Free Agency 2025: Robert Hainsey and the Buccaneers’ Future.TS.THANHDUNG

Robert Hainsey, a third-round pick in 2021, has evolved from a starting center to a reliable reserve for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His journey accelerated after Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen’s injury in 2022, forcing Hainsey into a starting role for two seasons. In 2024, he transitioned back to a backup position following the draft of Graham Barton but continued to perform well when called upon. Hainsey is now set to enter free agency, facing the prospect of either re-signing with the Buccaneers or exploring opportunities with other teams needing offensive line support.

By the Numbers

  • Hainsey played in all 17 games during the 2024 season, logging 95 offensive snaps and 88 special team snaps.
  • He was instrumental in a Week Six game against New Orleans, contributing to a franchise record of 594 total yards and 277 rushing yards.

State of Play

  • Hainsey is one of 22 Buccaneers players set to become unrestricted free agents in March.
  • He must decide between rejoining a close-knit Buccaneers offensive line or testing the free agency waters for starting opportunities elsewhere.

What’s Next

As free agency approaches, Hainsey’s future remains uncertain. There could be significant interest from teams needing depth in O-line positions, influencing his decision. The Buccaneers will also determine if they want to retain him, depending on their own roster moves leading up to March.

Bottom Line

Robert Hainsey’s choice to either stay in Tampa or pursue opportunities elsewhere will significantly impact both his career trajectory and the Buccaneers’ offensive line depth in the upcoming season. His performance has proven he can be a reliable contributor, whether as a starter or backup.
