Link to story Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield disappointed with offer Thu Jul 30, 01:48 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he is disappointed that the Buccaneers only offered him a two-year contract extension and that the team did not offer anything close to the $50 million per season he was looking for in the negotiations.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is coming off a down season, and without a new contract he's got a chance to break the bank with a bounce-back year. The Buccaneers were unwilling to commit to Mayfield in terms of annual salary and contract length. Anything is possible, but it seems like this could be Mayfield's final year with the Buccaneers. Mayfield has a current ADP of QB18 (11.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield done negotiating extension for '26 Wed Jul 29, 12:41 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team have not come to an agreement on a contract extension, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. The sides are done negotiating and Mayfield will play this season under his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times and Greg Auman of FOX Sports both report that the talks have finished with the quarterback reporting to training camp on Tuesday. Mayfield will now have a cap number of $39.975 million in 2026 on the last year of his deal. Depending on how the season goes, the Buccaneers could franchise tag Mayfield in the 2027 offseason. That would put Mayfield in a position to earn $47.97 million on the one-year franchise tender. Whatever the case, Mayfield is once again betting on himself, a tactic that's worked well for him in the past. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield talks not close Tue Jul 28, 11:43 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and the team haven't made significant progress on a contract extension as his self-imposed deadline nears Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield, who is set to report to training camp on Tuesday without a new contract, has publicly stated that he does not want to continue negotiations past the start of camp. After signing a three-year, $100 million deal during the 2024 offseason, there's one year left on his current contract. It was recently reported that Mayfield would be willing to play under the franchise tag in 2027, which would be a one-year deal worth $47.97 million. But that, of course, depends on the Buccaneers electing to tag him. We'll continue to monitor, but there's no immediate fantasy impact. |

Buccaneers | Vita Vea requests a trade Tue Jul 28, 12:30 AM
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea has requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after talks on a contract extension have stalled, his agent, Collin Roberts, told ESPN on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Vea, 31, is entering the final year of a four-year, $71 million contract. He is set to earn $17 million this season, but none of it is guaranteed. He also is set to earn a per-game roster bonus that is capped at $1 million total. Last season, Vea appeared in all 17 games, finishing with 4.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits and 34 tackles. He has 35 sacks in eight seasons since the Buccaneers selected him with the 12th pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2024. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield hoping to sign extension Sun Jul 26, 11:33 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield would like to have a contract extension finalized by the time veterans report to training camp Tuesday, July 28, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. However, Fowler believes this is an 'artificial deadline' and that intensified negotiations could continue beyond this point if necessary. Mayfield is entering the final season of a three-year, $100 million deal.
| Footballguys view: Most expect a deal to get done, but we shouldn't interpret a lack of a deal before camp opens as a bad sign for his future with the team. Mayfield has already had to bet on himself many times in his career and would probably look at going into the season without an extension as an opportunity to make even more on his eventual new deal with the team. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving 'good to go' for training camp Tue Jul 21, 12:59 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving said he is 'good to go' for training camp at his youth football camp, according to a source on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Irving returned to the Bucs practice fields on the final day of OTAs, the first time he hit the field since shoulder surgery earlier this year. That's good news for Irving, who'll face competition for snaps from free-agent addition Kenny Gainwell. Irving is being drafted as RB21 in early Round 5. Gainwell is RB34 going in Round 8. Irving's ADP reflects last year's points-per-game finish and his 2026 Footballguys projection. Could Gainwell be a limiting factor? We'll be watching for more. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield says he played hurt from Week 2 on last year Mon Jul 13, 02:39 PM
Via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Baker Mayfield reveals in the upcoming season of Quarterback that, in 2025, he played with a sprained MCL and PCL in his knee from Week 2 on. Mayfield also had a "bad biceps contusion" in his throwing arm, and he injured the shoulder of his non-throwing arm.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com notes, if Mayfield had a knee injury for that much of the season, it didn't show up in the injury reports. "Knee" wasn't listed at all until Week 8. It underscores the fact that the NFL's injury-reporting rules don't contain nearly enough information. Sometimes, players don't tell the team about their injuries. Sometimes, players get treatment away from the team's facility. Whatever the case, Mayfield finished last year as QB12 -- although his points per game ranked 19th. Mayfield is being drafted as QB20. |

Buccaneers | No rush on a new contract for Baker Mayfield Tue Jul 7, 12:38 PM
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said early last month that he and the team were not close to an agreement on a new contract and that "we're not doing contract stuff" after the start of training camp. The Bucs report to camp on July 28, and there doesn't appear to be much change in where things stand for Mayfield. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that "a lot of work needs to be done" before any agreement is reached with the quarterback.
