The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could look into signing free-agent safety Tony Jefferson, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic.

Jefferson was released by the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, and from 2013 through 2016, he played under Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians while Arians was coaching the Arizona Cardinals, so there is some familiarity between the two sides.

The 28-year-old was limited to just five games this past season due to a torn ACL he suffered in October. During the time he was on the field, he logged 21 tackles and three passes defended.

Jefferson, who played his collegiate football at the University of Oklahoma, went undrafted in 2013 but eventually signed with the Cardinals as a free agent.

He appeared in every contest during his rookie campaign but had a rather limited role, totaling 24 tackles and a fumble recovery.

The following year, Jefferson began to receiver more extension playing time in Arizona, starting eight of the 16 games he played and registering 79 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. He posted similar numbers in 2015, tallying 78 tackles, a couple of sacks, three forced fumbles, five passes defended and a defensive touchdown, and during his final season with the Cardinals in 2016, Jefferson recorded 96 tackles, a pair of sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and five passes defended.

The Chula Vista, Ca. native proceeded to link up with the Ravens that ensuing offseason and had a solid first year in Baltimore, finishing with 79 tackles, 2.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. Jefferson put up the same type of numbers in 2018.

Tampa Bay went 7-9 in 2019. The Bucs have not made the playoffs since the 2007-08 campaign, representing the longest active playoff drought in the NFC.
