The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't be satisfied with merely making the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season. The three-time defending NFC South champs are thinking Super Bowl after spending generously to retain quarterback Baker Mayfield, receiver Mike Evans, linebacker Lavonte David and All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield, Jr., plus make left tackle Tristan Wirfs the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
