Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread

[Snake]

Some people were actually convinced this team would meaningfully compete lol

What if Bucs go 13-4 with Mayfield, would you be happy with that?

Sure would.

[Naismith]

I hope they don’t sign Baker. I see no benefit and potentially negating a Dean comp pick would be really irresponsible.

I think it’s a guarantee they sign one of these QBs with starting experience to compete against/backup Trask.

[Doctor]

You mean do the thing they've been saying they want to do this whole time? Bold take.

Clearly they have so much faith in Trask.

[Bootz]

Ain't nobody trading for a trash guard, fam. Especially one in their contract year.

I also would be surprised if we can find a trade partner, but there is alot of movement with guards at the start of the legal tampering period, so maybe somebody would get desperate? I wouldn't hold my breath.

It doesn't matter if we cut or trade him from a savings perspective, the Bucs get $5.3 million in cap space with $4.3 million in dead cap either way.

His deal also comes with 4 void years. No team is gonna take that on in addition to his $7.5mil salary.

I hadn't thought about the void years, but that makes it even less likely for getting a trade partner.

Adios Mr Mason.

[Bootz]

Slight glimpse into the future.



Taylor is a above average RT and he'll be making $20mil/year. Tristan Wirfs will be signing a new deal soon. Negotiations will start above this amount.

[_MB_]

I don't get off on calling NFL players "trash" but that's just me.

[Grahamburn]

Gotta keep up with the Rams for the race for Caleb Williams.

Baker Mayfield is not the right course of action in that endeavor

He was 2-8 as a starter last season.

Baker also threw 10 TD's and 8 INT's. I would be as excited about the Bucs picking up Mayfield as I would a return of Jamies Winston.

[Bootz]

10 TDs and 8 INTs...In 10 games. TRASH

[Doctor]

I mean, do people really put no weight on anything else... like the system, the coach, the players or scheme... it's purely just "he had his hand on a football and threw 10 TDs".

[Snake]

He has arm talent, that’s about it. Same as Winston.

Huge disappointments relative to draft position.

Edit: Winston can actually scramble tho.

[Bootz]

Those of us who have played realize that at the end of the day it really is that simple. Oh! But I'm sure you will want to hide behind a nuanced discussion.

Things have to be near perfect for Baker to excel consistently. And even so, he won’t be elite.

[Redrum]

[Backside]

4/52. I like Dean. Fine with this move in a vacuum. Still unsure what the plan is.

[Redrum]

[Bootz]

Pretty sure his cap hit is minimal this year and there's like 37 voided years added on. Even still I think we overpaid him.

[Doctor]

Oh wow. I did not see this coming at all. What a re-sign.

[Grahamburn]

Very happy to keep Dean. LVD next please.

[Redrum]

I thought he was gone for sure. Not as much as I thought he would get. This opens up a lot of possibilities with their first round pick. I don't see them investing a lot in the QB position financially now.

[Bootz]

Anytime I hear that a team doesn't plan go invest a lot in their QB position it means they don't plan to win. Honestly would've rather upgraded from Dean and re‐signed LVD with this money.

[njdungeoneer]

Very surprised by this move, but he might have gotten a better deal elsewhere.
He fits the man scheme(not zone), should be interesting to hear details on contract. Average per year isn't that bad.

[Bootz]

$26mil guaranteed

[BucsNBills]

Damn, great news! We're not pigeonholed into a corner now.

[MJW]

4-52-26 for Dean.

Great deal.

[Kona]

Bring on the OL/Edge guys early now.

Though I don’t mind another CB in the 3rd of a good one is there

[Snake]

They need to keep David. Hope to hear that announcement.

[Babeinbucland]

Rakeem Nuñez-Roches To the giants

[Redrum]

Love this video on Dean:
