Bucs consider Patrick Queen as potential linebacker addition

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reportedly exploring options to bolster their linebacker corps after the retirement of Lavonte David. In 2026, the Bucs have added Alex Anzalone and Jeremiah Trotter but may need further reinforcement, particularly if Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen becomes available. Queen, a 26-year-old two-time Pro Bowler, has significant starting experience and could provide valuable depth. Danny Smith, the Bucs' new special teams coordinator, previously worked with Queen in Pittsburgh, potentially adding insight into his fit with the team. A low-cost deal could align with the Bucs' Super Bowl aspirations.
