After returning to the team he drafted after two seasons with the New York Jets, the release of starter Jordan Whitehead in 2024, the Bucs are safe to need. There have been some debates about moving nickelback Tykey Smith in a strong and safe manner. Even so, the team is losing safety and will need to add another team to the roster.
Tampa Bay has re-signed Kavon Meriweather, an exclusive rights free agent who made some progress last year with some playing time on defense in addition to a special team. Currently, Merriweather will be fourth-place safety on the team behind Christian Izien. Bucs also has a safety feature above Practice squad Ratchad’s Wisdom and Marcus Banks.
Marshall’s JJ Roberts, who turned 24 in September, ran 4.41 on Pro Day and was interested in Bucs, who wanted depth of safety and special team help. Roberts blocked the field goal last year due to a thunderous pack.
