Higbee's Extension Leaves Bucs Seeking TE

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers search for a starting tight end ahead of the 2026 free agency period has been complicated by Cade Ottons uncertain future. With Tyler Higbee of the Los Angeles Rams off the market after signing a contract extension, the Bucs must now look to free agency or the draft. Free agent options include David Njoku, Isiah Likely, Chig Okonkwo, Jonnu Smith, and Will Dissly, with Dissly being a budget-friendly choice. The Buccaneers are expected to focus on the 2026 NFL draft, which features a strong class of tight ends, to fill the position without overspending.
