NFL News: Buccaneers re-sign potential key player to help QB Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers is looking to continue improving its roster for the 2025 NFL season and has started taking action to re-sign a player who missed the entire previous year due to injury. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield could have a new key weapon at his disposal.

The Buccaneers are focused on maintaining their dominance in the NFC South and defending their title from the past four seasons. Led by Mayfield, they aim to strengthen their team with strategic new additions to remain competitive in the upcoming season.

This Tuesday, the Buccaneers re-signed offensive lineman Sua Opeta to a one-year contract. The 28-year-old player had suffered a knee injury during training camp last year and missed the entire season.

Opeta’s career in the NFL

Opeta took his first steps in the league after being signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent from Weber State in 2019. With the NFC franchise, he played 38 games between 2020 and 2023, including 10 starts.
