The Buccaneers haven’t needed Da’Quan Bowers all offseason.
But now that camp’s about to start, they realized some depth at defensive end might not be bad to have.
The Bucs announced they had re-signed the free agent, who had sat on the market untouched all offseason.
Bowers, who might have been a top-10 pick before a knee injury in college derailed his career, was ultimately picked in the second round by the Bucs.
He’s responded with 7.0 sacks in four seasons, but could still contribute, as he’s versatile enough to play inside as well. But the fact they brought him back also speaks to their depth chart at the position, where Jacquies Smith and George Johnson are the starters.
