After and offseason of transition for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they are finally ready to hit the field as training camp is right around the corner.
It has been an offseason of massive overhaul and transition for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The firing of the head coach is always one big move that will leave a franchise in limbo, but so will losing multiple key players in free agency.
The Buccaneers saw wide receiver Adam Humphries and middle linebacker Kwon Alexander both receive massive paydays from the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers respectively. Strapped for cash, Tampa Bay could not come close to the money offered to these two players and were forced to let them walk.
While it has been an offseason of transition, there is hope among the fans of the pewter and red as well as the organization. General Manager Jason Licht prioritized short-term, low risk contract (something he is not known to do), and has put the Buccaneers in position to move on from players if they do not pan out.
Mini-camp and OTAs have come and gone, and training camp is on the horizon, which means football is almost back and the offseason is over. With that being said, here are the five best moves made by the Buccaneers this offseason which have gotten the team and their fans to this point.
