Could Tampa Bay look to add to their secondary in the draft?

The NFL draft is right around the corner and the Buccaneers will be on the clock at 19th overall before we know it. Tampa Bay will be able to fill some of the holes on defense during the draft and one of the spots with questions is the secondary.

While the Bucs have some talented players, they could always use some more depth. That’s where a guy like Virginia’s Jonas Sanker could make a lot of sense.

Could the Bucs’ heir apparent to Lavonte David be Knight?

The Buccaneers’ linebacker corps got consistently abused all last season, and the long-term outlook remains grim heading into 2025.

While Lavonte David is still good, being in year 14 at 35 years old sets a clear need for expectations on his play moving forward. K.J. Britt, one of the league’s worst at the position, is long gone, while third-year player SirVocea Dennis is talented but needs to stay healthy.

Some veterans in the waning stages of their career, like Anthony Walker and Deion Jones, offer some depth but there’s a...

Some say the Bucs are going defense first, and GM Jason Licht hits on that.

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, thoughts and opinions swirl around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ strategy, with many expecting a defensive focus in the first round. The team’s 2024 defensive performance provides context for this perception.

Last season, the Bucs struggled against the pass, ranking 29th in the NFL by allowing 243.9 yards per game through the air. Their pass rush was inconsistent despite their 46 total sacks and players like Calijah Kancey (7.5 sacks) and Vita Vea (7.0 sacks) helped boost that to some...

Will the Buccaneers go cornerback early in the draft?

The 2024 rendition of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a group that was peppered with injuries. While the ailments didn’t isolate themselves to any singular position group or side of the ball, the Buccaneers’ defensive backs were hit pretty hard. Every single member of the Bucs’ starting secondary failed to play in all 17 games, save for Zyon McCollum. The corner spot opposite him was manned by Jamel Dean, at times Tyrek Funderburk, occasionally Josh Hayes, for a limited time Bryce Hall even saw the field. All different names and faces...

Will the Bucs look to add to the pass rush in round 1?

One of the goals that the Buccaneers and general manager Jason Licht set out to accomplish this offseason was improving the team’s pass rush. While Tampa Bay’s pressure rate and sack total at the end of the year were actually good, they also had the third highest blitz percentage in the league and blitzed the second most in the league. That is largely due to the team’s inability to get home with just four guys.

Whenever a team has to blitz just to be able to get...

Could the Bucs reinforce their defensive line in Round 1?

The defensive line could be considered the Buccaneers’ strength on defense from 2024, relatively speaking.

Despite missing time with injuries, Calijah Kancey and Vita Vea both played at high levels to be among the team’s individual sack leaders, with Kancey leading everyone (7.5) and Vea not far behind (7). Logan Hall, while still leaving something to be desired, did improve and aims to make a leap in the final year of his rookie deal.

The positives are encouraging, but the Bucs do not shy away from stacking strengths and reportedly...

How many more years will LD54 suit up for Tampa Bay?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had the great luxury of a Hall of Fame caliber player start in the middle of their defense since 'Gangnam Style' was a viral sensation. Heading into year 14, that luxury is running near its end.

Lavonte David has been one of the greatest Buccaneers in the franchise's history and if not for the absurd greatness of Derrick Brooks, David may be the no-doubt best linebacker in the team's lore. The Buccaneers re-signing David to a one-year contract has become an annual tradition over...

Let’s check the thermostat on more time before draft weekend.

The Buccaneers took their usual approach to free agency again, focusing on retaining their own guys while making strategic outside additions.

It’s largely led them to success this decade, so it’s hard to fault them for maintaining the status quo. With the biggest additions being the retention of Chris Godwin and the requisition of pass rusher Haason Reddick, Tampa largely stuck to filling in the margins with small contracts.

Do their free agency moves move our thermometer much with less than 3 weeks until the 2025 NFL Draft? Let’s do...

Tampa Bay continues their recent streak of restructures with quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Following their restructure of Antoine Winfield Jr.'s contract, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have also tinkered with Baker Mayfield's deal.

Baker Mayfield's restructure frees up more than $14 million dollars in savings for the team's salary cap.

The move comes as no surprise, the Buccaneers have consistently restructured deals with their primary players over the years and Mayfield is simply the most recent example of this.

Tampa signed their quarterback to an extension last offseason— A three-year contract worth up to $110 million (a figure he has substantially outplayed...

The young safety puts the team first.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have restructured the contract of All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr., creating significant financial flexibility for the 2025 season.

Originally set to earn a $21 million base salary, Winfield’s deal was adjusted to a minimum salary plus a bonus, with a void year added. This move frees up $15.86 million in cap space, allowing the team to address other roster needs or pursue additional talent. Signed to a four-year, $84.1 million extension in 2024, Winfield became the NFL’s highest-paid defensive back, a testament to his elite playmaking ability.

Despite battling...

Could the Bucs look to add another receiver in this year’s draft?

The Buccaneers have one of, if not the best wide receiver room in the entire NFL, but could they look to add another piece to the room in this year’s NFL draft?

On paper, it may not make much sense but when thinking about the reality of the situation, Tampa Bay could use some depth there. In 2024, there were multiple games where the Bucs were without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and even Jalen McMillan. Against the Chiefs last season, the Bucs top three receivers were Sterling...
