Ryan Neal - Solid campaign in '23 Neal compiled 76 tackles (52 solo) across 15 regular-season games in 2023, adding three tackles (one solo) in two postseason games.
Impact The veteran enjoyed a solid statistical Bucs debut campaign, logging the second-most regular-season snaps from scrimmage of his career (563) and setting a career high in tackles. However, he failed to force any turnovers and also surrendered an 87.5 percent completion rate, four touchdowns and 19.9 yards per attempt on the 16 passes that went his way in primary coverage. Neal played on a one-year deal in 2023, and there's a chance the Buccaneers opt to go younger at strong safety next season.

Payne Durham - Solid with limited opportunities Durham was active for 13 regular-season games during the 2023 season, securing five of seven targets for 58 yards. He added an 18-yard reception on his only target over two postsea...
Impact The rookie fifth-round pick was a clear No. 2 pass-catching option at tight end behind Cade Otton, who was healthy for all 17 regular-season games and both postseason contests. However, Durham flashed some field-stretch ability with his sparse opportunities, recording double-digit yardage on three catches when factoring in his one postseason grab. Otton heads into the offseason with a clear grasp on the top job at the position, but Durham could potentially earn his way onto the field more often in 2024 while working in a new offense, and potentially, with a new quarterback.

Sean Tucker - Beats odds as UDFA Tucker was active for 11 regular-season games in the 2023 season, rushing 15 times for 23 yards and bringing in both his targets for nine yards.
Impact Tucker parlayed an impressive college career at Syracuse that he capped off with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons into a training camp invite, and he then earned his way onto the 53-man roster with an impressive summer showing. However, Tucker was unsurprisingly used sparingly once the regular season began, as three-down lead back Rachaad White enjoyed good health throughout the campaign. Tucker recorded all his touches from scrimmage in the first three weeks of the season while Chase Edmonds was on IR with a knee injury, and he logged just one Week 10 snap on offense the rest of the season. Tucker was a healthy scratch from Week 15 through the Buccaneers' two-game postseason, but as he enters the second season of his three-year rookie deal in 2024, he should have a chance to compete for the No. 2 role with Edmonds a pending free agent that may not be brought back.

Raleigh Webb - Inks new deal Webb signed a reserve/future contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Webb has bounced around a bit since going undrafted out of The Citadel in 2022. The 26-year-old has 12 games of NFL experience between the Ravens and Patriots but ultimately has only seen one offensive snap. He'll now have the opportunity to earn a large role next season with Tampa Bay.
