be an option for them.

There's still a mutual interest to have Zeke return to the only NFL team he's called home throughout his career, but this would certainly be a move that makes sense, and with his options potentially dwindling, expect to see him signed over the next few months.
