So, uhh, things are gonna be pretty different in Tampa this year.
With one historic free-agent signing, the Buccaneers went from a national also-ran that rarely found themselves on national television to one of 2020's premier attractions. Then they went and doubled down with the biggest trade the organization has made since Jon Gruden came to town.
