Buccaneers Re-Sign Ben Bredeson to 3-Year, $22 Million Contract

The 27-year-old guard played a pivotal role in Tampa Bay's offensive line resurgence during the 2024 season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have secured starting left guard Ben Bredeson on a three-year deal worth $22 million, with $12.5 million guaranteed.
Bredeson started all 17 games in the 2024 season, helping the Buccaneers improve their rushing offense from last in the NFL in 2023 to fourth in 2024.
Originally signed on a one-year, $3 million deal in 2024, Bredeson became the starter after Sua Opeta suffered a preseason ACL injury.
Bredeson posted strong metrics in 2024, including a 70.5% run block win rate (19th among guards) and a 91.6% pass block win rate (17th among guards).
The Buccaneers prioritized Bredeson's return to maintain stability on their offensive line, which was instrumental in their playoff berth last season.
