After winning the division in each of the past 4 seasons, the Bucs have everything they need to hang another NFC South banner in 2025. From my conversation with @gregauman.bsky.social on "Best Podcast Available" for @athlonsports.bsky.social: athlonsports.com/nfl/tampa-ba...

Just to be clear: Bucs didn’t sign Samaje Perine. I think the Bredeson contract went into NFLPA database and someone misread it as Perine. No signing.

I forget we're in the heart of "worth as much as" season.

Carlton Davis gets a big paycheck from New England ...

An hour into free agency, 31 of our top 100 free agents are off the board -- eight signing with new teams today, three more re-signing with their old teams. Updated list here: www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/...

There's that $20 million a year figure everyone laughed at ...

There's a big splash for Carolina:

Twitter Jerry Jones 🤝 Not planning to be active during free agency

$11m should be near the top of the league for backup QBs.

Jalon Walker or Jihaad Campbell’s odds of becoming a Buccaneer just shot up

One of the top remaining free agent linebackers is off the board, as the Patriots are signing Raiders' Robert Spillane, per Rapsheet.

When we ranked the top 10 free agent running backs for this class, we had Elijah Mitchell at No. 10, even though he didn't play in 2024. Smart under-the-radar signing for Chiefs. www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/...

We'll get an update on Chris Godwin's recovery timeline when he's introduced on the new contract, but the Bucs guaranteed two years of salary without knowing if he'll be healthy and ready to play at the start of the 2025 season.

It's worth mentioning that Bucs OLBs coach Larry Foote had Haason Reddick as a Cardinals assistant in 2017-18. Bruce Arians was his head coach in 2017, but I don't think that's as key a connection in the Bucs' signing.

We had new Bucs OLB Haason Reddick at No. 21 in our @nflonfox.bsky.social top 100 free agents -- here's what we said:

Bears' offensive line upgrade continues, while Atlanta loses its top free agent in the first hour of negotiating window.

What's key in the Bucs' deal with Chris Godwin is guaranteeing two years of salary. The total dollar value is about what we expected -- slightly more than his last deal ($60 million for three years) and slightly more than Mike Evans just got on a per-year basis.

I can confirm Haason Reddick to the Bucs on a one-year deal. Two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher gives Tampa Bay a much-needed boost to their defensive front opposite YaYa Diaby.

Huge start to free agency for Bucs, who are able to keep Chris Godwin on a new deal.

More on Haason Reddick, reportedly headed to the Bucs on a one-year, $14 million deal: he's 30, had four straight 10-sack seasons from 2020-23, had a lost year in 2024 after holding out with Jets. Bucs hope to get his 2022: 16 sacks, five forced fumbles as Eagles went to the Super Bowl.

Bucs make a splash and get a top-tier edge rusher …

Ok, folks. It’s noon. Off we go …

Twitter outage on start of NFL free agency day! Madness! Chaos!

Linebacker Lavonte David is returning to the Bucs for a 14th season, agreeing to a one-year deal worth at least $9 million guaranteed. Captain and leader continues to build his resume for Canton.

Bluesky people! Super Bowl opening night is about to begin. However loud and jam-packed you think it must be, it isn’t quite enough. Fun night ahead.

Another promising season ended with a close playoff loss to the Chiefs. Where do the Bills and Josh Allen go from here, trying to end a cruel cycle that keeps repeating? www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/...

Liam Coen had agreed to a nice bump to stay in Tampa as offensive coordinator, then changed course, going to Jacksonville and accepting a deal to become their new head coach. More on a stunning reversal, for @nflonfox.bsky.social: www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/...

HR 2 - WHO IS JOHN SPYTEK? @gregauman.bsky.social tells us all about Raiders newly hired GM, John Spytek, and what he brings to the table, @ryanscotthoag is back with thoughts on the #Raiders new GM and their ongoing HC search.

Any reaction here to news that Liam Coen is staying with the Bucs as OC and taking his name out of the running for the Jaguars' head coach opening?

Up to 14 confirmed Bucs futures signings: DL Mike Greene OL Lorenz Metz WR Marquez Callaway WR Tanner Knue S Marcus Banks TE Tanner Taula S Rashad Wisdom OL Luke Haggard LB Daniel Grzesiak LB Antonio Grier RB D.J. Williams OL Garret Greenfield OL Raiqwon O'Neal LB Deion Jennings (pending physical)

All the Bucs' questionable players are active tonight -- Winfield, Dean, Otton, Edwards all back active and healthy vs. Commanders. Bucs' inactives vs. Commanders: DL C.J. Brewer, TE Devin Culp, WR Kam Johnson, WR Tanner Knue, S Ryan Neal, G Royce Newman, OLB Jose Ramirez.

Last practice for Bucs ahead of Commanders on Sunday. Otton and Dean continue to practice. Winfield has been a full participant last two days. Logan Hall and Mike Edwards came out late. Not sure on Will Gholston.

Not quite ready to start naming potential matches for Bucs. Feels like a defense-heavy draft for Tampa Bay at the top. Linebacker, edge, corner all make sense. Could get younger on the interior as well. Any cuts could create new needs too.

Diaby hasn't had that many sacks, and that's always the easiest measure of success for an edge rusher, but his pressures and win rate are much better than his sacks would suggest. He said a key to his recent surge is focusing less on sacks and more on winning each snap and creating pressure.

Dean was with the team for warmups, appeared to be doing everything he normally would as he works back from a knee injury.

I go back to ELO: "Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why you had to hide away for so long." I really will try to be on here more often. Don't want to just copy what I'm tweeting to here, so ask me questions here, I'll do my best to answer them here. Thanks to all for following!

Bucs back at practice on a chilly morning. Jamel Dean and Cade Otton both practicing. Tykee Smith back after missing Wednesday for a personal matter. Logan Hall and Antoine Winfield came out late. Didn’t see Mike Edwards.

Bucs practicing outside today. Lots to cover: - Bucky Irving, Christian Izien, Sterling Shepard not practicing - expecting Winfield, Britt, Edwards to be out again - did see Bredeson, JTS, J.J. Russell, Josh Hayes working - no Evans or Wirfs, but that’s normal for them lately

My first Bluesky spammer! Had to happen eventually. Sigh.

All the key people practicing for Bucs today - Tristan Wirfs, Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, Tykee Smith, Baker Mayfield all going. Trey Palmer is also working. Still no K.J. Britt or Mike Edwards, so they should be ruled out.

For the fourth time in six years, Mike Evans is the Bucs' nominee for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Mike and Ashli do a ton for the community through their foundation, and he's deserving of not only this but the league-wide honor as well.

Bucs have a rookie punter on their practice squad in Jack Browning. They could sign another punter this week, but for now, looks like the job is his.

Bucs have waived punter Trenton Gill, who had the lowest punting average in the NFL after taking over for Jake Camarda during this season.

Tristan Wirfs is active for the Bucs today against Panthers. Returns from his knee injury missing only one game.

Bucs have ruled out OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for Sunday’s game at Carolina. Rookie Michael Pratt has been elevated from practice squad as a third QB.

Bucs have placed safety Jordan Whitehead on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least four of the team's six remaining regular-season games. Linebacker Vi Jones has been signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Bucs have ruled out nickel Tykee Smith and safety Jordan Whitehead for Sunday‘s game at Carolina. Tristan Wirfs will be a game-time decision.

Bucs at practice this morning -- no Tykee Smith, so looks like another week with Christian Izien at nickel. Tristan Wirfs working with a brace on his knee, so could be back. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka practicing as well.

Happy Thanksgiving!
