The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed veteran tight end Cade Otton to a three-year contract, according to sources. Otton, a fourth-round pick from the University of Washington in the 2022 NFL draft, has been a consistent presence in the Buccaneers' offense, starting 58 of 63 career games over four seasons.

At 26 years old, Otton's production has varied with the team's offensive health. His targets fluctuate based on the receiving corps' availability and the offensive line's stability, which saw multiple starters injured in 2025. Last season, he caught 59 passes for 572 yards, scoring his only touchdown in a crucial win against the Carolina Panthers.

Otton's best statistical season came in 2024, when he posted 59 receptions for 600 yards and four touchdowns. His 2023 campaign featured four touchdowns and 455 receiving yards but also included five drops and two fumbles. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers clearly value his experience and reliability as they build their offensive roster for the upcoming season.
