NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
The Bucs re-signed Otton to a 3-year deal this offseason for middle-of-the-road money and declined to bring in serious competition beyond Day 3 pick Bauer Sharp, indicating confidence in him as TE1. Otton has been a generally reliable pass catcher and run blocker who improved slowly over 4 years, though fans complain about ball security issues. The key question is whether new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson will actually use him; Robinson deployed Kyle Pitts to great effect in Atlanta (88 catches, 928 yards in 2025), but Otton's usage may be limited given the Bucs' deeper receiving arsenal. However, Otton's size (6-5, 247 pounds) could lead to increased red zone action given Tampa's loss of Evans.NegativeRoleJul 20, 2026
The Bucs re-signed Otton to a 3-year deal this offseason for middle-of-the-road money and declined to bring in any serious competition to his target share beyond Day 3 pick Bauer Sharp. Otton has been a generally reliable pass catcher and run blocker who has improved slowly but surely over nearly 4 years, though fans have complaints about him losing a handle on the ball at inopportune times. The key question is whether new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson will really use him. Robinson deployed Kyle Pitts to great effect in Atlanta, but Pitts' 2025 production (88 catches, 928 yards) was partly a product of the Falcons being barren at receiver. With the Bucs having a stronger passing arsenal, Otton might stay down in the pecking order, though his size (6-5, 247 pounds) could lead to more red zone action in a position group now lacking Evans.
