Gm jason licht confirmed that the team would re-sign qb john wolford.
According to espn’s jenna laine and si.com’s curtis allen, the buccaneers are also re-signing o-lineman justin skule and signing ex-eagles swingman sua opeta.
Both the o-linemen will be signed to one-year contracts, with laine revealing that wolford will also join the team on a one-year contract.
Kyle trask’s rookie contract is only for one season, with wolford, 28, returning to replace him as the team’s third-string quarterback.
Following matthew stafford’s thumb injury last year, the rams and ex-rams oc kevin o’connell expressed interest in returning wolford to los angeles, as did they.
Wolford stayed in tampa bay, but the buccaneers promoted him to the active roster.
The 2024 campaign will be Wolford’s sixth NFL season. The former Alliance of American Football arm may be an even better with the Bucs in 2024, with ex-Rams OC Liam Coen stepping in as the play-caller.
The Bucs already signed Ben Bredeson, a 16-game Giants starter last season. Opeta spent the past four seasons with the Eagles and started six games in 2023. The former UDFA has experience at both guard and tackle, giving him an onramp to a swing role. The Bucs, however, have not re-signed Matt Feiler; Aaron Stinnie, a longtime backup who started 11 games last season, has committed to the Giants. Skule played in 17 games as a backup last season.
