Bucs Consider Moving SirVocea Dennis in 2026

New Linebacker Core Takes Shape

The Buccaneers have overhauled their linebacker group after Lavonte David’s retirement. Tampa Bay signed Alex Anzalone in free agency and added rookie Josiah Trotter with the 48th pick. Christian Rozeboom also joined the mix, giving the team a blend of experience and youth.

These additions boost the depth chart and bring fresh energy to a position that has long defined the franchise’s defense. The moves also shift the competition for starting spots. With the new bodies arriving, the coaching staff now has more options to weigh.

Why SirVocea Dennis May Be on the Move

Despite starting 16 games last season, SirVocea Dennis logged 101 tackles, including 10 for loss, and recorded three sacks and an interception. The three‑year veteran’s 122 passer rating allowed in 2025 highlights struggles against passing attacks. Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton flagged Dennis as potentially expendable because of those weaknesses and the fresh talent now on the roster.
