Put on your sad faces people but the Bills have snagged Chubb.
3 year $43.55 MM contract.
According to Rick Stroud the Bucs are bringing back S. Tucker on a 1 year RFA deal.
Let's be real, their actions have not matched a SB Contender since they got TB12 and all that came alongside him. They haven't drafted particularly well. They haven't signed a significant FA. They haven't overturned deadweight coaches. None of those things considered breed a SB contender. I was hoping this offseason would be different all the way around considering how the season ended. It's not turning out to be and I think at the end of the 2026 season, we are facing a complete sweeping change in coaching staff and personnel.their lack luster signings so far make me think they are easing into a rebuild
thats why were are at an interesting fork in the road.
Last season the Bucs actually sold "SB contender" to fans, but their actions were not matched to that eg mostly modest FA period and still aging vets etc.
This off season they've shed Evans so the natural "contender" response would be to strike some big deal . . and yet "short term" offer to Hendrickson . .the position they need most?
I smell a rat at OBP. . that's been running around since 2022
Yes, I agree.
Those actions by the FO - draft only, budget FA, deadweight coaches - are all a team elevating other issues over competitiveness. Dead cap etc.
That's why I have said the team probably has more "loyalty" to Bowles than any of us might have. And it might even explain why they kept him on for this season, even with that collapse. He is their "caretaker" coach. The HC who would not only accept those constraints, but also who got them to the playoffs with Mayfield and Canales when they were planning on whatever might happen with Trask (and Leftwich?). The caretaker coach who "made due" with what he has while the team goes through the least expensive and slowest type of rebuild, mostly draft and value FAs, while also clearing out vets WITHOUT having to do what they did with Sapp and Lynch. Evans, LVD, Godwin, Vea . . .
I sort of see this offseason (so far) as the proof of elevating other issues over competitiveness. Maybe it will all turn around BUT if the Bucs lose Evans as they did and dont match it with some exciting FA move then it will almost be an inescapable thought that this has all been a slow rebuild ('22-'25) all along and it continues to 26 and, as you say, sweeping changes after that (hopefully)
Browning to the Bucs as the backup QB.

14m/year is decent too.

He can sit as rb3 where he belongs. Right JC?
RB room is set.
Feels bad the Bucs had to spend $10 mil on backups though when they don't have an edge rusher opposite of Diaby. :(
