The Buccaneers signed Tucker, who had been a restricted free agent, on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Tucker recorded 320 yards on 86 carries in 17 games during the 2025 regular season, while working behind Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. While White is now with the Commanders, the Bucs added Kenneth Gainwell to their backfield via free agency last month, and the presence of the former Steeler sets the stage for Tucker to remain the team's No. 3 RB in 2026.

Latest Buccaneers News
Sean Tucker : Signs deal with Bucs
The Buccaneers signed Tucker, who had been a restricted free agent, on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Tucker recorded 320 yards on 86 carries in 17 games during the 2025 regular season, while working behind Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. While White is now with the Commanders, the Bucs added Kenneth Gainwell to their backfield via free agency last month, and the presence of the former Steeler sets the stage for Tucker to remain the team's No. 3 RB in 2026.
Kemon Hall : Headed to Tampa Bay
Hall and the Buccaneers agreed on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Hall will head to Tampa Bay after appearing in four regular-season contests with the Titans in 2025, recording nine solo tackles while playing 66 snaps on defense and 70 with the special-teams unit. The cornerback will provide his new squad with an additional depth option in the secondary, and he'll look to compete for an active roster spot ahead of the 2026 campaign.
Chase Lucas : Joins Bucs’ defense
The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with Lucas on a one-year deal, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. After appearing in 15 regular-season games for the 49ers in 2025, Lucas hit the open market this offseason once he didn't receive a contract tender as a restricted free agent. Since entering the NFL as a 2022 seventh-rounder (by the Lions), Lucas has made most of his mark as a special teamer, a trend that figures to remain the case for the depth cornerback in Tampa Bay.
David Sills : Inks with Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Sills on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Sills logged career-best numbers during his only season with the Falcons in 2025, securing 18 of 36 targets for 191 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances. The 6-foot-3, 211-pound wideout will now work to secure a role on Tampa Bay's crowded wide receiver depth chart.
Justin Skule : Signed by Bucs
Tampa Bay signed Skule to a contract on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Skule previously played for the Buccaneers for three years from 2022-24, though he spent the 2025 campaign with the Vikings. He now returns to Tampa Bay to provide the team with added depth at offensive tackle.
Rakeem Nunez-Roches : Back with Bucs
Tampa Bay signed Nunez-Roches (ankle) to a one-year contract Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Nunez-Roches previously played for the Buccaneers from 2018 to 2022 before signing a three-year contract with the Giants ahead of the 2023 campaign. The veteran defensive lineman ended last year on IR due to an ankle issue and played in just nine games overall -- his fewest since 2018 -- but is presumably past the injury. Nunez-Roches could compete for a starting role next season following the departure of Logan Hall and with Greg Gaines, who is a free agent, uncertain to return.
Christian Rozeboom : Lands in Tampa Bay
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.
Dan Feeney : Inks contract with Tampa Bay
Feeney and the Buccaneers agreed to terms on a contract Monday. Feeney signed with the Buccaneers in mid-September after failing to make the Bills' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He ended up starting at left guard in 10 of 12 regular-season games for the Bucs last year. Feeney will likely serve in a depth role behind Cody Mauch (knee) and Ben Bredeson (knee) for the 2026 season.
