Though the NFL<\/a> is transitioning toward the 2026 NFL Draft, teams remain active in free agency. General managers continue working to round out their rosters and maintain draft flexibility.<\/p>\n

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost several free agents this year and continue addressing needs across the roster.<\/p>\n

That effort includes the offensive line. The Buccaneers have identified a target and will bring him in, hoping to reach a contract agreement.<\/p>\n

Reports<\/a> indicate Tampa Bay will host Kenyon Green on Sunday for a visit. The former first-round offensive guard is seeking a new home and a fresh start.<\/p>\n

The Houston Texans selected Green in 2022 after he earned All-American honors at Mississippi State. He struggled to find consistency in Houston before the team traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

After the Eagles waived him last year, he spent the 2025 season on the Baltimore Ravens\u2019 practice squad. A player like Green could benefit from an opportunity to compete for a starting role.<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers can offer that opportunity. Their offensive line needs retooling after the team missed the playoffs last year.<\/p>\n

The organization has invested heavily in Baker Mayfield, making his protection a top priority. If Green returns to his All-American form, the Buccaneers could benefit significantly.<\/p>\n

First, however, Green and the Buccaneers must agree to terms during his Sunday visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though the NFL is transitioning toward the 2026 NFL Draft, teams remain active in free agency.
