The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense had to give itself a new look over the course of the 2024 season. When they lost Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, we weren't sure what the offense would look like, but they figured it out.
Cade Otton would emerge from the shadows of this offense and now joins after week 12.
With his lone catch against the Giants, Otton became only the fifth Tampa Bay Buccaneer to catch 50 or more passes in a season for the team. He is the first tight end to do that since Rob Gronkowski did it for them in 2021, when he caught 55 passes.
Otton is on pace for 77 catches, which would tie the team record for a tight end in a season. Kellen Winslow Jr. scored 77 goals for the team in 2009.
Otton has apparently prepared himself to be part of the offensive for the long term. Regardless of Evans' return, the offense and Liam Coen will find a way to include him.
