Bucs fall to 22nd in offseason power rankings following 2025 collapse

Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been ranked 22nd in NFL offseason power rankings by Frank Schwab from Yahoo! Sports. This ranking follows a disappointing 2025 season where the team posted a 2-7 finish, missing the playoffs after losing the NFC South. Schwab cites a lack of trust in the team's ability to rebound, compounded by significant departures including Mike Evans and Jamel Dean, as well as Lavonte David's retirement. Despite acknowledging the Buccaneers' blue-chip talent, he expresses skepticism about their performance in the upcoming season. The team must demonstrate they have addressed last year's failures to regain confidence.
