The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't make many moves this offseason to strengthen the roster, but one move they did make was signing EDGE Haason Reddick.
Coming off a season that was ruined by contract talks with the New York Jets, Reddick comes to the NFC South looking to re-establish himself as one of the premier pass rushers in football.
The Buccaneers' defensive front needed help, and Jason Licht brought Reddick to Tampa Bay. Now, there is more juice defensively...but that can only happen if Haason settles into his new surroundings.
And according to head coach Todd Bowles, Reddick has been nothing short of superb this offseason.
"I love where he's at right now," Bowles said. "He's very good in the scheme. He's very good understanding things and helping guys out. He's one of our leaders early on already. Love the position he's in mentally and physically and hopefully he just looks to make more plays when the season starts."
With the Buccaneers' offense being one of the best in football, the defense has to try and keep up, and now that Reddick is in the ranks, the pass rush, which needed help, now looks a little more formidable.
Yes, it is early, but let's not forget Reddick is also playing for a new contract in 2025, whether that be with the Buccaneers or another team, and it is clear he's leaving no stone unturned in an attempt to have a bounce-back season for the ages.
Coming into a new environment can be tricky, but Reddick has hit the ground running, and if he can show that the dominating player he once was a couple of years ago is still in there, he might just be the signing of the offseason.
