Buccaneers Free Agent Targets is a look at how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers focused on shoring up their defense in free agency and the draft, and thus far, the results are very promising. Alex Anzalone, Ben Bredeson, Kenneth Gainwell, Al-Quadin Muhammad, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and A\u2019Shawn Robinson highlight the free agent class. With the draft additions of Rueben Bain Jr., <\/a>Josiah Trotter, <\/a>Keionte Scott, <\/a>DeMonte Capehart<\/a>, Billy Schrauth<\/a>, and Ted Hurst<\/a>, the Buccaneers have worked hard to shore up the roster.<\/p>\n

Buccaneers Free Agent Targets: Fortifying the Roster<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some free agent additions the Bucs should consider to solidify the roster.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. David Njoku, Tight End<\/li>\n
  2. Mekhi Becton, Guard<\/li>\n
  3. Trevon Diggs, Cornerback<\/li>\n
  4. Cameron Jordan, Edge<\/li>\n
  5. Jonnu Smith, Tight End<\/li>\n
  6. Jadeveon Clowney, Edge<\/li>\n
  7. Bobby Wagner, Linebacker<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Mekhi Becton, Guard<\/h3>\n

    2025 team: Los Angeles Chargers<\/a><\/p>\n

    Age entering 2026 season: 27<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Becton is another potential reclamation project. He has nothing to lose by signing with Tampa Bay to compete as a backup after being released by the Chargers. Becton has the physical tools and size to excel, and would be worth the risk for Tampa to bring him and compete for a job.<\/p>\n

    Jadeveon Clowney, Edge<\/h3>\n

    2025 team: Dallas Cowboys<\/a><\/p>\n

    Age entering 2026 season: 33<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Clowney still has enough in the gas tank, and he could make the roster as a situational pass rusher for the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

    T<\/a>revon Diggs, Cornerback<\/h3>\n

    2025 team: \u00a0Green Bay Packers<\/a><\/p>\n

    Age entering 2026 season: 27<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Diggs has had difficulty being on the field for the last three seasons, but he led the league with eleven interceptions in 2021. Taking a shot at resurrecting Diggs\u2019 career could be a gamble worth taking.<\/p>\n

    Cameron Jordan, Edge<\/h3>\n

    2025 team: New Orleans Saints<\/a><\/p>\n

    Age entering 2026 season: 37<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Jordan is a rare free agent, playing remarkably well late in his career. Jordan had 10.5 sacks last season and would be a great addition to the Bucs’ pass rush on obvious passing downs.<\/p>\n
