The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could potentially trade linebacker SirVocea Dennis ahead of the 2026 season. This comes after the team reshaped its linebacker roster by signing Alex Anzalone and Christian Rozeboom and drafting Josiah Trotter, creating competition for Dennis. The fifth-round pick from 2023 started 16 games last season but struggled with missed tackles and coverage issues. Although he has experience with 33 games played, his standing is uncertain as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. Dennis now faces a competitive training camp while the team evaluates their options.
