Coach Todd Bowles says the Bucs will listen to offers in either direction. GM Jason Licht can push for the NFC South or sell for future picks. The exact deadline date was not confirmed in the reports I found.
After an 0-4 start the Bucs won three of their next five. Six losses, all by seven points or fewer.
At Chicago, Sunday night, Nov 8. Before that: 43-13 at Carolina and 16-0 over Atlanta.

These are my model's numbers, not sportsbook lines. Each team gets a rating from its points scored and allowed so far, pulled halfway toward average because nine games is a small sample, plus 2 points for the home team. A line of Bucs -2.5 means the model would favor Tampa Bay by 2.5. I could not retrieve live betting lines for this season. Check a sportsbook before relying on any number here. SI's NFC South division odds are a place to start.
Pick any two teams. The model uses points scored and allowed this season, plus home field for the second team.
Same model as the Odds tab, not a sportsbook line.
Ranked by points scored minus points allowed per game after week 9. Source for all records and points: ESPN.
The club's free-agency tracker (April 13) lists no trades. The deadline is this week, and Bowles says anything is possible. This page does not show a deadline deal unless one is reported.
Still unsigned at the April 13 update: DL Greg Gaines, LB Deion Jones, G Michael Jordan, OLB Haason Reddick, WR Sterling Shepard, LB Anthony Walker.
Rounds, names and grades follow Sports Illustrated's final rookie-class grades (overall class grade: A). The club's own pick list gives No. 77 for the third-round pick and names the same other players; the two lists differ on a few slots, so treat the pick numbers as approximate. Bauer Sharp was acquired by trading up.
