Overview

  • The Buccaneers finished 8-9 and missed the postseason when the Falcons beat the Saints in Week 18, giving the NFC South to Carolina on tiebreakers.
  • Hours after elimination, Rachaad White posted "Uno out. Thank yaw forever for da past 4 years," and he is set to enter free agency as an unrestricted free agent.
  • White completed the season with 572 rushing yards, 218 receiving yards and four total touchdowns while appearing in all 17 games.
  • Bucky Irving’s rise and Sean Tucker’s low-cost depth have reduced White’s role, and multiple outlets suggest Tampa is unlikely to re-sign him as a backup.
  • Analysis pieces forecast additional roster changes in Tampa, with projections that veterans such as Haason Reddick could depart in free agency.
