The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offseason has been an active one for general manager Jason Licht. While they did not make any major trades, they at least were active in the draft and are now poised to be in a better place on defense in 2026.
ESPN's Seth Walder took a look at all the moves by the Bucs and every other NFL team and wrote up the ones he liked the most and least. When it came to his favorite move they made, it centered on bringing in veteran pass rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad.
Walder writes, "The Buccaneers also lost Dean in free agency. Given the contract he signed -- $12.25 million per year from the Steelers -- I would have tried to keep him. They did add elsewhere, though, bringing in Muhammad (for a cheap $4 million after his 11-sack season), linebacker Alex Anzalone, defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson and running back Kenny Gainwell. The team also re-signed tight end Cade Otton. Bain, its first-round pick, should provide some pass-rushing juice."
The Bucs are hoping they will be more aggressive and successful than they were in 2025. Al-Quadin Muhammad is going to be an underrated facet of their pass rush in 2026.
