Buccaneers consider signing free-agent tight end Darren Waller

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reportedly considering adding free-agent tight end Darren Waller, who had a successful season with the Miami Dolphins in 2025 after coming out of retirement. Waller, who previously played for the Raiders and Giants, excelled last season with 24 receptions for 283 yards and 6 touchdowns in just 9 games. The Buccaneers have maintained depth at tight end with Cade Otton but may look to enhance their roster with Waller, who has a history of high performance, including back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2020. The team drafted tight end Bauer Sharp in 2026, raising questions about their tight end strategy going forward.
