Ryan Jensen injury 3 free agent centers Tom Brady s Buccaneers must consider
Super Bowl LV - Ryan Jensen celebrates victory could miss the entire season due to a knee injury sustained in practice on Thursday. He was carted off the field, giving most an indication that he will be gone for quite some time. If that is the case, the team needs to mobilize a plan to get a replacement ready. While free agency has long since ended, the Buccaneers have a few interesting options available. Here's a look at three centers still available on the market that should be strongly considered.#1 - Matt Paradis
Carolina Panthers v Los Angeles Chargers Despite the injury to Jensen, the are a win-now team where there is a realistic expectation of a appearance. This is only while is on the team. As such, longevity isn't that much of a concern for Jensen's replacement. If a player is good today and available, that trumps everything else. Matt Paradis is 32 years old, so durability is a worry. However, in his career, the center has only missed time in two campaigns. He has accumulated a vast amount of experience during his seven years in the NFL with the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. Additionally, he has Super Bowl experience and has played alongside legendary quarterback Peyton Manning. As such, he would be a great replacement for Jensen. Terrible blow for Brady and the Bucs: His center Ryan Jensen is gone with a knee injury. Jensen's know-how and fighting spirit are irreplaceable. Bottom line: Now Brady will get hurried and hit more. Congrats, Brady Haters.Terrible blow for Brady and the Bucs: His center Ryan Jensen is gone with a knee injury. Jensen's know-how and fighting spirit are irreplaceable.

Cleveland Browns v Chicago Bears 31 year old center J.C. Tretter is coming off a solid season with the Cleveland Browns in which he earned a 78.7 PFF grade. He was also able to play more than 1000 snaps last year, providing a solid foundation for the quarterback. In 2020, he earned a 77.1 PFF grade and also played more than 1,000 snaps. The free agent has played alongside Aaron Rodgers during his time at the Green Bay Packers and also Baker Mayfield. He's also played in six playoff games in his career. When January comes, the moment won't be too big for him and he could slide in nicely for Jensen.
