The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won the NFC South division for each of the last four seasons, thanks to a collection of improved clutch and defense offensive.
This certainly helps to be in a division where the Carolina Panthers have had one of the worst lists in recent years and the Saints of New Orleans remain in the salary ceiling for key decisions.

In the case of New Orleans, their ceiling concerns have become another off-season due to the choice of re-signal some of their solid runners. One of these players is the old second overall choice Chase Young.
The former Washington commander became Saint signed a huge three-year contract worth $ 51 million with New Orleans. Its average of almost $ 17 million a year is shocking for a player who only recorded 5.5 bags last season.
The writer to Bleacher Report Gary Davenport a It is clear how stupid the contract is for the saints.
“There was a time when Signing Edge-Rusher Chase Young for $ 17 million per season would have been considered a good deal. It was the second overall choice of the 2020 draft and won the honors of the defensive recruit of the year this season,” wrote Davenport. “However, after having recorded 7.5 bags during this recruit season, the product of Ohio State has torn its LCA in 2021 and has not been the same since.

“For any reason, the saints thought it was worth an extension of $ 51 million over three years which includes $ 33 million in guarantees.”
The saints have been a disaster in recent years. A disaster so bad that the buccaneers were able to use it to their advantage.
With New Orleans, which continues to make bad salary ceiling decisions, Tampa Bay’s grip on the NFC South could continue for at least another season.
