As the offseason progresses towards training camps, ESPN’s NFL Nation took to the task of ranking all 32 NFL team’s offseason moves by dividing them into four categories: Elite, Above Average, Average, and Too Soon to Tell. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell into the latter category of too soon to tell after their massive transition.
Out with Dirk Koetter and Mike Smith, in with Bruce Arians, Todd Bowles, and Byron Leftwich. Out with Gerald McCoy, in with Ndamukong Suh. At just about every position change has affected the Buccaneers, but that is not necessarily a bad change, as Jenna Laine of ESPN states the teams goal was to, “Restore a winning mentality for a Bucs team that has had double-digit losses in seven of the past 10 seasons” (Laine via ESPN).
