Bucs corner Dee Delaney expected to return

One of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; special teams players is set to return in 2023.

Cornerback Dee Delaney, who led the Bucs in special teams snaps in 2022, is expected to return to the team in 2023 as an exclusive rights free agent as reported by Greg Auman of FOX Sports.

Delaney has been with multiple teams since entering the league in 2018, but he’s been with Tampa Bay since 2021. The Bucs like to use him as a special teams player, but recent cornerback injuries over the last few years have seen him take more snaps than perhaps intended at the corner position. He still has value in knowing Todd Bowles’s system, though and he could get more snaps with potential departures as cornerback like Sean Murphy-Bunting.
