feels like it will make things difficult for the Bucs to commit that much money to one player.

Will gut Tampa's loaded roster. They've basically been paying discount rates for QBs for since the Jameis days. Brady was only making $25M/yr when guys like Cousins and Dak were making $35-40M.

It kept their rosters intact for the most part over their run the past few yrs.

However, Licht is such a good GM and such a good drafter, they are probably thinking they'll make up for it on the back end with letting older players walk and stacking the roster with young, cheap talent.
