This explains EVERYTHING...

Sebastian Georgiev discusses why the Buccaneers made no trades at the 2026 NFL trade deadline at 3-6, and Jason Licht has traded for a player in season just once since 2014. Tampa Bay stood pat on deadline day while 18 trades were reported around the league, including Jeffery Simmons reportedly going to the Bears a week after Chicago beat the Bucs 27-24. Vita Vea trade rumors with the Giants, Packers and Bengals went nowhere after the 1-year extension Vea signed in August, Todd Bowles said the team was listening, and the only Bucs moves were waiver and practice-squad ones. Here is why Licht keeps his draft picks, from the Steve McLendon trade in the 2020 Super Bowl season to the Rob Gronkowski deal that saved the pick that became Antoine Winfield Jr. Standing pat worked in 2022, 2023 and 2024, when the Bucs were 3-5, 3-4 and 4-5 at the deadline and still won the NFC South every time. It failed in 2025, when Tampa was 6-2, made no trade and finished 8-9. This year every loss has come by 7 points or fewer, Baker Mayfield and Bucky Irving have the Bucs ahead on point differential, Carolina and New Orleans lead the division by half a game, and the 2027 cap bill for Mayfield and Vea is coming.
