Tampa Bay’s co-owner likes what he has seen.
There is no doubt those that argue about the job that Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht has done in 10 years and the job quarterback Baker Mayfield did last season just argue for no reason. And Tampa Bay co-owner Joel Glazer couldn’t disagree more with those takes.
Speaking Tuesday to the media at the NFL’s Owners Meetings, Glazer had nothing but praise for both Licht and Mayfield.

The Buccaneers need reinforcements on the interior line, which might come early.
The Buccaneers are completely set at offensive tackle, but their interior line is anything but solidified. Second-rounder Cody Mauch has the left guard spot locked down going into his sophomore season, but center and right guard seem totally up for grabs.
The Bucs have done well to bring in fresh faces as competition, like Sua Opeta and Ben Bredeson, but they’d do even better to get a higher-upside rookie into the fold as well. With some great talent likely to be available through the ..read more

A top edge rusher is exactly what the Bucs need - and Jared Verse should top their wish list
While the emergence of YaYa Diaby came as a pleasant surprise, 2021 first round pick Joe Tryon-Shoyinka hasn’t developed quite the way the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had hoped. Now, after releasing Shaquil Barrett, the Bucs’ edge rushers consist of Diaby, Tryon-Shoyinka, and Anthony Nelson. That’s not going to be enough to get the job done in Todd Bowles’ defense. They need a marquee guy that will draw the attention of opposing offensive coordinators and offensive lines that have ..read more

The 12-year veteran is officially on the books for 2024.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Friday the re-signing of linebacker Lavonte David. His leadership on the team has played a crucial role on the Bucs, as general manager Jason Licht talked of the importance in bringing him back.
“Lavonte continues to stand the test of time and play at an exceptionally high level year after year, so it was never a question that we wanted to bring him back as the heart and soul of our defense,” said Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht. “The example he sets and the lea ..read more

How have the Buccaneers done in free agency so far?
The Buccaneers have had an active week and a half to say the least. Entering the free agency period, the Bucs had a lot of things on the to do list including bringing back a lot of their own and also filling holes along the roster.
They were able to retain Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, Lavonte David, Antoine Winfield Jr and Chase Mclaughlin. Safe to say it has been a successful run for Jason Licht and the front office, now let's give it a grade.

The Bucs have used Mike Evans' brand new contract to create cap space.
Mike Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to a new restructured deal. A Mike Evans contract restructuring is not the most unusual thing for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offseason news cycle, however, for it to come so quickly after a new contract signing is slightly odd.
The ink has barely dried on Evans' new deal— Less than two weeks after the team and Evans came to agreement that will keep him in Tampa Bay for the next two seasons, the two sides have restructured that deal.

The Bucs agreed to terms with CB Bryce Hall, bring back QB John Wolford, and bring in two offensive linemen
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were busy on Friday after a quiet Thursday, agreeing to terms with multiple players at positions of need.
After signing Jordan Whitehead to a two-year deal, the Bucs also agreed to terms with his New York Jets teammate Bryce Hall on a one year deal. Hall, who could compete for the starting slot corner job but at the very least provide much needed depth at corner as well as special teams contributions, has seen his playing time dr ..read more

The veteran safety didn’t have to slide into anyone’s DMs to gain attention.
The Buccaneers drafted Jordan Whitehead in the fourth round of the 2018 draft out of Pitt. He quickly became a fan favorite in just a few years and was part of the Bucs Super Bowl LV run where he forced a Packers turnover in the NFC Championship in route to a 31-26 victory.
When he left to sign with the New York Jets during the 2022 offseason, a void was instantly felt in the defensive backfield. But after two seasons away from Tampa Bay, Whitehead has now returned back to the tea ..read more
