The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not necessarily need another receiver to add to their roster. With Mike Evans putting up 1,000-yard seasons and a collection of other pass catchers continuing to excel, the Buccaneers could have addressed other positions of need, including in the secondary and defensive line.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield had a career-best year in 2024, passing for 4,500 yards with 41 touchdowns as he spread the ball to a plethora of weapons, headlined by running back Bucky Irving and receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, who's returning from a season-ending injury.
