Recently released Colts' linebacker lands with new team

[ASFN Admin]

Linebacker John Bullock, who was recently released by the Indianapolis Colts, has landed with a new -- old -- team.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed Bullock off waivers following his release by the Colts.

Bullock was claimed by the Colts in early January after Tampa Bay had released him at that time.

Bullock went undrafted in 2025 out of Nebraska and signed with the Bucs as a UDFA. He appeared in two games last season defensively, playing six snaps, according to PFF.

Bullock was, however, a core special teams contributor, playing 252 snaps across four different phases.

GM Chris Ballard reshaped the linebacker room during the NFL draft, selecting CJ Allen and Bryce Boettcher, who will join Akeem Davis-Gaither -- a free agent addition -- Jaylon Carlies, and Austin Ajiake.

Ballard also signed West Weeks and Tahj Chambers in undrafted free agency, further adding to the depth of the linebacker unit.
