Bucs look to stay competitive after losing key players

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, facing the departure of franchise legends Mike Evans and Lavonte David, aim to remain competitive in the upcoming NFL season. Despite concerns, a prediction from Bleacher Report suggests they will avoid finishing last in the NFC South, with the Atlanta Falcons projected for that position. General manager Jason Licht's roster-building strategy includes retaining talent, highlighted by Baker Mayfield and a strong offensive line led by Tristan Wirfs. On defense, key players like Vita Vea and Antoine Winfield Jr. are expected to support the transition as the team adjusts to life without Evans and David.
