What do you think is the best and worst overall position group on the Bucs’ roster?
Every team has its strengths and weaknesses. In the post-Tom Brady era, that’s become apparent now more than ever.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have some great players on both sides of the ball, but a group is only as good as the sum of its parts. As such, there are some groups on the Bucs’ roster that are stronger than others, and some that present some serious question marks heading into the draft.
Here is both the best and worst position group on the Buccaneers’ roster as it stands:
The Bucs are set to retain a 10-game starter on the offensive line with the move.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are working to retain one of their offensive starters from the 2022 season.
The team announced Friday that it had extended a tender offer to left guard [autotag]Nick Leverett[/autotag] to make him an exclusive rights free agent.
The move prevents Leverett from negotiating with other teams, so Tampa Bay will look to go with Leverett’s experience as a starter on the offensive line as it heads into the 2023 season with a new quarterback behind center.
Because Leverett has not accrued three NFL seasons, he becomes an exclusive rights free agent instead of a restricted free agent, which would have allowed other teams to give him an offer that the Bucs would have had a chance to match.
Leverett joined the team in 2020 and got his first playing time in 2021, where he appeared in three games, and now it appears as if the 10-game starter in 2022 will stay in Tampa Bay for the time being. Leverett will get the opportunity to take the field in a Buccaneers uniform again after missing the team’s most recent playoff matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a knee and shoulder injury.
With Leverett taken care of, the Bucs will only have cornerback and special teams player Dee Delaney as its last remaining player eligible for the ERFA tender.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced their initial 53-man roster for the 2022 NFL season
After a long, challenging process of trimming down their roster from 80 players, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced the initial 53-man list that they’ll take into the 2022 NFL regular season.
This group is sure to look a little different between now and when the Bucs travel to Dallas in Week 1 to take on the Cowboys, but here’s how Tampa Bay’s roster currently looks after Tuesday’s cuts:

After another long offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will finally suit up for a football game Saturday night.
Sure, it’s just preseason, but when the Bucs kick off against the Miami Dolphins at Raymond James Stadium, it’ll be real, live football in front of your eyes.
As training camp gives way to exhibition games, opportunities for players on the roster bubble will become even more important, as cuts loom in the coming weeks.
Here’s the Bucs’ full 90-man roster heading into Saturday night’s preseason opener:
Check out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ full roster heading into training camp for the 2022 NFL season
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a heartbreaking exit in the second round of last year’s NFL playoffs, but they’re still just a year removed from winning the Super Bowl.
As they head into the 2022 season, the expectations for the Bucs are still at championship level, thanks in large part to the return of quarterback Tom Brady for at least one more year. That domino caused a few others to fall, with some key free agents returning on new contract extensions, and some quality veteran additions this offseason that replaced Tampa Bay’s most significant departures.
Here’s an updated look at the Bucs’ full roster as they prepare for training camp:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a few more fresh faces this year, as they look to make another Super Bowl run in 2022 after last year’s disappointing playoff exit in the second round.
They weren’t able to keep their entire starting lineup this time around, but some impressive veteran additions and another promising draft class should have the Bucs reloaded and ready to return to the postseason.
