Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2024 Season Preview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found their man at quarterback in Baker Mayfield. The 29-year-old quarterback signed a three-year $100 million dollar deal that includes $30 million guaranteed in year one. Then they brought back the perennial 1,000-yard receiver Mike Evans. Evans got a two-year $52 million dollar deal, he’s already got 10 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and he’d like to make it 12.
Chris Godwin also returns to the team and they brought in rookie third-round pick Jalen McMillian out of the University of Washington to learn behind two great receivers. Ryan Jensen left a big void at the center position when he retired after the 2023 season, a void that was filled in the first round of the draft with Guard/Center Graham Barton from Duke University.
The Buccaneers didn’t lose a lot of players to free agency but the ones they did lose will definitely leave a mark. Shaq Barrett and Devin White leave a huge void in the middle of the defense. Luckily for the Buccaneers Lavonte David put off retirement for at least another season, he’ll be a good player for rookie second-round pick Chris Braswell, the linebacker from the University of Alabama to learn under.
The Buccaneers secondary needed a boost after losing Carlton Davis and starting an undrafted free agent in Christian Izien last year. The signing of Tavierre Thomas and the drafting of third-round pick Tykee Smith the the University of Georgia Bulldogs should help out that defensive backfield.
