What should be the Bucs’ top priority this offseason?
After the most successful three-year run in franchise history, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now staring down a daunting offseason full of massive question marks.
Their salary cap situation has forced a flurry of recent contract restructures and roster cuts, with more likely to come. Even with those moves, it’ll be difficult for the Bucs to even re-sign any of their own free agents, let alone make any significant additions from elsewhere.
They also have a massive void at quarterback, where only Kyle Trask is the only player under contract at the position for the 2023 season.
Of all of these huge tasks, which one is the most important for Tampa Bay to tackle this offseason?
We asked, and the fans answered:
Get the cap in as good of shape as possible for the long term, and fortify both sides of the LOS.

Get under the cap, and keep Lavonte. This season is a wash so just wait until we have cap space next season.

Future draft capital, clean the salary books and start strong next year with a solid base…. Not gonna happen because Bowles has to win now, so in that case maybe consider a Lamar option

Gathering up future draft capital whether that be thru trading back or collecting comp picks

O and D line to include edge

My answer to this question would almost always be offensive line…

Focus picks to become elite defense again until right offensive pieces come along, oline second

I’ll never be a fan of tanking in any capacity. But, that doesn’t change the fact that to win another SB… we have to set ourselves up for it and no one will convince me we even have a shot of winning it next year without a QB before Trask gets his feet wet.

Fortify the lines in both sides of the ball. If Trask turns out to not be the guy, address QB next season.
