The 1995 season, and calendar year, brought massive shifts to the franchise. In May, trustee Steven Story announced that the team had been sold to Palm Beach investor Malcolm Glazer for what was then a record price for a sports franchise. The sale was unanimously approved by the NFL in March and finalized in June. In between, the Buccaneers made draft history by landing two future Hall of Famers, Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, in the same round of the NFL draft. In Sam Wyche's final season at the helm, the team built on a strong finish to 1994 by rushing out to a 5-2 start, but seven losses in the next nine games prevented the franchise from breaking its streak of 13 straight losing seasons. Trent Dilfer, picked sixth overall in the 1994 draft, took over as the full-time starting quarterback but threw just four touchdown passes against 18 interceptions as the Bucs finished 31st in scoring with 238 points. Running back Errict Rhett had another strong campaign with 1,207 rushing  yards and 11 touchdowns, but the high-profile addition of former Cowboys wide receiver Alvin Harper did not bear fruit. The Bucs avoided double-digit losses for the first time since 1982 at 7-9 but the Bucs moved on from Wyche after the season.
