The Buccaneers re-signed veteran William Gholston to a one-year deal and added Lorenz Metz through the Player Pathway Program. Gholston, entering his 12th season, is a key player in franchise history.

He is joined by Lavonte David in staying with the team, forming a solid defensive unit with other key players like Vita Vea, Calijah Kancey, Logan Hall, and Greg Gaines.
