From the article

Early in the offseason, the Bucs chose not to pick up Sean Tucker's RFA tender for $3.5 million. They eventually backtracked on that decision and extended him the tender, though it seemed like they regretted that move by the time the preseason rolled around. Tucker split reps with 2025 UDFA Josh Williams during the preseason.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Tucker takes pay cut; Bucs' moves suggest limited offensive role ahead.

Bucs strong-armed Tucker into pay cut after initially declining his $3.5M RFA tender, then backtracking; new deal worth $2.5M with incentives. Split reps with 2024 UDFA Josh Williams during preseason; made roster only after agreeing to pay cut. This doesn't signal team expects him to be meaningful part of offense. Fantasy managers drafting Tucker as small part of backfield-by-committee, especially at goal line, should reconsider given recent moves.
