Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. said his goal is continuous improvement, even after signing a record four-year, $84.1 million deal. He believes there is still room for development.

“Every year, I just want to be better than I was the year before,” Winfield said, as reported by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “That’s my goal, and to make that happen, for everything to come to fruition as I envisioned it, is an amazing feeling. … I still can’t believe I accomplished that feat, but I’ve still got more in me.”

Buccaneers GM Jason Licht expressed confidence in Winfield and stated that making him the highest-paid defensive back wasn’t a big demand. “Every negotiation is a little different,” Licht said. “The point where we ended really wasn’t a huge ask when you have a player like Antoine who has done everything right from the minute we drafted him. He’s just a stellar teammate. … You feel good about doing good things for great players, great teammates and great people.”

Winfield emphasized that he is not “satisfied” with his career and aims to keep improving.

“I’m never satisfied,” Winfield said. “Every season I want to be better than I was the previous season. My (safeties) coach, (Nick) Rapone, always says, ‘To much that is given, much is expected.’ I know that coming in. I’m just going to be better than I was before. I’m going to train harder than I was before.”

Falcons

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson has been absent from offseason workouts due to an ankle injury. Atlanta HC Raheem Morris hopes to have Robinson back on the field for the veteran minicamp.

“I’m hoping — really, really positive about it as well, too — veteran minicamp, we’ll get a chance to see something, some movements, things of that nature,” Morris said. “But he’s progressing well. He’s been out there. He’s in great spirits.”

“He’s definitely learning the game above the neck. He’s the first person to want to talk about it, so you know that’s coming. But you can’t help but smile when you see Bijan. That’s just who he is, it’s what he is, and I’ve got a lot of confidence that he’ll be ready to go for our veteran minicamp. That’ll get him a nice little break in between there, and when we get to training camp, I’d love to see him rolling.”

Panthers

Panthers CB Jaycee Horn focused on weight training and bodybuilding this offseason to maintain his health.

“Just trying different things,” Horn said. “Obviously, what I did the years before didn’t work with dealing with injury — and it can be some unlucky-ness. Just trying to switch something up and start from ground zero and build my body back up.”

Horn is determined to prove himself as one of the best corners in the league this season.

“I watch tape,” Horn said. “I know what I’m capable of, and I still feel like I’m one of the best DBs in this league. I’ve just got to be out there to show it. So, that’s what I’m looking forward to doing.”
