Bucs “Don’t Care” About Haason Reddick Absence
June 7th, 2025
Newcomer Bucs edge rusher Haason Reddick.
So how do Bucs officials really feel about expensive free agent edge rusher preferring to skip voluntary spring practices in favor of training on his own, presumably out of the Florida heat?
Joe can’t be 100 percent sure. Why? Because no matter what the team might say about Reddick’s absence being meaningless, Joe is sure the team would be trumpeting Reddick’s dedication and focus if he were on the fields of One Buc Palace grinding with Calijah Kancey and fellow edge rusher YaYa Diaby — and mentoring rookie edge rusher David Walker.
That written, one man is certain the Bucs absolutely think Reddick passing on training with teammates is a non-issue.
That’s Prickly Pete Prisco of CBS Sports.
Prisco patrolled the fields on One Buc Palace on Tuesday and talked to Baker Mayfield and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht.
“They don’t care if he’s there. I mean, in talking to people in the organization, they don’t care one bit,” Prisco said of Reddick to his CBS Sports HQ audience. “They know he’s working out. He’s been around a little bit, he just hasn’t taken part in the OTA days.”
Prisco went on to rant about the importance of Reddick to the defense and how Diaby struggled adjusting to steady double teams last season.
Whatever Prisco did see and hear during his trip to Tampa didn’t deflate his Bucs-loving balloon. “I think they’re going to go 12-5 and win the division again.”
