Bucs cap space: How much salary cap space the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have, how they can add more

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into 2023 free agency with a whole lot to figure. The team had a disappointing 2022 season that saw them win the NFC South and make the playoffs, but with an 8-9 record. The defense ranked 13th and the offense ranked 16th, and they fit firmly into that mediocre level of the NFL.

Tom Brady retired following the season and this time it appears the retirement will stick. The NFC South is wide open enough that with a couple key moves, the Bucs could still compete in the division. For now, they'll head into free agency with Kyle Trask as the only quarterback on the roster. Blaine Gabbert is due to hit free agency, and even if he returns, they'll need to add more depth to compete at the position.

The Bucs head into free agency with limited cap space and having to get through a whole lot of Brady dead money this year. They have +6500 odds to win the Super Bowl and division-worst +500 odds to win the NFC South at DraftKings Sportsbook.
