Buccaneers' Greg Gaines: Sticking in Tampa
Tampa Bay will sign Greg Gaines to a one-year, $3.5 million contract, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.Gaines was about as productive on a per-snap basis in 2024 as he was in his first season with the Bucs in 2023, and his role didn't truly shrink, but his numbers were slightly deflated because he missed two games in the middle of the season with a calf injury. He figures to play a moderate, nonstarting role on the interior of Tampa Bay's defensive line again in 2025.

Buccaneers' Greg Gaines: Modest numbers in '24
Greg Gaines provided 17 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season games in 2024.The veteran played his fewest snaps (374) since the 2020 season, with that total also representing an 81-play downturn from his 2023 Tampa Bay Buccaneers debut campaign. Gaines primarily served in a rotational role on the defensive front, and he went into the offseason on the heels of his most productive game of 2024 by recording six tackles over 26 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders. Given Gaines' minor role and the fact he'll be 29 by the time next season begins, it's likely Tampa Bay lets him explore his options when he hits the open market at the start of the new league year.
