Franchise records

Sacks were not an official NFL statistic before 1982, so the Buccaneers’ own record book credits Lee Roy Selmon (1976 to 1984) with 78.5 career sacks, half a sack ahead of Warren Sapp, by including sacks from before the stat was tracked league-wide. Counting only the official, post-1982 statistic, Sapp is the franchise leader.
