- The Bucs bring back Cade Otton after agreeing to 3-year deal
The Buccaneers are reportedly keeping one of their own, bringing back tight end Cade Otton on a three-year deal as Tampa Bay preserves the core of its tight end room. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport was the first to report the deal.
Otton has quietly become one of the more dependable pieces on the offensive side of the ball, and this move keeps a steady, underrated target in place for a few seasons.

Otton may not always get the same attention as some of the bigger names around the league, but his production has been there when he has been called upon. Across four seasons with Tampa Bay, he has totaled 207 receptions, 2,018 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns. Those numbers reflect a player who has consistently found ways to help the offense, even if he has not always gotten the spotlight.
This also feels like a move built around trust and value. The Bucs know what Otton brings to the table, and there is value in keeping a tight end who already understands the offense and has shown he can handle the volume that the team needs him to carry while assisting as a run blocker.
For Tampa Bay, bringing Otton back is the kind of move that helps keep things stable. He has been one of the more underrated players on the roster, and now the Bucs are making sure he stays that way in pewter and red.
