The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making moves this offseason, with Jason Licht at the helm leading the charge. The team has re-signed key players like Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, and Lavonte David, solidifying their talented roster that clinched the NFC South title and secured a playoff victory.
But the work is far from over for Licht, as he is still in negotiations with Antoine Winfield Jr. and Tristan Wirfs for contract extensions. Despite the ongoing talks, Licht remains confident that deals will be finalized soon.
Both Wirfs and Winfield have been standout performers for the Bucs since being drafted in 2020, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors along the way. With Wirfs entering the final year of his rookie contract and Winfield being retained through the franchise tag, securing their long-term futures is a top priority for the franchise.
While details on the extensions were not disclosed by Licht, he expressed optimism about reaching positive outcomes. With the NFL Draft approaching, the Buccaneers are gearing up to address their various needs and build on the success of the past season.
Licht emphasized the importance of strengthening both the offensive and defensive lines, hinting that the team may target these areas early in the draft. Despite re-signing Mayfield, the possibility of adding another quarterback is not off the table, as the team continues to evaluate all options to improve the roster.
