What grade did Bleacher Report give the Bucs offseason?

The Bucs 2025 campaign started with a ton of promise. They started the season 6-2 with a win over the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. They went into their Bye Week expecting to rest up and come out ready for a tough slate of games, but finished the season 2-7 after the break and lost their division title.

They needed to make some notable moves this offseason to get back into the thick of things. While they made no true splash signings or trades, they made sound moves and capped off their offseason by making a splash in the NFL Draft.

Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski wrote up his offseason grades on every NFL team. For the Bucs he awarded them a modest B grade.

Sobleski writes, "The team didn't make the postseason for the first time since Todd Bowles became head coach. Even with the previous three division titles, the team is almost perfectly mediocre with a 35-33 record over the last four years. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is on the last year of his current contract. This team needs to win now or possibly enter a rebuild. Mike Evans already left after 12 years with the franchise. Even so, the Bucs' concentration came on the defensive side of the ball. They're now bigger and more physical after the additions of veteran defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson and first-round edge Rueben Bain Jr., who was the one of the class' best overall picks. Bain joins YaYa Diaby and veteran free agent Al-Quadin Muhammad to muster one-on-one wins off the edge. Alex Anzalone and second-round rookie Josiah Trotter will help offset the loss of , who retired this offseason."
