Buccaneers Pick Up CB Vernon Hargreaves’ Fifth-Year Option

PewterReport.com reports that the Buccaneers have activated CB Vernon Hargreaves‘ fifth-year option through the 2020 season. 

The fifth-year option will cost them over $9 million.

Hargreaves, 23, is a former first-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2016. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $14.17 million contract that includes $14.17 million guaranteed.

He landed on Tampa Bay’s injured reserve back after Week 1 due to a shoulder injury but is expected to now be at full health. 

In 2018, Hargreaves appeared in just one game and recorded seven total tackles, one forced fumble, and no interceptions.
