Source: Ben Bredeson, Buccaneers reach 3-year, $22M deal

Guard Ben Bredeson will remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, agreeing to a three-year, $22 million deal, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.

The Bucs signed Bredeson to a one-year deal last year worth $3 million. A fourth-round draft pick out of Michigan in 2020, Bredeson became the starter at left guard by default because Sua Opeta, whom they signed to compete with him, suffered a torn ACL in training camp.

With Bredeson, the Tampa Bay rushing attack went from a league-worst 1,509 rushing yards on the season in 2023 to 2,536 rushing yards -- fourth most in the NFL -- in 2024.
