Chase Edmonds enjoyed an unstable stretch following his Arizona departure, being traded and then cut. The veteran running back has since found some stability.

The Buccaneers are bringing back Edmonds, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets. Edmonds spent the 2023 season as a Bucs contributor, working behind starter Rachaad White. The ex-Cardinals draftee will aim to reprise that role next season.

Playing sparingly on offense, Edmonds gained 257 yards from scrimmage on 63 touches last season. This came with an injury interruption, but the Bucs reinserted the former Cardinals fourth-rounder into their RB rotation down the stretch. Edmonds played 35 playoff snaps and logged 14 touches.

The Dolphins signed Edmonds to a two-year, $12M deal in 2022 but shipped him to the Broncos as a salary filler in the Bradley Chubb trade. 

Changing coaches again in 2023, the Broncos cut Edmonds to create cap space in Sean Payton’s first offseason. Edmonds, 27, played on a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum last season.

Edmonds posted 850- and 903-yard seasons (from scrimmage) during his final two Cardinals offerings but has not been a regular back anywhere else. 

The Bucs still think enough of the Fordham alum to keep him in a new offense, as Liam Coen is stepping in for Dave Canales.
