My top priorities for the Bucs this offseason:. • Pay Mike Evans.• Re-sign Baker.• Re-sign Winfield.• Extend Wirfs.• Re-sign Lavonte (if he doesn’t retire).• Try to add a dominant edge rusher.

Although he was released today, I’m told that Shaq Barrett is open to re-signing with the Bucs under the right circumstances. Shaq Barrett and his family are hoping to re-sign in Tampa.

The Bucs would not have won the Super Bowl without Shaq Barrett. Not only that, Shaq Barrett holds the record for most sacks in a season in franchise history (19.5). Thanks for everything Shaquil🙏

Positives from today:. • Baker is a franchise QB. • Bucs run game is the best it’s been in years and Bucky is a beast. • Even though they are 4-6, they have the easiest schedule remaining.

If the Bucs had an average defense this team would be 7-3. Baker is the guy.
Baker Mayfield's QB rating this year -- 103.6 -- is better than Tom Brady had in any of his three seasons in Tampa. On pace to join him as the only Bucs QBs to throw for 40 touchdowns in a season. Hasn't translated to wins, but he's having a great year.

Mike Evans and Davante Adams career stats:. • Mike Evans: 720 receptions, 11,019 receiving yards, 86 TD’s. • Davante Adams: 820 receptions, 10,210 receiving yards, 90 TD’s. Mike Evans has more yards with less catches and has about the same amount of TD’s. Give Mike his respect.

Mike Evans now needs 479 yards in 5 games (95.8 AVG) to reach 1,000 once again. Will he do it?🤔

The Bucs were planning on starting KJ Britt over Devin White and when Devin White heard this, he told Todd Bowles he couldn’t go. His attitude has not sat well with some coaches and teammates per, Rick Stroud.

The Bucs may be 4-5 but there are so many bright spots with this team…. Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, Tykee Smith, Calijah Kancey, Baker Mayfield, Cade Otton, etc. Bucs could still go on a run with their schedule weakening after their bye. 49ers next week is a big game.

With all of the CB injuries, the Bucs should give longtime Dolphins cornerback Xavier Howard a call.

Now the Bucs can focus on free agency/draft and become a true Super Bowl contender. My ideal offseason would look something like this:. • Re-sign Chris Godwin.• Sign a 10+ sack pass rusher (eg: Khalil Mack).• Sign a solid CB (eg: Charvarius Ward).• Sign solid depth at some.
Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen is taking himself out of the running for the Jaguars’ head coaching job to stay in Tampa on a new contract that now will place him amongst the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL, per sources. Bucs are keeping their OC.

The Bucs trail the 6-5 Atlanta Falcons by 2 games. ATL still have some tough games such as Vikings, Commanders, and Chargers. If the Bucs can go 6-1 I think they win the division. It’s going to be tough but this season is far from over.

“It’s not personal”. He didn’t have to handle it this way. It’s personal.
The #Bucs expected Liam Coen to return today to sign his new deal, but he didn’t show up, and they couldn’t get in touch with him at all. Meanwhile, the Jaguars ramped up their efforts, bombarding Coen and reengaging to the point where he’s now in their facility. This is.

I’m really hoping there is something going on behind the scenes with Liam Coen. Could the Bucs be waiting to see what the Jaguars do?. If Liam gets offered the job, they fire Bowles (or move him to front office) and then match the Jags offer to make Coen the HC of the Bucs. If

If Tom decides to come back, he will have:. • A new OC and offensive staff.• A healthier O-Line.• A Gronk return possibly . I believe that Jason Licht would go all out in adding more protection and weapons for Brady.

The Bucs gave Liam Coen the opportunity to call plays and take a huge step in his career. Nobody blames him for taking a $13M head coaching job but you don’t treat the people who helped you take a huge leap in your career like a piece of dirt. If he was honest with the Bucs I’d.

For how bad it looked, this is amazing news.
#Bucs WR Chris Godwin is having surgery today to repair his dislocated ankle. Going into it, tests were as good as they could've been, sources say. No one knows how long TB's season will last, but there is even an outside possibility Godwin returns. Not likely. But slight.

Reunion?🤔. It’s clear the Bucs will be bringing back Baker with this hire. It’s clear that Baker had a say in this. I’m confident Baker will be back. The question is, for how much.
