Bucs, Cardinals trade draft picks as part of Bruce Arians deal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals actually traded draft picks as part of a deal for Bruce Arians.

The Bucs hired Arians on Tuesday as their new head coach, giving him a four-year deal with an option for a fifth. The Cardinals argued that they held Arians’ rights since he retired after last season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, rather than have a contractual dispute about Arians’ rights, the sides agreed to swap draft picks for Arians.

The Bucs sent Arizona their 2019 6th-round pick and receive Arians and a 2019 7th-round pick in return.

Arians is reportedly planning to add Todd Bowles, Byron Leftwich and Harold Goodwin as assistant coaches on his staff.
