The 2024 NFL schedule is due to be released this evening, but Buccaneers’ fans have at least a preview of what the season will look like. According Jordan Schultz, the Bucs will host the Washington Commanders in their season opener:

This likely would mark the first NFL action for the 2024 second-overall pick, QB Jayden Daniels. The matchup may be fortuitous for the Bucs as head coach Todd Bowles has developed a reputation for abusing rookie passers. Since Bowles joined Tampa Bay as a defensive coordinator, the Bucs have gone 10-5 against rookie quarterbacks.
