0:00It's March 31st. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is NFL News Today, football news powered by AI. Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a mixed bag in NFL free agency, losing big names like franchise star Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers and, cornerback Jamal Dean to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They fought hard to keep their own but couldn't this time around. On the flip side, they grabbed Linebacker Alex Enzelone from the Detroit Lions, defensive line in a Sean Robinson from the Carolina Panthers, and running back Kenny Gainwell from the Steelers to plug some gaps. Earlier this week, the team saw Linebacker Levante David retire after a stellar 14-year run, where he slowed down and coverage last season. Enzelone steps in as a solid upgrade there, bringing strong skills against the pass over David and the struggling Servo K. Adenis. At running back, Gainwell looks like a boost over Rashad White, especially as a runner and receiver, pairing nicely with Bucky Irving under the new.

The running back group got more versatile, which should throw the play-calling staff aiming for balance. But the secondary took hits, especially outside cornerback, now thin was Zion McCollum, second-year Benjamin Morrison, and Josh Hayes as the main. After losing Dean and depth guy, Kendall Vildor to New England. White receiver hurts, too, without Evans' big frame contested catches, leaving Chris Godwin, Emica Egbuca, and Jalen McMillan solid, but missing that, pure ex-threat. Draft season hits soon, and Tevbe's eyeing linebackers, corners, may be even a late receiver to round things out before training camp tests. The new. Look.
