The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed free agent running back Chase Edmonds to a one-year contract worth the veteran minimum of $1.08 million. The signing comes on the heels of the Bucs officially releasing Leonard Fournette. The Bucs did show interest in former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, but his price tag might have been too high for the Bucs to handle.

Edmonds will receive a $152,500 signing bonus and provides experienced depth behind second year running back Rachaad White, and fourth year running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn. 2023 will be Edmonds sixth year in the NFL, and the Bucs will be the fourth team he has played on. Edmonds has played in 70 games in his career, and has 1,796 yards rushing, and 1,078 yards receiving.

The Buccaneers may look to add another running back in the later rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft or bring in an undrafted free agent for training camp.

Regardless of which path they choose, the Bucs have gotten younger, and less expensive, during this year’s free agency period.
