Signed a two-year, $17 million contract with the Buccaneers in March of 2026.
Agrees to two-year deal with Bucs
Anzalone (concussion) agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Anzalone's deal can be made official when the new league year begins Wednesday. He has recovered from a concussion that sidelined him down the stretch in 2025. The 31-year-old linebacker had 95 tackles in 16 games for the Lions prior to the injury in 2025, and he notched 490 tackles across five regular seasons in Detroit after posting only 123 tackles in his first four NFL regular seasons with the Saints.

Anzalone suffered a broken forearm Week 11 of the 2024 campaign, and as a result, the linebacker was limited to 63 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five pass defenses over 10 regular-season games, all of which represented the lowest totals of Anzalone's four-year tenure with Detroit. He shifted from middle linebacker to the weak side last season, so he may not challenge the 127 tackles per season he averaged between 2022 and 2023, but Anzalone should remain a productive asset in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excited about Bowles' scheme
Anzalone, who signed a two-year deal in free agency with the Buccaneers in March, is expected to have more pass-rushing opportunities in head coach Todd Bowles' defensive scheme, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran linebacker has recorded at least 2.0 sacks in three of his first nine seasons, and he's been credited with 40 quarterback hits overall across 111 career regular-season games. In addition to continuing to pile up tackle and defensed-pass numbers out of his projected starting inside linebacker role, Anzalone is also projected to perhaps see even more pass-rushing opportunities than in past stops thanks to Bowles' exotic blitz schemes. "I am definitely going to have some free runs at the quarterback and get some stats and forced fumbles and things of that nature," said Anzalone.
