Bucs' TE Depth Battle Looms in 2026

With Cade Otton locked in as the unquestioned starter after signing a $30 million contract over three years, Tampa Bay is looking to internal options for backup tight end roles. The Bucs didn't sign any tight ends in free agency, instead relying on the development of Payne Durham and Devin Culp. chickenroadslot.pro

Durham brings a physical presence and consistency to the position, while Culp offers more developmental upside as a receiving threat. The lack of proven production behind Otton creates a clear opportunity for both players to carve out roles in the offense.
