The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering a contract extension for edge rusher Yaya Diaby as he continues to emerge as a key player on their defensive line. Diaby, selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has developed from a rotational option to the team's top edge defender. His upcoming performance, especially with new talent Rueben Bain joining the roster, may influence the terms of potential negotiations. An extension could range from four years and $75-80 million, with significant guarantees linked to sack production. The Buccaneers are motivated to secure Diaby sooner to avoid a steep price increase in the future.
