There haven't been many teams that have been as consistent as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the last five seasons.
With two different head coaches and quarterbacks, the Buccaneers have still found ways to reach the playoffs. They have won the NFC South for four straight years as part of that run.
A big reason for their success has been the talent on the roster outside of just the quarterback. General manager Jason Licht has been able to keep Tampa Bay's title window open despite having many aging stars on the roster.
Licht's work this offseason alone is why the team stands at eighth in Bleacher Report’s latest NFL power rankings by analyst Brent Sobeleski.
“The Buccaneers offense has the potential to be spectacular in 2025, with Baker Mayfield getting better each year, Chris Godwin's return and the first-round acquisition of Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka to make the team's group of wide receivers deadly. The Bucs finished third overall in total offense last year. They're now aiming for that No. 1 spot," Sobeleski wrote.
The problematic part facing the Bucs isn't that they have been consistent; it's that they haven't been able to take the next step since their Super Bowl win in 2021. Tampa Bay has won two playoff games since its victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, but has not reached the Conference Championship Game since then.
Being a consistent playoff contender is one thing. Building a championship-contending roster is something else.
And as the Buccaneers get ready for another season under head coach Todd Bowles, they are looking to make sure the roster is good enough not just to finish eighth in the league.
They are looking to win the whole thing.
