The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are celebrating their 50th anniversary with an unprecedented project.
Raise the Flags, a 10-episode docuseries, and is now available on Prime Video. This series offers the most comprehensive look ever made about the franchise.
Directed by eight-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Trent Cooper, the series chronicles every key moment in the Bucs’ history, from their darkest years to the glory nights that culminated in two Lombardi trophies in Tampa.
A Complete Journey Through the History of the Buccaneers
Raise the Flags doesn’t just revisit well-known milestones. The series delves into the human and emotional context of each stage. How the decisions were made. What was happening inside the offices. What the players felt as their future was being decided in real time.
The perfect example is the 1995 Draft , when general manager Rich McKay maneuvered aggressively to select Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks in the same round, two future Hall of Famers who cemented one of the greatest defenses of all time.
The docuseries reconstructs that day from inside the draft room, with direct testimonies from McKay, Jerry Angelo, Joel Glazer and the players themselves.
More Than 100 Interviews and Exclusive Historical Material
The project, presented by Skydance Sports and Prime Video Sports, was spearheaded by co-owner Ed Glazer and features more than 100 interviews with players, coaches, executives, club employees and journalists.
All of this is supported by archival footage and historical recordings , many never before seen by the public, resulting in the most comprehensive account of the Buccaneers ever produced.
“Raise The Flags is a celebration of the people, the perseverance and the passion that built this franchise over the past 50 years,” explained Ed Glazer.
From Doug Williams to Tom Brady
The series tackles both the successes and the most difficult moments without filters. From the arrival of Doug Williams, one of the first Black quarterbacks in the NFL, to the controversial Bo Jackson case, the signing of Tony Dungy, and the rise of the defense that defined an era.
The journey to the two Super Bowls is also analyzed , including the historic impact of signing Tom Brady and everything that his arrival in Tampa entailed.
Nothing is idealized. Defeats, painful decisions, and years of frustration are treated the same as moments of glory.
Untold Stories
One of the great strengths of Raise the Flags is its intimate approach. It features anecdotes that rarely leave the locker room or the offices:
- Internal tensions between key players.
- Secret operations such as the handover by Jon Gruden.
- Moments of humor, communication errors, and decisions that shaped careers.
- Personal episodes told by the protagonists themselves.
Trent Cooper sums it up like this:
“This story has it all: effort, heartbreak, community, and unforgettable characters. Even longtime fans will discover things they never knew.”
The Big Debate: Who is the Best Buc in History?
Each episode concludes with an uncomfortable question for the team legends:
Who is the greatest player in Buccaneers history?
The answers vary, some are surprising, and one of the most anticipated is that of Jon Gruden, which is revealed in the fifth episode.
