The NFL free agency has been packed with big signings and interesting decisions. However, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they've been able to maintain their Super Bowl-winning roster this offseason. Having brought back Chris Godwin, Shaquil Barrett, and Lavonte David, the front office has secured most of their roster for next year. Another name can be added to that list, after defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh, agreed to a one-year deal to re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Tom Pelissero.
Five-time Pro Bowl DT Ndamukong Suh is closing in with the #Bucs on a one-year deal worth $9 million fully guaranteed plus incentives, per source.
Entering Year 12, Suh has made an impact on and off the field in Tampa. Another big piece of the title team back to go for two.

It's been an impressive offseason for this Buccaneers team, as they aim to win a second consecutive Super Bowl with Tom Brady under center. They're the team to beat in the NFL, and after bringing Suh back, this defense remains at the top of the league. Making them a potential favorite to win it all again.
Suh has been one of the best defensive tackles in the league throughout his career. He started playing with the Detroit Lions after being drafted second overall in the 2010 NFL draft. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award and has dominated ever since.
Now in the latter portion of his career, Suh isn't the same type of player he used to be. However, his presence on the interior line of the Buccaneers is still a force to be reckoned with. He's one of, if not, the best run-stopping tackle in the NFL.
Last season, Suh finished with 44 total tackles, 19 quarterback hits, six sacks, and one forced fumble. The Buccaneers' defense was elite at stopping the run, and they should be able to continue that level of play now that Suh is officially returning next year.
