Bucs TEs Otton, Durham, Culp to compete for roles

The Bucs took a patient approach to the tight end position this offseason, despite needing additional depth behind Otton. The former Washington State product received a $30 million contract over three years to solidify his role as the team's primary tight end. Instead of making external additions, Tampa Bay is counting on internal development from Durham and Culp. cat-cross.com

Durham brings physical presence and toughness, while Culp offers more upside as a receiving threat, particularly as a vertical element. Both players will have opportunities to carve out roles behind Otton during training camp, with the coaching staff likely prioritizing reliability and versatility.
