​The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have long lived and died on the hill that their linebackers have built over the years. When their defense has been dominant, the play of their linebackers has led the charge. However, as we saw in 2025, when they do not have the depth or high-level play, they are at the mercy of opposing offenses.Now, going into 2026, the team has revamped its group after the retirement of Lavonte David. They brought in Alex Anzalone in free agency and drafted Josiah Trotter. Both of them should bring new energy to the position, but it leaves SirVocea Dennis out in the cold.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat is where a trade now makes sense for the young linebacker.Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton recently wrote up one trade every NFL team should consider making and he mentioned the Bucs need to move on from Dennis. He writes, “Tampa Bay revamped its linebacker unit with the addition of Alex Anzalone, Christian Rozeboom and rookie second-rounder Josiah Trotter. Although Dennis started in 16 games, logging 101 tackles (10 for loss), three sacks and an interception with the club in the previous season, he may be expendable because of the new acquisitions. It’s also worth noting the three-year pro allowed a 122 passer rating last year. Dennis’ limitations on passing downs could cost him a roster spot.”Dennis has a role somewhere in 2026, it just shouldn’t be with the Bucs based on their depth chart.This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: Bucs suggested to try and trade away an underperforming linebacker
