The 2026 Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ UDFA tracker is now underway following the close of the Draft, and Tampa Bay continues to bolster its roster with young talent looking to earn a spot in the NFL. After a solid draft process, the franchise now enters a crucial phase: finding hidden gems among the undrafted players.
With the Draft now over, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are turning their attention to the undrafted free agent market, a field where they have historically found useful pieces to complete the roster.
A Balanced 2026 Draft Class
Before diving into the UDFA, it’s important to understand the context. General manager Jason Licht closed out his 13th Draft class by focusing heavily on defense and adding some interesting pieces to the offense.
The class includes names such as:
- Reuben Bain Jr. (EDGE, Miami)
- Josiah Trotter (LB, Missouri)
- Ted Hurst (WR, Georgia State)
- Keionte Scott (DB, Miami)
- DeMonte Capehart (DT, Clemson)
- Billy Schrauth (G, Notre Dame)
- Bauer Sharp (TE, LSU)
The team addressed key needs early on, especially with Bain and Trotter, before bolstering the receiving corps and adding depth at both ends of the court. A solid foundation that is now further enhanced by the undeclared free agents.

Key aspects of the UDFA process in Tampa Bay
The UDFA market is more than just a supplement. Often, these players end up being key pieces on competitive teams. Tampa Bay will be looking for players with the following profiles:
- Versatility in specialized equipment
- Medium-term development
- Ability to compete from the training camp
With a roster already strengthened after the Draft, the goal is clear: to find hidden talent that will help reclaim the NFC South throne.
One more step towards competing in the NFC South
The rebuilding process doesn’t end with the Draft. The arrival of these players increases internal competition and raises the level of the roster. If any of them manage to stand out, they could become one of the surprises of the summer.
Tampa Bay has its foundation. Now the real battle for the final roster spots begins.
