As we move closer to the next stage of the offseason, we want to ensure there is a complete preview of the Bucs heading into 2026. So to achieve that, we will be doing free agent previews for notable players the team will have on the market in the coming weeks.
In this piece, we will be previewing edge rusher Haason Reddick.
The Bucs’ free agency will be both interesting and pivotal to their success in 2026. As Jason Licht has shown, he can be aggressive, but it is not like him to spend a lot in free agency. However, he does tend to like to retain Tampa Bay talent that he has seen develop properly, or arrive and make a splash.
So with the table set, here is a free agent preview.

Player Summary
Haason Reddick really had a chance to prove himself in 2025 with the Bucs, but injuries had other ideas. He showed some flashes early on with creating pressures, while also helping out Yaya Diaby opposite him. But like we said, other plans rolled out, and he never gained much ground when the team needed him down the stretch. As a result, the Reddick experiment seems to be done in Tampa Bay, though he is likely to get a chance elsewhere.
