The signing of second-round picks has become quite the storyline this offseason. While the negotiations in Cincinnati between Shemar Stewart and the Bengals have been the posterchild for it, many teams have found themselves in a similar situation— The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are no longer in that boat. The Bucs have agreed to terms with Benjamin Morrison and now can move ahead all systems go as the team turns to the start of training camp.

With Morrison in the fold, the Buccaneers’ cornerback room has gone from barren to relatively crowded. Tampa Bay has now added three noteworthy members to the room through the draft and free agency, not including the additions of players returning from injury. That influx of talent has led some to suggest a surprise veteran-cut could be made before the start of the season. The Bucs’ defense, in particular the inability of their defensive backs to stay healthy, operated as a massive Achilles’ heel for the team last season. For the 2025 Buccaneers, that group will need to be a catalyst and not a detriment.

Has to be better than last season. I like our added depth if guys get injured again.

I’m concerned about the defense as a whole and the secondary is no different.
