ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler<\/a> reports the Buccaneers are not tendering restricted free agent S Christian Izien<\/a>, making him an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n

\"Christian<\/p>\n

Fowler adds Tampa Bay is interested in re-signing Izien still on the open market. It\u2019s worth noting the cheapest restricted free agent tag costs $3.52 million, so a new deal with the Buccaneers would likely come in lower than that number.<\/p>\n

Izien, 25, signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers following the 2023 draft. He signed a three-year, $2.075 million contract through 2025 with a base salary of $915k in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, Izien has appeared in 14 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 25 total tackles, one tackle for loss and one forced fumble<\/p>\n
