Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Anthony Nelson

LB

The veteran extended his streak of seasons with multiple sacks to five while also recording a defensive touchdown for the first time in his career in Week 8 against the Saints. Nelson's 385-snap tally on defense was his lowest since 2021, although that's largely explained by the fact he missed the last two games of the season due to his knee injury. Nelson is committed to the Buccaneers through the 2026 season, and he's projected to continue filling his customary rotational role during his contract year.

Jamel Dean

CB

Dean put together a career-high INT total in a contract year, holding down the starting job at left cornerback whenever he was healthy. The veteran defensive back is still only 29 years old and should garner plenty of interest on the open market if he and the Buccaneers don't come to an agreement on an extension.
