US EditionBuccaneers sign linebacker Christian Rozeboom, adding another starter on defense
Rozeboom, who led the Panthers with 122 tackles last season, joins the Buccaneers on a one-year deal to strengthen linebacker depth amid uncertainty over Lavonte David’s future.
- On Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free agent linebacker Christian Rozeboom, agents Chris Gittings and Jeremiah Sirles confirmed to NFL Network. The move keeps Rozeboom in the NFC South after his season with the Carolina Panthers.
- The 29-year-old is coming off his best NFL season, starting 15 games for Carolina with 122 tackles. Undrafted out of South Dakota State, Rozeboom spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams before joining the Panthers.
- Tampa Bay has bolstered its defense this offseason, signing linebacker Alex Anzalone during the first week of free agency and defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson earlier this month. Rozeboom becomes the second Panthers defensive player to join the Buccaneers.
- Veteran Lavonte David is weighing his future with Tampa Bay, deciding between retirement or returning for a 15th season. His decision will shape the team's linebacker depth chart moving forward.
- While Rozeboom proved solid as a run stopper, he ranked in the lower tier for pass defenders last season. Tampa Bay expects his veteran presence to provide necessary starting depth alongside Anzalone.
