The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made significant strides this offseason, focusing on defensive upgrades through both free agency and the draft. General Manager Jason Licht has been proactive, signing notable players and undrafted free agents like safety Shilo Sanders to enhance the roster. However, competition for roster spots is fierce, particularly at safety, where the team is expected to retain only four to five players, including former All-Pro Antoine Winfield Jr.

Despite his potential, Sanders faces an uphill battle to secure a place on the final roster. Other safety candidates and the deep talent pool at this position create a challenging environment. The team's overarching goal remains a strong push for a postseason run in 2025. Licht’s aggressive strategy indicates a commitment to building a competitive team ready to contend for playoff success.
