Preseason rankings are an offseason tradition in NFL circles. They fill the gap between the draft and actual football and attempt to blend prior knowledge and projection of the coming season. Pro Football Focus took an early stab at these rankings with the top-32 NFL wide receivers, including Mike Evans and Chris Godwin: 1. Justin Jefferson 2. Tyreek Hill 3. ? NFL WR rankings https://t.co/nH6q665Aay — PFF (@PFF) May 22, 2024 Evans came in as the 20th-best receiver while Godwin just made the list at 31. Evans’ ranking is curious if not outright dubious.

In many respects, the Buccaneers’ offseason was a success. They retained key players, including Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and Antoine Winfield Jr. Despite these moves, Tampa Bay needs more if they want to retain their divisional title and return to the playoffs. While “more” often suggests external acquisitions, for the Bucs it means more from their existing roster. Unlike teams like the Atlanta Falcons who added a new coaching staff and starting quarterback this offseason, the Bucs in 2024 will look very similar to 2023, at least on paper. They added a few players, mostly depth pieces, whic ..read more

The Buccaneers did not make a ton of splashy moves this offseason besides re-signing its own players. It seems that was enough for Pro Football Focus’s Trevor Sikkema, who gave the Bucs an A in PFF’s offseason grades for all 32 NFL teams. In Sikkema’s words, the Bucs “kept who they wanted to keep.” Tampa Bay re-signed QB Baker Mayfield, WR Mike Evans, LB Lavonte David and S Antoine Winfield while cutting LB Shaq Barrett and letting LB Devin White walk in free agency. Sikkema also praised the Bucs’ draft, particularly for getting C Graham Barton. An A is perhaps a little generous for the Bucs ..read more

With their 2024 schedule now set, the Buccaneers have a clear look at what to expect this season. The first half of their season is a death march of Super Bowl contenders, punctuated by divisional games (and the Denver Broncos). Following their bye, the path smooths out as they face just one team that had a winning record in 2023. Bucs fans still have plenty for which to look forward. Tampa Bay has four primetime games, including two on Monday nights. Though they face some of the toughest opponents in the NFL, the Bucs will get to play some of the most exciting offenses including Detroit, San ..read more

NFL players are a talented lot, often at many things beyond football. Buccaneers running back Rachaad White fancies himself an artist. His teammates may have different opinions. In two attempts at recreating the logos of other NFL teams, White leaves his teammates puzzled if humorously so: "That's not a Bronco."
