Bucs Face Total Reset After Key Departures

On March 31st, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off 2025 looking sharp, starting 6-2 before

everything fell apart.

They dropped seven of their last nine games, missing the playoffs in a brutal collapse

that hit harder than their usual mid-season dips.

This time, they couldn't climb out of the hole like before, and now the team's landscape

has shifted big time.

Mike Evans bolted to the 49ers chasing another Super Bowl ring, while Lavante David hung

up his cleats, ending an era for the Bucks.

General manager Jason Lickt still swears they're the 6-2 squad from early on, but head coach

Todd Bowles sees it differently.

He calls for a total mentality reset after losing those key leaders on and off the field.

Bowles figures their neither top dogs, nor bottom feeders.

They've got talent but need fresh voices to step up and rebuild the foundation, fixing

the.

Cracks that showed all season.

Everyone from players to staff has to buy in for this new era, or the Bucks risk another

underwhelming year in shaking up the whole organization.
