NFL free agency is done for the most part, as the dust bowl came and went quickly, despite some notable names remaining unsigned. At this point, most veterans will likely be waiting to sign till after the NFL Draft, or towards the end of training camp. Teams also add new names to the pool post-June 1st, but the market is pretty much dry for the foreseeable future.
With the dust being settled, it allows for some reflection on things, and that is where PFF's Zoltan Buday comes into the fold. He recently wrote up his favorite and least favorite moves by each team in free agency. For the Bucs, as it relates to his least favorite move, he named them signing defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson.
He writes, "Robinson has been past his prime for a couple of seasons, and a Panthers front office that needed all the help it could get on defense released him. Although his 2025 was better than his previous two seasons, Robinson still ranked just 45th among interior defenders with a 63.7 PFF overall grade. At this stage of his career, he is probably a situational role player. Yet, his contract suggests the Buccaneers think otherwise."
Robinson will not be tasked with a tall order of business to handle for the Bucs in 2026. He will likely be a situational player with a focus on stopping the running game more than anything, with the occasional every-down usage mixed. So while the move could be seen as not as good as others, it is one that will help the Bucs in a big area in 2026.
