Buccaneers' William Gholston: Nabs first sack of season
Gholston posted three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recorded an additional quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The veteran defensive lineman recorded one of five sacks on rookie Spencer Rattler in his first NFL start. Gholston logged under 20 defensive snaps for the third straight game, however, and given he's never been known for his pass-rushing prowess, the 12-year veteran is far from a reliable IDP option at this stage of his career.

Buccaneers' William Gholston: Back with Tampa
Gholston re-signed with the Buccaneers on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Gholston will remain in Tampa Bay in 2024 for what will be his 12th season in the league. The 32-year-old played a career-low 234 snaps on defense last season, recording zero sacks for the second consecutive year, although he did log his first career interception. He'll likely remain a depth option on the edge for the Buccaneers in 2024.

Buccaneers' William Gholston: Tunes up for regular season
Gholston recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
The reliable veteran got warmed up for his 11th regular season with his productive 11-snap cameo against Baltimore. The 2013 fourth-round pick failed to record a sack for the first time since 2017 last season, but his 49 tackles tied for the second-highest total of his career. Gholston projects to once again play a key rotational role on the defensive front this season, although he could officially slot into a backup role behind Logan Hall at right defensive end in the team's 3-4 alignment.

Buccaneers' William Gholston: Re-ups with Tampa Bay
The Bucs re-signed Gholston to a one-year contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
A fourth-round pick by the Bucs in the 2013 Draft, 2023 will mark Gholston's 11th season with the franchise. He appeared in all 17 games last season, making nine starts, but he failed to record a sack for just the second time in his career. Gholston played 43 percent of the snaps in 2022 and will fill a rotational role along the defensive line in 2023, assuming he makes the team.
