Impact Gholston followed up one of his best campaigns in recent years with a very quiet postseason, as his only two tackles came in a divisional-round win over the Saints. However, Gholston undeniably had a significant impact on the Buccaneers' stellar defensive effort in 2020, particularly against the run. The veteran's tackle tally was his best since 2016, while his sack total tied a career high. The 29-year-old made a virtually seamless transition to coordinator Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme two years ago, and he's currently due to enter a contract year in 2021 under a reasonable hit of $5.5 million per Spotrac; however, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for both player and organization to contemplate a cost-effective extension this offseason, considering Gholston's consistency and understated value to the defensive line.
