Overview
- Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles said the team will add at least one cornerback, with one or two additions possible.
- The push follows the departures of Jamel Dean and Kindle Vildor in free agency, which thinned the cornerback group.
- Zyon McCollum is set as a core starter, while second-year corners Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish are in line for bigger roles.
- Tampa Bay ranked 27th against the pass in 2025, allowing 238.2 yards per game, which highlights the need for reinforcements.
- The Buccaneers have about $14 million in cap space and hold the No. 15 pick, creating multiple avenues to fill the vacancy, though no specific targets have emerged.
