The day after Super Bowl LV, head coach Bruce Arians said he was “very confident” that his Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be able to retain the core of their Super Bowl-winning team. A few days later, he sharpened that belief into some vintage Arians terminology, telling wideout Chris Godwin, and linebackers Shaq Barrett and Lavonte David that their pending free agency was essentially irrelevant.
“Your ass ain’t going nowhere!” Arians told several of his team’s star players.
As it turns out, Arians was right. The rear ends of the team’s most coveted trio of free agents won’t be testing the market.
