Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Logan Hall. <\/p>\n
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> thought they were close to getting the best out of 6-foot-6, 283-pound defensive lineman Logan Hall<\/a> in 2024, when he registered a career-high 5.5 sacks.<\/p>\n Hall answered with a paltry 1.5 sacks in 17 games in 2025, doing little to endear himself to the Buccaneers in terms of a new contract. He apparently did enough that the NFL\u2019s best defense wants to take a chance on him after he signed a 2-year, $7 million free agent contract with the Houston Texans<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Texans are signing former Bucs DE Logan Hall, who entered the league as a second rounder, source said,\u201d NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport wrote<\/a> on his official X account on Tuesday night. \u201cHomecoming for the University of Houston product.\u201d<\/p>\n Buccaneers Wasted Early Round Draft Pick on Hall Hall ran the 40-yard dash in 4.88 seconds \u2014 more than respectable for someone his size \u2014 and NFL draft expert Lance Zierlein correctly predicted he\u2019d be selected in the 2nd round.<\/p>\n \u201cHard-working, two-year starter with projectable frame and developmental traits whose best positional fit could be in the eye of the beholder,\u201d Zierlein wrote in his pre-draft evaluation. \u201cHall played defensive tackle in college, but his playing style and physical profile are better suited for defensive end in a 3-4 alignment. He\u2019s segmented and a little gradual in his attack, but flashes violent hands and forward charge as an interior rusher. Improvement lies ahead for Hall, but he needs a scheme fit and extended runway as a rotational lineman.\u201d<\/p>\n Opportunities Aplenty to Shine in Tampa Bay<\/p>\n There was no point in the last 3 years in which the Buccaneers didn\u2019t absolutely give Hall every chance they could to succeed, not to mention there wasn\u2019t a point in the last 3 years where they haven\u2019t been absolutely desperate to add anything resembling a consistent pass rusher.<\/p>\n Hall was healthy the entire time, too. He played in 66 out of a possible 68 regular-season games over the last 4 seasons, including 4 playoff games over his first 3 seasons. He also made 39 starts, including a career-high 16 starts in 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cLogan Hall has the same versatility Denico Autry<\/a> had in being able to rush inside and out,\u201d Texans Reporter Jonathan M. Alexander wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cThis is solid get.\u201d\u201cHall had a combined 54 pressures & 8 sacks over the last 2 seasons in Tampa while being only 25 years old,\u201d Sleeper HQ\u2019s Texans Jacob<\/a> wrote on his official X account.\u201cTexans add DT\/DE #90 Logan Hall to the DL!\u201d Texans superfan Big Ounce<\/a> wrote on X. \u201cHe returns to Houston where he played college ball. He has 10 career sacks in his young career. Excited to watch him eat on that Texans DL.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.

\nThe Buccaneers spent a 2nd round pick (No. 33 overall) on Hall in the 2022 NFL<\/a> draft after a breakout season as a senior in 2021 with career highs of 47 tackles, 6.0 sacks and 13 TFL on the way to earning All-AAC honors.<\/p>\n
