This is great news. I was told the contracts of Russell Gage and Ryan Jensen would prevent the team from re-signing Winfield.

Well earned, but we'll see if it's well deserved.  That contract is for future performance not past performance.  I am fully on board with this contract, but that only increases the expectations that this team should win the division.  I've said the Bucs are pointing toward 2025, which is probably still true, but there are some very high priced guys in the prime of their career right now.  That includes Winfield, Baker, Evans, Wirfs will soon get paid.  You can't say this year is building toward something.  Is Winfield ever going to be better than he is now?  Wirfs, Baker, Evans are they ever going to be better than now?   

No.  The Bucs don't need to sell out the future, but they need to be in the conversation at the end of the season.  That's all.  Win 10 games .... no. 11 wins minimum.  That's what they need for me to consider the season a success.

so 10 wins then run the playoffs to win the SB . . . not a success?

Yes well another boat parade would be acceptable.

There are only four teams in history that made it to the Superbowl that way, and only one winner (10-6 is a better record than 10-7).  

Arizona Cardinals 2008 9-7 Lost SB
Los Angeles Rams 1979 9-7 Lost SB
New York Giants 2011 9-7 Won SB
Cincinnati Bengals 2021 10-7 Lost SB

There are five teams that went at 10-6 or 11-6 and they all won.  

Baltimore Ravens 2012 10-6 Won SB
Green Bay Packers 2010 10-6 Won SB
New York Giants 2007 10-6 Won SB
San Francisco 49ers 1988 10-6 Won SB
Kansas City Chiefs 2023 11-6 Won SB

That just goes to show that get that 11-6 and then we're in business.  10-7 not so much.

Glad to hear that hurdle is cleared.  Wonder if some of that freed up money now goes toward Wirfs next contract, or if they let him play out the year before re-signing?  Personally I hope they get that deal done sooner rather than later so both pieces of the puzzle can focus on the upcoming season,rather than one worrying about his contract situation and the upcoming season…

Yep!

Frees up cap for our rookie class and in-season operating expenses. 

Lock up our elite players like AWJ and Evans. 

Now, time to lock up another elite with Wirfs.

Wut? I say that contract is to continue the performance he has been giving. Don't try to be so cerebral that you outthink yourself.
