WILD CARD
Mike Edwards - Double-digit stops in loss Edwards totaled 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 82 tack...
Impact Edwards checked in second in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers in his return from a one-game absence due to a hip issue, putting a strong cap on what was a productive 2022 campaign overall. The fourth-year safety set a new career high in tackles while recording multiple interceptions for the third straight season, and factoring in Monday's production, he posted four double-digit tackle tallies overall. Edwards is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in mid-March, and it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed a priority re-signing by the Buccaneers.

Deven Thompkins - Limited to return duty in loss Thompkins returned three kickoffs for 58 yards, ran back three punts for 34 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowbo...
Impact The undrafted rookie didn't garner active status until Week 14 against the 49ers, and he had his busiest day by far in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Falcons when he brought in four of nine targets for 25 yards, rushed once for 17 yards and generated 36 total return yards. Thompkins was notably kept in the organizational ranks over 2021 fourth-round pick Jaelon Darden, who was released after the Week 13 win over the Saints, and he could therefore have a legitimate chance to compete for a spot on the latter portion of the wide receiver depth chart in training camp with Julio Jones, Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman all unlikely to return.

Tom Brady won't rush decision on future, but changes loom for Buccaneers
While the GOAT makes up his mind on his playing future, the Bucs have big decisions to make on the coaching staff and the roster.JANUARY 17, 2023 • FOX SPORTS
Lavonte David - Stellar showing in wild-card loss David recorded 14 tackles (nine solo) in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 123 tackles (80 solo), three...
Impact David topped the Buccaneers in what could have been his final game for the team after 11 seasons in Tampa Bay. The veteran linebacker also tied his highest tackle tally since 2015 during the regular season, and his well-rounded stat line certainly appears to corroborate he can still be a prolific contributor as he potentially heads into unrestricted free agency at age 33.
