Their elite core is aging and the team is past their peak. They don't have a 1st round pick for the next 2 years and no 2nd round pick this year. They have a crummy propsect pool according to the Athletic. And if weather is your concern - there are a bunch of teams in good weather climates that have a much brighter future in the next 6-7 years than Tampa based on their current outlooks.

Live on the ocean, great weather year round, well run organization, best tax situation in the league. Tampa will be a preferred destination for a very long time- not matter how competitive they currently are.
