Jordan Whitehead returns to the Bucs after signing a two-year, $9 million contract. The safety has improved his game significantly, becoming more of a ball hawk in coverage. He was known for his physical run-stopping abilities but has evolved into a versatile player. Whitehead had a standout game against the Bills last season, intercepting Josh Allen three times.

Whitehead's return to Tampa Bay comes after stints with the Jets, where he showcased his skills as a playmaker. His familiarity with the Bucs' defense and coaching staff played a crucial role in his decision to come back. General manager Jason Licht wasted no time in securing Whitehead's return, recognizing his value to the team's defense.
