The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a critical addition to their offensive line in free agency, landing former Baltimore center Ryan Jensen last week. Now they've also made sure one of their own didn't get away via that same free agent market.
On Friday, the Buccaneers re-signed versatile and experienced lineman Evan Smith, who had become an unrestricted free agent on March 14, two a new two-year deal. Smith has opened 28 games for Tampa Bay over the last four seasons and has capably manned all three interior-line spots. In fact, in 2017 alone Smith started at least one game each at center, right guard and left guard.
