The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are attempting to rebound from a difficult finish to the 2025 season that saw them lose seven of eight games after mid-season. Starting with a strong 6-2 record, the team faced key injuries and ultimately struggled, leading to speculation about head coach Todd Bowles' job security. The offseason has been marked by the departure of franchise icons Mike Evans and Lavonte David, with the Buccaneers making several acquisitions and addressing their draft needs. Following a disappointing previous year, expectations remain tempered as the team seeks to harness its remaining talent in the upcoming season.
