The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue re-signing their own.

After bringing back familiar names like Kyle Trask, Chris Godwin, Anthony Nelson and Ben Bredeson, general manager Jason Licht announced on X on Friday that the team was also bringing back wideout Sterling Shepard.

Licht and his staff have been busy in the first week of free agency.

The fact that Licht tagged @OU_Football in his announcement shows the close connection Shepard has with Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield as the two were college teammates with the Sooners.

Last season, Shepard began the season on the Bucs’ practice squad but quickly worked his way up to the active roster in Week 5. Just two weeks later, Godwin suffered his season-ending injury, and Shepard’s role expanded even more.

The Giants’ second-round pick in 2016 caught 32 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown and added another 69 yards on eight carries on the ground.

Shepard played 90 games across eight seasons in New York with 74 starts, catching 404 passes for 4,429 yards and 24 scores while averaging almost 63 catches per year over the first five seasons before injuries started catching up with him.