| Footballguys view: That is also reportedly the case for defensive tackle Vita Vea. Mayfield is in the third year of a three-year, $100 million deal, while Vea is set to make $17 million during the 2026 season. Garafolo adds that the Bucs feel "no rush" to wrap up negotiations with either player at the moment. That urgency could grow with the window before camp getting shorter, but it remains to be seen if all involved will find the middle ground needed to reach the finish line. Meanwhile, based on his QB20 ADP, fantasy investors are also lukewarm on Mayfield. |

Buccaneers | WR Tez Johnson was a standout in OTAs Tue Jun 23, 01:09 PM
This won't shock a lot of people, considering WR Tez Johnson was pressed into action extensively last year in his rookie season and had five touchdowns, but in arguably the most competitive room on the team, Johnson stood out. He had two touchdown catches from Jake Browning in their final practice and caught several others.
| Footballguys view: Johnson is one of the smallest players in the NFL. But Footballguy Matt Waldman notes that Johnson is also a tough and dynamic receiver in the middle of the field who can turn a short play into a long gain. The second-year man will compete for the fourth spot on the WR depth chart and should earn a role as a return specialist and big-play slot option who can become a fantasy factor if injuries to Chris Godwin and/or Jalen McMillan occur. |
Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan has an opening Tue Jun 23, 11:52 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan will have an opening for a larger role after WR Mike Evans left in the offseason.
| Footballguys view: McMillan suffered a serious neck injury last preseason that limited him to just four games during the 2025 season. McMillan returned to action in Week 14. Two games later, he recorded the first 100-yard game of his career. He finished the final two weeks of the season with 12 receptions for 178 yards. But the Buccaneers' confidence in McMillan is also based on what he accomplished before the injury. During his rookie season in 2024, he totaled 37 receptions for 461 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games. We'll be watching for more here. |
Buccaneers | Bucky Irving expected to be fine Mon Jun 22, 03:47 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) should be fine for the regular season and would be available to play if the team had a game in a few weeks, according to general manager Jason Licht.
| Footballguys view: Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles raised some concern about Irving's fitness when he said he thought the running back would be ready to return from a shoulder injury in the "summer or fall." Still, developments in June have painted a better picture. Irving practiced before the end of the offseason program, and Licht's comments add to the more positive outlook. Irving missed seven games in 2025. He'll likely share with free agent pickup Kenneth Gainwell, but a healthy Irving has been very effective for fantasy investors. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Ted Hurst showing versatility Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst has impressed with his ability to make plays 'at all three levels,' according to Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com.
| Footballguys view: Hurst is similar to George Pickens in terms of body type and physical gifts, and it sounds like the Georgia State product is translating against NFL players - at least in practice. If Hurst is ready for significant work as a rookie, it will likely come at the "X" position vacated by Mike Evans when he signed with San Francisco in free agency. That would put Hurst on our fantasy radar, but his snaps would come at the expense of one of the three established receivers - Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan. It's a good problem to have if you're Baker Mayfield, who is undervalued coming off of a season when he and a lot of his offense suffered injuries. |
Buccaneers | Big role for Kenneth Gainwell Mon Jun 15, 04:12 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Kenneth Gainwell has been referred to as 'running back 1B' by head coach Todd Bowles.
| Footballguys view: Between Bucky Irving's injury issues in 2025 and Gainwell's big moments as a receiver and runner for the Steelers last yaer, this just makes sense. The Bucs giving Gainwell a two-year, $14 million also indicates that they don't see him as a backup or change of pace option. Irving has more juice than Gainwell, but their ADP's should not be 50 picks apart. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Coach endorses Baker Mayfield Sun Jun 14, 06:11 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has been 'all business' amid contract extension talks, according to head coach Todd Bowles, and Bowles said there is 'absolutely no question' that he wants Mayfield to stay with the Buccaneers long term.
| Footballguys view: This is a story worth monitoring because Mayfield has been good as a Buc, but $50+ million a year good? Mayfield is 31 and if his play is declining (he had a rough second half of the season, but the whole offense did, including with his and other key players suffering injuries), then committing to him long term would be a mistake. The Bucs don't have a quarterback they have bene developing on the roster, but they did sign UDFA Jalon Daniels, who is a favorite of NFL Films legend Greg Cosell. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving takes part in OTAs Thu Jun 11, 01:37 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) took part in the team's OTA session on Thursday, June 11.
