Buccaneers' wide receiver changing name.

Buccaneers' wide receiver changing name.

Chris Godwin announced he will no longer be sporting just 'Godwin' on his nameplate.

Chris Godwin has been a prolific wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If not for the Hall of Fame caliber career his counter part has had, Godwin would be Tampa Bay's most productive career pass-catcher. Godwin is second, behind Mike Evans, across every major receiving statistic in franchise history.

Tampa Bay fans can now confirm that 'Chris Godwin' won't be adding to those numbers any further. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chris Godwin will now officially be known as Chris Godwin Jr.—

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' contentious offseason acquisition reports to minicamp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' contentious offseason acquisition reports to minicamp

Tampa Bay Bucs fans can breathe, Haason Reddick has entered the building.

Mandatory minicamp has officially begun for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To the surprise (and dismay) of drama-seeking headlines, Haason Reddick was in attendance.

The Buccaneers signed Reddick earlier this offseason, as a potential free agent fix for their woeful pass-rush. Calijah Kancey led the Buccaneers in sacks a season ago with 7.5, however, Tampa’s edge-rushers were led by a mere 4.5 courtesy of Yaya Diaby.

News of Reddick’s signing –as well as his absenteeism from voluntary workouts– were met with scrutiny from some, due to off-beat nature of...

Bucs EDGE Haason Reddick is ready to roll with Buccaneers

New Buccaneers edge rusher Haason Reddick is ready for a fresh start and glad to be with a team under a winning culture.

After a tumultuous 2024 season with the New York Jets that saw him record just one sack, new Bucs pass rusher Haason Reddick is in the building and ready to roll with his new team.

From 2020-2023, Reddick posted four consecutive double-digit sack seasons as a member of the Cardinals, Panthers, and Eagles. His career high came in 2022 with Philadelphia when he posted 16 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and five forced fumbles. After 27 sacks...

Baker Mayfield tabbed as dark horse 2025 MVP candidate

After throwing for 41 touchdowns in 2024, Baker Mayfield has been named a dark horse MVP candidate by NFL.com’s Judy Battista.

Baker Mayfield took his game to new heights during the 2024 campaign when he set a new career high in touchdown passes with 41, besting his previous mark by 13. His 4,500 passing yards were also a career high, marking the first time in his career he has thrown for 4,000+ yards in consecutive seasons (4,044 in 2023).

Both of his latest campaigns also ended with the Bucs in the postseason. Unfortunately Tampa Bay did not end up winning...

Could Trey Palmer be on the move?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had the good fortune of exceptional depth at wide receiver position for the better part of the last decade. With that depth comes opportunities to shop talent to the rest of the league.

A report has surfaced that the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in Tampa Bay Bucs receiver Trey Palmer.

Palmer was drafted by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. As a rookie Palmer showed promise, scooping up 39 catches for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Palmer also gave the Buccaneers a high-tier...

Are the Saints no longer Tampa Bay’s biggest rival?

Are the Saints no longer Tampa Bay’s biggest rival?

A Buccaneers’ defender was recently asked who he views as Tampa Bay’s biggest rival and his answer may surprise some.

Most Tampa Bay fans, if prompted to speak on the matter, would confidently say the New Orleans Saints are not only the Buccaneers’ biggest rival but most hated opponent. The Rivalry cuts deep for fans who had the pleasure of watching New Orleans run the NFC South from 2017-2020 when they proceeded to secure four consecutive division titles and win at least 11 games in each of those four seasons.

The script has flipped in recent years, as the Tampa...

Will Bucky Irving be featured even more in 2025?

Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers invested a fourth round pick in an 'undersized' running back out of the University of Oregon. That running back was Bucky Irving, who would go on to have one of the more memorable rookie seasons in recent Bucs' lore.

Irving wracked up touches, yards, touchdowns, and memorable moments in his first NFL season. The Buccaneers' rookie dashed through defenses for 1,122 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, with an additional 392 yards receiving. Irving's 1,000-yard campaign represented the first such season since Doug Martin...

Mike Evans is finally receiving legend treatment

Mike Evans is finally receiving legend treatment

Mike Evans is an all-time NFL great and he is finally receiving that acknowledgment.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' all-star wide receiver, Mike Evans, has been one of the most underrated players in the National Football League over the last 11 years. Despite having over 100 career touchdowns and 10,000 yards during that span, very little national fan fare has been given to the former seventh overall pick.

Evans' most significant claim to fame, outside of Tampa Bay, is his streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons— A streak that actually encompasses not one but two separate records.

Evans began stacking 1,000‐yard seasons in...
