Christian Rozeboom: Everything you need to know

Rozeboom agreed to terms on a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rozeboom logged 15 regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2025, totaling 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. The 29-year-old now looks set to slide into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside fellow free-agent signee Alex Anzalone, presumably relegating 2025 breakout SirVocea Dennis to a reserve gig.

Rozeboom tallied 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season in 2025. The South Dakota State product recorded triple-digit stops for the second consecutive season while leading Carolina in total tackles. Rozeboom also set new career highs in sacks (2.0) and forced fumbles (one), starting all 15 regular-season games he appeared in for the Panthers. The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with Carolina last offseason and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent following the team's playoff campaign. Given his production, Rozeboom should draw interest from teams in need of inside linebacker help this offseason.

Rozeboom recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. Rozeboom was able to finish second on the team in takedowns behind cornerback Mike Jackson (11), reaching double-digit tackles for the first time since Week 11 and fourth time overall this year. The linebacker has now compiled 114 total tackles (53 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 14 contests this season.
