OTAs are voluntary workouts, but Bucs veterans not here today: Shaq Barrett (injured), Mike Evans, Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean, Devin White, Lavonte David, Vita Vea, Ryan Jensen. On other end, Winfield, Godwin, Mayfield among the bigger names here.

The “O” in OTAs doesn’t stand for optional (“organized,” if you were curious), but that aspect of it is often well known when its time to hold them every offseason. As such, there were some Tampa Bay Buccaneers players that didn’t show up when Day 1 of OTAs came around on Tuesday.
