Tampa Bay is keeping its continuity on the depth charts.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed quarterback Kyle Trask to a one-year deal, securing the former second-round pick as part of their roster for the 2025 season. Trask, who originally joined the Bucs in the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Florida, has served primarily as a backup during his tenure. The move, first reported by Ian Rapoport on Wednesday, ensures depth behind starter Baker Mayfield.

Trask’s re-signing reflects Tampa Bay’s commitment to continuity, despite his limited game action. In four seasons, he has appeared in just three...

‘Nelly’ is back…

On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a key piece of their defensive front by re-signing outside linebacker Anthony Nelson to a two-year, $10 million contract, with a $12 million max, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Nelson, a 2019 fourth-round pick from Iowa, has been a reliable rotational player for Tampa Bay, contributing 11 sacks and 107 tackles across six seasons — not to mention room being instrumental against the run. His best campaign came in 2022, with 5.5 sacks, showcasing his value as a pass-rushing complement to a defense that features defensive tackle Vita Vea. The move...

Liam Coen has poached his first Buc.

When the Buccaneers lost Liam Coen, last year's offensive coordinator, some defections were to be anticipated. While the Buccaneers did avoid losing famed assistant GM and Jason Licht protégé Mike Greenburg, who pulled his name out of consideration early on in Jacksonville, the team was not all the way out of the woods yet.

After the Jaguars' clear commitment to clear out their roster and build anew, there was warranted concern that Tampa Bay's prize free agent, Chris Godwin, who was on pace for a career season prior to his season-ending injury a...

A big move that kick started the day for Tampa Bay.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a splash in NFL free agency by signing veteran edge rusher Haason Reddick to a one-year, $14 million contract, with $12 million guaranteed. The deal, reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport Monday, marks a major move for the Bucs defensive front and bolsters a Bucs defense that ranked sixth in the NFL with 46 sacks last season.

Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler, brings a proven track record, having recorded 59 sacks over eight seasons, including double-digit totals in four straight years from 2020 to...

The Bucs make sure Chris Godwin stays home with three-year, $66 million deal.

Wide receiver Chris Godwin was the top player at his position expected to hit free agency this week. However, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers refused to let him hit the open market in the end and have reportedly agreed to a new three-year, $66 million contract with $44 million guaranteed.

The new deal solidifies the Bucs’ top receiving trio, keeping Godwin on the field with both Mike Evans and surprising rookie Jalen McMillan.

Godwin started the 2024 season on fire prior to his season-ending injuries just seven games...

Tampa Bay is keeping another one of their own by re-signing OG Ben Bredeson to a three-year deal.

The Buccaneers have gotten to work just ahead of free agency, agreeing to terms on a new deal with guard Ben Bredeson. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Bredeson’s deal will pay him 22 million dollars over three years with 12.5 million guaranteed.

Bredeson, 27, started all 17 regular season games for Tampa Bay plus the team’s playoff game. He posted a 56.2 overall PFF grade last season and while that is a bit low, the film tells a different story.

Bredeson was...

The Bucs absolutely need more talent and depth on defense.

NFL free agency kicks off at noon Monday, and there will be a flurry of activity across the league as teams hope to shore up their weak spots.

Will the Buccaneers be one of those first teams out of the blocks? Recent history would indicate not likely, as they focus so heavily on in-house retentions like Chris Godwin, but that doesn’t they won’t be active. This year absolutely feels like one where we might see more outside player courting than in the last few cycles.

We covered the offense a...

At 35 years old, Lavonte David will once again suit up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers have officially started their offseason with a familiar classic, the re-signing of legendary linebacker Lavonte David. Tampa has (willing) spent serveral consecutive offseasons waiting for indications as to whether or not David would decide to retire from football, before ultimately inking a new short-term agreement. This offseason, however, David's return seemed the most unsure— comparable to years prior.

Though David doesn't look it, the Buccaneers' future Ring of Honor member will play next season at 35-years old (relatively ancient for a player...

Which players will be returning to Tampa Bay in 2025?

NFL free agency is just a few short days away and for the Buccaneers, they have some questions that need answering in the coming days. While their list of unrestricted free agents is not how it was last year, there still are some important players that Tampa Bay has to decide whether to keep or not.

Let’s take a look at some of their pending free agents and predict whether they are going to remain in Tampa Bay or head elsewhere.

A quick disclaimer though is this is MY opinion....

Tampa Bay is looking to fix their pass rush this offseason

It is no secret that the Buccaneers need some serious help on the defensive side of the ball and the pass rush seems to be a big point of emphasis this offseason.

In Indy this past week at the NFL scouting combine, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles spoke about needing to be able to rush the passer with just four instead of having to constantly blitz in order to get pressure.

Well with free agency just around the corner, it appears Tampa Bay is doing their due diligence on...

The thermostat is back as the NFL Scouting Combine proceeds.

It’s time to gather around and dust off the thermometer, Bucs Nation. The draft needs temperature check returns once again!

The Buccaneers enter 2025 in a relatively stable position with good cap flexibility, a healthy boon of young talent, few priority free agents, and a decently positioned first-round pick. However, the defensive side of the ball is on much shakier ground than the offensive side and as such demands reinforcements when it comes to both starters and depth.

Free agency, which opens in less than 2 weeks, will cause some...