| Footballguys view: He's a player who is coming back from an injury, but Irving is expected to be near full strength for training camp. Irving is a playmaker, but the Buccaneers might use a bit more from Kenneth Gainwell or Sean Tucker in what could be more of an RBBC than Irving's Fantasy GMs want. We see Irving as a low-end RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |
Buccaneers | TB signs B.T. Potter Mon Jun 8, 09:14 PM
Free-agent K B.T. Potter has reportedly signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source on Monday, June 8. The Buccaneers have also waived P Aidan Laros.
Link to story Buccaneers | Chris Godwin firing on all cylinders Mon Jun 8, 12:11 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin has been able to participate in the offseason program at full strength, according to head coach Todd Bowles. 'Obviously his knowledge of the game helps the younger guys but his route running is sharp, he looks smooth running his routes and he understands the offense very well,' Bowles said. 'We know the playmaker he's going to be for us.'
| Footballguys view: Godwin is needed now more than ever as the wide receiver room enters a new era without Mike Evans. A vintage Godwin performance as he works alongside Emeka Egbuka this season can really help get the Tampa Bay offense back to being a top-five unit like it was in 2024, which was the last time the Buccaneers had a winning season, made the playoffs and won the NFC South. Godwin is being drafted as WR40 in Round 7. |

Buccaneers | Cody Mauch's knee feeling fine Sun Jun 7, 11:40 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Cody Mauch (knee) has completed the rehab process for his surgically-repaired knee and said that he is not experiencing any psychological or physical concerns. He is continuing to wear a knee brace for protection but claimed that its presence did not bother him while he worked out during recent OTAs. In addition, Mauch will be playing at a weight of 325 pounds this year, compared to a playing weight of 315-318 pounds for the 2025 season, but feels that it will not impact his mobility.
| Footballguys view: Mauch only played 138 snaps last year. He was one of four Bucs offensive linemen to miss significant time in 2025. With better injury luck, the offense should improve from the slump it entered after Baker Mayfield got banged up against the Lions in Week 7 last year. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield unlikely to hold out Sat Jun 6, 10:53 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is not likely to stage a holdout from mandatory minicamp, which begins on June 16, even though the two sides are not believed to be close to finalizing a contract extension. According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, discussions are in the early stages but Mayfield will not negotiate a long-term deal once training camp has started.
| Footballguys view: The two sides are not close on a contract agreement, and Mayfield seems to have a self-imposed deadline for negotiations to be done before training camp. With the deadline closer to August, there's no need for Mayfield to hold out during mandatory minicamp. While he may not be quite what he used to be, Mayfield is still an above-average starter, and he should get compensated as such. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not close on contract Fri Jun 5, 11:07 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said he and the team aren't close in contract negotiations, and talks will end once the season begins.
| Footballguys view: In the final year of his deal, Mayfield is looking for a new long-term contract. Mayfield is entering this season without WR Mike Evans, and he's coming off a season where he had 3,693 yards passing with 26 passing touchdowns. He may never get back to the 40-plus touchdown guy he was a couple of years ago, but Mayfield is a solid starter who should be able to get appropriate compensation. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving expected back in 'Summer or Fall' Tue May 26, 01:32 PM
Bucs HC Todd Bowles says he expects RB Bucky Irving to be back later "in the summer or fall" as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
| Footballguys view: While multiple reporters are indicating a summer return is more likely, the fact that Bowles mentioned this could carry into fall is an eyebrow raiser. After a 1,000-yard rookie season, Irving rushed for 588 yards with one touchdown and caught 30 passes for 277 yards with three TDs last season. There's still time before the season starts, but this is worth watching. Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker are the other primary backs on the roster. |
Buccaneers | Stardom predicted for Rueben Bain Jr. Sun May 24, 04:17 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-round draft choice Josiah Trotter signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 21. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Trotter is the second son of Philadelphia Eagles great Jeremiah Trotter to get drafted and play in the NFL. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was drafted by the Eagles in the fifth round of the 2024 draft. His little brother could start at middle linebacker from day one, but he will have to improve in coverage to become a true three-down player and hit his ceiling in IDP leagues. |

Buccaneers | Sean Tucker will have to bid his time Mon May 18, 12:33 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker appears to be in line to be the No. 3 back behind RBs Bucky Irving (shoulder) and newcomer Kenneth Gainwell. 'Right now, Bucky is on track to be ready to go. I think the combination of Kenny and Bucky are very similar as far as the skill set. Weight, size, all that,' running backs coach Skip Peete said. 'They're both capable of running the ball and running routes, catching and all that. They're not very large people, but they're willing pass protectors. Sean has continued to improve. He flashes sometimes, and he does a good job, and I think he will continue to get better.'
