Top Buccaneers News

  • Buccaneers' Christian Izien: Not tendered by Tampa Bay

    The Bucs will not extend a restricted free agent tender to Izien prior to the start of the new league year next Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Izien, therefore, will be allowed to become an unrestricted free agent. The 25-year-old has appeared in 45 regular-season games for the Bucs over the last three seasons, logging 165 tackles (111 solo), five pass breakups, including three interceptions, and three forced fumbles.

  • Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: Leg issues shorten rookie season

    Morrison totaled 26 tackles (19 solo), four defensed passes and one fumble recovery across 10 regular-season games in 2025.

    Morrison's NFL debut was delayed until Week 2 due to a quadriceps injury, while hamstring issues, which also wiped out his entire preseason, cost him another five games. The 2025 second-round pick did get back on the field for the last three games of the regular season after his final set of absences, finishing in solid form with 13 tackles (eight solo), a pass defensed and a fumble recovery in that span. With a healthy offseason and preseason, Morrison could certainly make a push for a much larger role in 2026 after averaging 35.9 defensive snaps per contest as a rookie.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Workload boost in '25 season

    Vea recorded 34 tackles (16 solo), including 4.5 sacks, two defensed passes and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    The mammoth defensive tackle logged a whopping 760 snaps on defense while playing a full season's worth of games for the first time since 2019. Vea still saw a drop in his sack production after recording a career-high 7.0 QB takedowns in 2024, while his tackle tally was also his lowest over the last three seasons. Nevertheless, Vea remained a key cog on the Buccaneers' defensive front, and he remains under contract through the 2026 season at a cap hit of $22.2 million, per Spotrac.

  • Buccaneers' Anthony Nelson: Solid again in complementary role

    Nelson (knee) recorded 38 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two defensed passes, including a pick-six, and two forced fumbles across 15 regular-season games in 2025.

    The veteran extended his streak of seasons with multiple sacks to five while also recording a defensive touchdown for the first time in his career in Week 8 against the Saints. Nelson's 385-snap tally on defense was his lowest since 2021, although that's largely explained by the fact he missed the last two games of the season due to his knee injury. Nelson is committed to the Buccaneers through the 2026 season, and he's projected to continue filling his customary rotational role during his contract year.

  • Buccaneers' Connor Bazelak: Sticking with Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers re-signed Bazelak to a one-year, $1 million contract on Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Bazelak spent the latter half of the 2025 campaign handling the emergency No. 3 quarterback role for Tampa By, working behind both Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater. While the former Bowling Green standout didn't actually record a single regular-season appearance as a rookie, his debut year as a pro was ultimately encouraging. Bridgewater is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the Buccaneers will likely either re-sign the veteran or bring in another backup option behind Mayfield, leaving Bazelak to again compete for the third-string gig.

  • Buccaneers' Greg Gaines: Handled rotational role in '25

    Gaines posted 23 tackles (12 solo) including 2.0 sacks across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Gaines spent his third campaign in Tampa Bay in his customary rotational role, seeing action on 369 defensive snaps and recording multiple sacks for the first time since his final season with the Rams in 2022. Gaines has proven to be a solid fit for head coach Todd Bowles' defensive scheme, so a return to the Buccaneers on another modest one-year deal would be a realistic possibility.

  • Buccaneers' Haason Reddick: Second straight modest season

    Reddick recorded 31 tackles (18 solo) including 2.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 13 regular-season games in 2025.

    Reddick arrived in Tampa Bay last offseason on a one-year, $14 million deal in hopes of putting a mostly forgettable 2024 with the Jets behind him. However, the veteran pass rusher put together a second consecutive lackluster campaign, and he missed four games due to knee and ankle injuries. Set to turn 32 early in the 2026 season, it remains to be seen whether Reddick will be welcomed back to the Buccaneers at a reduced salary, or whether another team will be convinced it can coax another double-digit sack season out of the 2017 first-round pick.

  • Buccaneers' Logan Hall: Career-high tackle total in '25

    Hall recorded 39 tackles (18 solo) including 1.5 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    The fourth-year defensive end played a career-high 609 snaps on defense, leading to a new high-water mark in tackles. Hall played at least 51.0 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 of 17 games while operating as the starting right DE, but he disappointingly regressed in terms of getting to the quarterback after posting a career-best 5.5 sacks in 2024. Nevertheless, he has proven to be a durable rotational player, missing just two regular-season games in his career, so he could attract interest on the open market.

  • Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Solid production in contract year

    Dean (shoulder) recorded 46 tackles (38 solo) with 1.0 sacks, nine passes defended including three interceptions, one of which was a pick-six, and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-season games in 2025.

    Dean put together a career-high INT total in a contract year, holding down the starting job at left cornerback whenever he was healthy. The veteran defensive back is still only 29 years old and should garner plenty of interest on the open market if he and the Buccaneers don't come to an agreement on an extension.

  • Buccaneers' Cody Mauch: Should be ready for training camp

    Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday that Mauch (knee) is slated to be healthy for the start of training camp, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Mauch injured his knee in mid-September and missed the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Prior to getting hurt, he had started 36 consecutive regular-season contests to begin his NFL career. Mauch figures to retake his starting role at right guard when the 2026 campaign kicks off.

  • Buccaneers' David Walker: Should be healthy by training camp

    Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday that Walker (knee) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    After being selected by Tampa Bay in the fourth round of last April's NFL Draft, Walker missed all of his would-be rookie campaign due to a torn ACL. It sounds like he's progressed well in his recovery, but Licht's comments don't make it clear if Walker will be able to participate in OTAs. Regardless, the Central Arkansas product is in line to make his NFL debut in 2026 and could serve in a key rotational role.
