Bucs TE Depth Battle in 2026

The Buccaneers are focusing on internal development at tight end, with Payne Durham and Devin Culp competing for backup roles behind starter Cade Otton.

Despite needing depth behind Otton, who signed a $30 million contract, Tampa Bay waited until their final draft pick to address the position and avoided free agency.

Durham brings physical presence and toughness, while Culp offers developmental upside as a receiving threat. Both will have opportunities to carve out roles behind the starter. cricket-info.homes
