Bucs Sign 14 Players To Futures Contracts

With the Bucs’ 2025 season officially over, the contracts of the team’s practice squad players are officially up. And as is customary, Tampa Bay re-signed most of its practice squad players to reserve/futures contracts with the team making that announcement on Thursday, January 8.

The Bucs have re-signed 12 of those 17 players, in addition to defensive lineman Jayson Jones, who was on practice squad/injured reserve for much of the season due to a torn bicep he suffered in practice.

Tampa Bay added one new player from outside the organization, offensive tackle Marshall Foerner, who went to training camp with the Indianapolis Colts last summer. The 14 players the Bucs signed are:

S Marcus Banks
OT Marshall Foerner
WR Garrett Greene
WR Dennis Houston
DT Nash Hutmacher
LB Nick Jackson
DT Jayson Jones
OLB Mohamed Kamara
C Ben Scott
LB Benton Whitley
RB Michael Wiley
CB Damarion Williams
RB Josh Williams
RB Owen Wright

Once these players are activated from the reserve list following the Super Bowl, they will be part of the Buccaneers’ 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March. Last year, three of the players signed to reserve/futures contracts after the 2024 season ended up seeing action for the Bucs in the regular season – defensive lineman C.J. Brewer, guard Luke Haggard and wide receiver Ryan Miller – and a fourth, tight end Tanner Taula, spent the entire 2025 season on the team’s practice squad.

The practice squad players that were not re-signed include outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul, Taula and Brewer. International player Lorenz Metz was also not re-signed.
