The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to divide opinion<\/a> on what their 2025 outlook could be, but one thing that can’t be disputed is the offseason work done by general manager Jason Licht.<\/p>\n

First, he managed to re-sign Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin, who was close to leaving the franchise, and then he signed edge rusher Haason Reddick to fill one glaring roster hole.<\/p>\n

Those two moves alone are enough to give the Buccaneers a good offseason grade, but then we add in their draft haul which includes Emeka Egbuka, and a group of solid defensive prospects that each fill crucial needs for Todd Bowles’ unit.<\/p>\n

That is a solid offseason, and for Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema, he’s given the Buccaneers an A- for their work.<\/p>\n

“The Buccaneers lost offensive coordinator Liam Coen to the Jaguars, but that was their only significant departure,” Sikkema writes<\/a>. “They brought back both Lavonte David and Chris Godwin and even made a splash in free agency with Haason Reddick.<\/p>\n

“Tampa Bay then drafted five players who could be starters or key rotational players in Emeka Egbuka, Benjamin Morrison, Jacob Parrish, David Walker and Elijah Roberts.”<\/p>\n

So the offense is loaded with perhaps the best collection of weapons in football.<\/p>\n

Baker Mayfield now has Mike Evans, Godwin, Jalen McMillan, Egbuka, and Cade Otton, not to mention the run game with Bucky Irving.<\/p>\n

Defensively, if the improvement happens with Reddick and the draft picks hitting the ground running, the Buccaneers will be in business in the NFC.<\/p>\n

Some are skeptical of what Bowles’ team can do in 2025 after back-to-back division titles under Baker, but the offseason additions make Tampa Bay a very difficult proposition.<\/p>\n

And that, rightly so, earns them a hugely positive offseason grade.<\/p>\n