| Footballguys view: Tucker has shown the ability to produce in short-yardage situations. He scored five of his seven touchdowns from within six yards of the goal line last year. Listed at 195 pounds, Irving, who is coming off shoulder surgery, isn't a prototypical lead tailback in terms of size. After he missed seven games in the previous campaign, Gainwell and Tucker could turn the backfield into a committee under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who drew criticism for his inconsistent usage of star running back Bijan Robinson in Atlanta. It's a backfield to monitor in coming weeks. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving to be limited in OTAs Sun May 17, 10:15 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be a limited participant in organized team activities and should be completely healthy by the beginning of training camp.
| Footballguys view: In the meantime, free agent pickup Kenneth Gainwell and RB3 extraordinaire Sean Tucker will get a head start in new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's offense. Irving is still the most valuable fantasy running back on the Bucs, but after Robinson called the backs interchangeable, the ADP spread between him and Gainwell shouldn't be five rounds. |
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka could see a production uptick Fri May 15, 03:10 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak thinks that Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka could lead the NFL in targets and receptions in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Third round pick Ted Hurst is slated to play at the "X" receiver position vacated by Mike Evans, so Egbuka can move back to his best spot at "Z" receiver or flanker, which is the wide receiver spot that can be moved around the formation. Egbuka got off to a very hot start last year, but once he was playing more in Evans spot and Baker Mayfield got banged up, his production dropped off. Egbuka could be one of the biggest breakout players of 2026 and he should be a consideration in the fourth round of drafts. |
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka to settle in as flanker Tue May 12, 04:05 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will reportedly settle in as the 'Z' outside receiver, or flanker, after playing numerous spots as a rookie, according to Buccaneers.com's Scott Smith on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: Incoming Bucs offensive coordinator Zac Robinson used to coach Cooper Kupp with the Rams, and he said on Tuesday that Egbuka has a very similar approach and instincts. The coach also confirmed the plan is for Egbuka to settle into the flanker role in the team's base offense, but that his football instincts make it easy to move him around in order to exploit matchups and maximize the production of the passing game this fall. Egbuka, who was WR4 over the first five games last year, is currently being drafted as WR19. |
Buccaneers | Bucky Irving will be limited in OTAs Tue May 12, 03:16 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be limited at the start of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: Irving is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. According to local reports, the hope is that he'll be fully cleared by training camp. While he has been participating in rehab, team officials are taking a cautious approach to his return to full practice. We'll be watching for more on Irving in coming weeks. In the meantime, free-agent addition Kenneth Gainwell will get more work as the team installs new coordinator Zac Robinson's scheme. |
Buccaneers | Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell seen in a similar way Tue May 12, 01:15 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson told the media that RB Bucky Irving and RB Kenneth Gainwell, 'can kind of match each other in certain ways with what they can do in the pass game.'
| Footballguys view: Gainwell, who was signed to replace the departed Rachaad White, rushed for 537 yards and five touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry, and caught 73 passes for 486 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last year. He eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards on the season and was voted by his teammates as Steelers team MVP. With Irving coming off shoulder surgery performed earlier this year, Gainwell will get a chance to get a head start in the team's new offense. We expect a timeshare with Irving leading the way, but Gainwell's progress should be monitored. |
Kenny Gainwell player page
Buccaneers | Ted Hurst could fill X spot Tue May 12, 11:41 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-round pick WR Ted Hurst could fill the X-receiver spot, according to offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. Hurst can run, has great hands and is an instinctual player, according to Robinson.
| Footballguys view: According to Tampa Bay Times staffer Rick Stroud, Hurst "owned" the Bucs' first rookie minicamp, drawing the most targets and making the most catches over two days of practice. Hurst has big shoes to fill if he's going to handle the vacated Mike Evans role. But he has the size (6-4, 210 pounds) and speed (4.42) to be a true X receiver like Evans, who can stretch a defense both vertically and horizontally. Still, keep expectations in check as Hurst starts his career behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan at the top of the depth chart. |
