Will the Buccaneers New OC Raid the Falcons on His Way Out?

0

The arrival of Zac Robinson as the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator not only reinforces the style and relationship with Baker Mayfield —who previously worked together when Robinson coached the Los Angeles Rams—but also opens the door for several players and assistants familiar with his system in Atlanta to potentially end up in Tampa Bay. This makes particular sense if they fit the Bucs’ needs and if free agency and salary cap space allow it. The Bucs could even sign players from the Falcons.

1. Kyle Pitts (TE): The big target

The tight end position is the name generating the most buzz. Kyle Pitts, the former fourth overall pick in the draft, is one of the best playmakers in the NFC and will be a free agent in 2026 if the Falcons don’t retain him with a tag or extension.

  • Why he fits in Tampa Bay: The Bucs could need a playmaker at the position if Cade Otton leaves — and Pitts is elite at creating mismatches on the route.
  • Risk: The price would be high, and Atlanta could use the franchise tag or extend it.

If the Bucs offer real space at the top and a central role in attack, Pitts would be a risky but high-impact move.


2. Tyler Allgeier (RB): Power back for Tampa

Another notable name is Tyler Allgeier, a future free agent. He rarely gets the spotlight, but he’s a short, physical, and consistent running back with over 2,800 rushing yards since arriving.

  • What it offers: A good complement as a second-level runner, physical for wear and tear and protection.
  • Situation on the Bucs: With Rachaad White likely out and Sean Tucker restricted, Allgeier could compete for snap volume.

3. Elijah Wilkinson (OL): Versatility in the line

Tampa Bay’s offensive line is strong when healthy, but depth is always a factor when competing. Wilkinson has played all season at right tackle for Atlanta and can also play guard.

  • Fit: It provides versatility and can be a solution to injuries without losing level of play.

Would coaches from Atlanta also be included?

The Falcons’ staff includes some interesting names who could follow Robinson:

TJ Yates – Passing Game Coordinator / QBs Coach

Former quarterback with experience in several franchises, he knows Robinson’s system and could fit well as quarterbacks coach or even with responsibilities in the passing game.

Ken Zampese – Senior Offensive Assistant

A veteran with years of experience and a knack for creating offensive plays and maintaining calm within the staff.
He helps keep the offense intelligent and balanced.


Last shot. Realistic bets for the Bucs

Best case:

  • Kyle Pitts arrives to transform the TE position in Tampa.
  • Tyler Allgeier strengthens a backfield in need of physical options.
  • Wilkinson provides extra protection in the OL.
  • Yates or Zampese help to consolidate the new scheme.

Contract realism and cap space:
Convincing Pitts will require weight and strategy—Atlanta can either keep him on the tag or extend his contract. Other free agents are less expensive and easier to fit onto the Bucs’ roster without sacrificing future resources.
