CBS: Bradley Chubb To Bucs Is A Better Version Of Haason Reddick
February 18th, 2026
Better gamble than Haason Reddick?
Same move; better chance of success.
The sentence above sort of sums up how Jared Dubin of CBS feels about the Bucs making a run at signing ex-Dolphins edge rusher Bradley Chubb.
The Dolphins announced Chubb would be one of several players slashed for to add salary cap room and begin a possible rebuild.
Dubin thinks Chubb is sort of the same player Haason Reddick was. The Bucs signed Reddick a year ago in free agency but it appears the downslide to his career began before the Bucs signed him.
Chubb has more gas in the tank than Reddick did, or does, per Dubin.
The Bucs tried to juice up their pass rush last offseason by adding Haason Reddick. It didn’t work out. They could take a similar flier on Chubb, who has at least been productive more recently than Reddick, who was coming off a lost season in New York and Philadelphia when Tampa signed him last year.
Joe had no problem with the Reddick signing and still doesn’t. To be fair, Reddick has a significantly better body of work than Chubb. But it is clear now that Reddick has seen better days.
In his first season after knee surgery last year, Chubb started all 17 Dolphins games and had 8.5 sacks. That’s more sacks than any Bucs player has had since Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett had 10 in 2021.
