REPORT: Buccaneers Agree To A Three-Year Contract Extension With CB Zyon McCollum
Zyon McCollum earned $35.4 million guaranteed in his new three-year deal as the Buccaneers secure their top young cornerback after his breakout 2024 season.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract extension with cornerback Zyon McCollum on September 5, 2025, in Tampa Bay.
- McCollum earned the extension after becoming a full-time starter in 2024 and showing improvement amid a highly competitive defensive backs room.
- He started all 17 games in 2024, led the team with 17 passes deflected, had 2 interceptions, and gave up only 17 receptions for 286 yards over 329 coverage snaps.
- The extension includes $35.4 million guaranteed, locking McCollum through 2028 and preventing him from entering unrestricted free agency in March.
- This deal secures continuity for the Buccaneers' secondary but continues a recent pattern of significant financial commitments at the cornerback position.
