Rotoworld Player News

DeAngelo Malone

FA Defensive End #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Free agent DE/LB DeAngelo Malone is visiting the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Mostly a special teamer, Malone played 327 defensive snaps during his four-year rookie contract with the Falcons — 216 of them came in his rookie season. He’ll compete for a roster spot if he lands in Tampa Bay.
Baker Mayfield

TB Quarterback #6

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reports the Buccaneers are expected to discuss an extension with QB Baker Mayfield this offseason.

Mayfield is in the final year of his three-year, $100 million extension signed in 2024 and has a $39.975 million cap figure. His play down the stretch was rough, but he also was clearly laboring through injuries. Mayfield, entering his age-31 season, is probably destined for an interesting negotiation as a quarterback who clearly isn’t in line with the league’s elite, but also a quarterback who deserves a premium contract compared to the league’s stop-gaps and bounce back candidates.
Christian Rozeboom

TB Linebacker #56

Buccaneers signed LB Christian Rozeboom, formerly of the Panthers.

Rozeboom totaled 122 tackles for the Panthers last season and started all 15 games he appeared in. The veteran linebacker has started 26 games over the last two seasons after being used primarily as a backup for the first three years of his career, and he becomes the second veteran linebacker to join the Buccaneers this offseason. Lavonte David, who is mulling retirement, could still return to play for the Bucs this season, but the team continues to strengthen it’s linebacking corps in the event David should choose to walk away from the game.
Marcus Epps

PHI Safety #39

Eagles re-signed S Marcus Epps.

The Eagles signed former Buccaneers safety and special teams player J.T. Gray as well. Both players are on one-year deals. Epps logged 250 defensive snaps and 121 special teams snaps while totaling 18 solo tackles and two TFLs last year. Gray played on 83 special teams snaps playing for the Broncos and Buccaneers last year. Epps can be expected to contribute defensively, but Gray’s ticket to the active roster is likely via special teams.
Kindle Vildor

NE Defensive Back #22

Patriots signed CB Kindle Vildor, formerly of the Bucs, to a one-year contract.

Vildor appeared in 12 games for the Bucs last year. He broke up three passes and intercepted one. A certified journeyman at this point in his career, he profiles as a backup for the Pats.
Dan Feeney

TB Guard

Buccaneers re-signed OG Dan Feeney.

Feeney joined the Bucs on a one-year contract last offseason. The veteran lineman wound up starting 10 games at right guard for them, earning a PFF blocking grade of 54.2 while allowing 21 pressures and four sacks. Feeney has 75 games of starting experience on his resumé and can fill in at either guard spot if needed next season.
Charlie Heck

MIA OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #77

Dolphins signed OT Charlie Heck, formerly of the Buccaneers, to a one-year contract.

Heck is a six-year veteran of the league who has 29 games of starting experience under his belt. In his lone season with the Buccaneers, Heck started six of the 17 games he appeared in, with all of his starts coming at right tackle. He earned a PFF grade of 45.2 last season while allowing 32 pressures and three sacks.
Luke Goedeke

TB Tackle #67

Buccaneers restructured Luke Goedeke’s contract.

The Bucs converted $20 million of Goedeke’s roster bonus into a signing bonus to clear $15.2 million in cap space for 2026. The fourth-year lineman signed a four-year, $90 million contract extension last offseason and appeared in 11 games last season after a foot injury sidelined him for multiple weeks. Goedeke earned a PFF blocking grade of 75.8 last season and did not allow a sack despite giving up 22 pressures.
Ko Kieft

TB Tight End #41

Buccaneers agreed to terms with TE Ko Kieft.

The phrasing suggests Kieft still has to sign on the dotted line, but the news comes straight from a post on Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht’s social media account and includes an image of Kieft dressed as a pirate, piloting a ship. The image may be the most exciting part of Kieft’s 2026 season—he failed to a target over the last two years—but we are happy for him nonetheless. The veteran tight end also suffered a season-ending leg fracture in Week 3 last year. Kieft should not be drafted in fantasy.
Al-Quadin Muhammad

TB Defensive End #96

Buccaneers signed EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad, formerly of the Lions, to a one-year contract.

Muhammad racked up 51 quarterback pressures and 12 sacks last season, ranking second among Lions defenders in both categories. Both figures are career highs. Muhammad turns 31 later this month. He can earn up to $6 million. The Buccaneers have signed multiple front-seven defenders in free agency.
