Bucs at a Crossroads: Evans Exit, Draft Depth, and Combine Buzz

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Pewter Report suggests Mike Evans could depart Tampa Bay in free agency amid a crowded WR room and his bid to climb top‑10 all‑time lists; the Bucs are weighing how Zac Robinson’s offense would feed Evans or his replacements (Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, etc.) and are prioritizing TE/WR depth in the draft (potential Otton exit, Ko Kieft re-signed). There’s talk of potential trades (Maxx Crosby) with Winfield Jr. possibly used as an asset, plus ongoing draft buzz about prospects like Sonny Styles and Ty Simpson’s interview; the leaked NFLPA report card paints TB poorly overall despite Licht’s A‑, signaling the franchise’s ongoing rebuild questions.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said New England will look at everything to improve the roster, keeping the door open to potential moves like trading for Eagles star A.J. Brown. Brown, who formerly played for Vrabel in Tennessee, has been productive but his 2025 numbers dipped, and any deal would depend on compensation and fit. Eagles GM Howie Roseman suggested you don’t improve by subtracting great players, so a Brown trade remains speculative as the draft approaches.

Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine highlighted four themes: C.J. Stroud’s stock has declined amid persistent trade rumors and public Texans’ backing, with teams weighing a potential fifth-year option; Maxx Crosby’s trade value could exceed past mega-deals as teams circle the Raiders; two offensive-minded head coaches—Sean Payton and Dave Canales—will relinquish playcalling in 2026 to coordinators, signaling a possible shift toward a CEO-style leadership; and the draft landscape looks more “best available” and value-driven, with emphasis on non-premium positions and fewer blue-chip quarterbacks at the top.
