The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended up winning the NFC South Division title in 2022 campaign, although they finished with an 8-9 record. Tampa ended up getting blown out at home in the Wild-Card round 31-14 by the Dallas Cowboys in what was QB Tom Brady’s final NFL game.
The Bucs have tabbed QB Baker Mayfield, who split time with the division rival Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams, as the new starter on the Suncoast.
Mayfield might have the best receivers he has had in his NFL career in WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage Jr., while TEs Cade Otton and Ko Kieft are also on the rise. Mayfield’s understudy in L.A., John Wolford, will compete with Kyle Trask for the backup QB spot.
RB Chase Edmonds was brought in to compete for the No. 2 job with RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn for touches behind new starting RB Rachaad White. That’s because the team parted way with RB Leonard Fournette, while RB Giovani Bernard elected to retire.
