Well it isn’t as exciting as getting the regular season schedule or the NFL draft, but the Bucs and their fans can now look forward to the first time they will take the field in the 2016 season. Missing from the preseason schedule is the Miami Dolphins this year. It will be the first time in 16 years the two Florida teams won’t meet up in the preseason. Also worth noting is the first two preseason games are on the road to allow the organization extra time to complete stadium renovations.
