The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have as near to a complete roster as a team can ask for in this current age of football.
Jason Licht’s work with his staff while building this current roster of Tampa Bay Buccaneers has not been without growing pains. It took some bad draft classes, trades, and signings to get the process down, but after winning a Super Bowl, he is ready for another.

The fast track to getting a second one may be right in front of him.
A trio of notable veteran defenders, who are unhappy with their contracts, are skipping the start of their team’s mandatory minicamps. T.J. Watt of the Steelers, Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals, and Jalen Ramey of the Dolphins all have been speculated to be the topic of trade rumors at some point this offseason, but could they make sense for the Bucs?
Both Hendrickson and Watt would be significant upgrades and solutions to their issues at the edge position. While they have Calijah Kancey and Haason Reddick poised for breakout years, they could use a dominant presence they can lean on. Both Hendrickson and Watt fit that bill.
As for Ramsey, the cornerback position is filled with youth, so adding Ramsey not only gives them a reliable outside option but also gives them a veteran voice in the group.

A move for any three of them would require a decent amount of draft capital, so it remains to be seen whether Jason Licht can pull the trigger on acquiring one of them. If he were to do so, it would signal the Bucs being all in on the 2025 season.
