Buccaneers To Sign Linebacker Christian Rozeboom

The move points to a short-term boost at inside linebacker with Lavonte David's future unresolved.

Overview

  • The Buccaneers agreed to sign linebacker Christian Rozeboom on Monday, according to his agents speaking to NFL Network.
  • Multiple outlets report the contract is a one-year deal, signaling a stopgap addition rather than a long-term commitment.
  • Rozeboom led the Panthers with 122 tackles last season and has 257 tackles over the past two years with Carolina and the Rams.
  • He started 15 games for Carolina in 2025 and profiles as a strong run defender with weaker pass coverage, which likely points to early-down usage.
  • Tampa Bay has been fortifying the position with veterans, adding Alex Anzalone earlier this offseason, and Rozeboom stays in the NFC South after a year in Carolina.
