Lavonte David Retires on His Own Terms After a Hallmark Bucs Run

Lavonte David announced his retirement after 14 NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, capped by a Super Bowl title and a reputation as one of the league’s most intelligent and durable linebackers. From a difficult start at Fort Scott CC to becoming a Ring of Honor-caliber figure and a rare stat-stacker, David’s resilience and leadership defined a storied career. He hinted at coaching or front-office ambitions and will step away as one of the Buccaneers’ defining players of his era.

Mike Evans moves from Buccaneers to 49ers, reshaping the NFC West

Mike Evans leaves the Buccaneers after 12 seasons to sign with the San Francisco 49ers, with Bucs GM Jason Licht calling the departure tough but respectful and Evans saying it’s about football and a new 'second wind.' The Rams re-signed Kamren Curl and anticipate integrating incoming Chiefs cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, with Oregon OL Alex Harkey set for a private Rams workout and buzz about Kirk Cousins as a potential backup if Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t retained. The Seahawks added four players (Emanuel Wilson, Brady Russell, Josh Jones, Rodney Thomas) on short-term deals to bolster the roster.

Bucs 2026 Makeover: Front-Seven Upgrades and Veteran Depth

Josh Queipo lays out a feasible 2026 Buccaneers offseason focused on upgrading the front seven while keeping the offense intact: re-sign Cade Otton, add JFM, Devin Bush, James Pierre and other veteran depth, and draft a speed-heavy group (CJ Allen, Malachi Lawrence, Keyshaun Elliott, Nadame Tucker, Oscar Delp, Ephesians Prysock, Pat Coogan). He avoids major trades, envisions Kyle Trask backing up Baker Mayfield, and projects a 53-man roster built around a faster defense and balanced offense.

Bucs 2026 Reset: Front-Seven Focus and Bold Free-Agent Push

Adam Slivon lays out a bold 2026 offseason plan for the Buccaneers: keep head coach Todd Bowles, maximize cap space via restructures, and aggressively upgrade the front seven after the potential loss of Mike Evans. Key moves include trading Chris Braswell to the Raiders, signing Khalil Mack, Devin Bush, Rasul Douglas, DaQuan Jones, Teven Jenkins, Miles Killebrew, and James Pierre, and adding eight draft picks focused on defense and depth (Cashius Howell, Jacob Rodriguez, Max Klare, Kyle Louis, Nicholas Singleton, Drew Allar, Mason Reiger, Max Bredeson). The plan also envisions a revamped 53-man roster with a two-quarterback setup behind Baker Mayfield and Drew Allar, a heavy front-seven emphasis, and veteran special-teams contributors to stabilize the roster.

Hendrickson Hits Free-Agency: High-Stakes Landing Spots After Bengals Exit

Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals are parting ways after a turbulent year, and the 31-year-old edge rusher is poised to chase a market likely near $30–40 million per year. Despite the age and a limited 2025 run (seven games), his proven pass-rushing ability keeps him in demand, with potential suitors including the Buccaneers, Cowboys, Bears, Colts, and Jets. Cap space, restructures, and, for the Bucs, Florida’s tax environment will shape the bidding landscape.

Bucs at a Crossroads: Evans Exit, Draft Depth, and Combine Buzz

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Pewter Report suggests Mike Evans could depart Tampa Bay in free agency amid a crowded WR room and his bid to climb top‑10 all‑time lists; the Bucs are weighing how Zac Robinson’s offense would feed Evans or his replacements (Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, etc.) and are prioritizing TE/WR depth in the draft (potential Otton exit, Ko Kieft re-signed). There’s talk of potential trades (Maxx Crosby) with Winfield Jr. possibly used as an asset, plus ongoing draft buzz about prospects like Sonny Styles and Ty Simpson’s interview; the leaked NFLPA report card paints TB poorly overall despite Licht’s A‑, signaling the franchise’s ongoing rebuild questions.

Bucs tap Zac Robinson to run the offense with Baker Mayfield

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are close to hiring Zac Robinson, the Falcons’ offensive coordinator and a former Rams quarterbacks coach, to run the offense and call plays for Baker Mayfield, replacing one-year OC Josh Grizzard. Robinson’s prior Rams/Maysfield connection and Falcons’ productive 2024 season position him as a quick-fit upgrade, and his hire would be Bowles’ fifth OC in as many seasons, potentially heightening the Bucs’ rivalry with Atlanta.
