Bucs Secondary, Special Teams Just Got Thinner

Gone again.

When Jordan Whitehead, one of the stars of the Super Bowl LV run, was brought back last year, he wasn’t the same player who played strong football when the Bucs won it all.

So, combined with Whitehead being injured and not playing well when he was on the field, the Bucs brought back another stud player from the Bucco Bruce Arians days, safety Mike Edwards.

After Edwards left the Bucs in 2023, he went to Kansas City where he won another ring. Last year, Edwards signed with Buffalo but it didn’t work out.

With the Bucs, sort of like Whitehead, Edwards got injured. He only played in five games, started two. Now, he too is gone (again).

Edwards is going back to the Midwest. He [signed with the Chiefs](https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1907832362123047057), per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. So that makes two safeties from last season the Bucs are down before the draft arrives.

Pretty fair bet the Bucs draft a safety at some point in the draft.
