Bucs sign veteran wide receiver to add depth to the position

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are having some health issues at a new position: wide receiver. General Manager Jason Licht is dipping into the free agent pool and signing a veteran to join the team.

The Bucs have signed wide receiver Marquez Callaway off of waivers on Wednesday. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN was the first to report the deal.

He joins Sterling Shepard, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin in a receiving corp that has been great for Baker Mayfield during the 2024 season.

Callaway played college football in Tennessee and was selected for the 2020 Senior Bowl upon entering the NFL draft. He went undrafted but signed with the New Orleans Saints. He played for them for three seasons before jumping around to other teams, including the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

He has 83 receptions, 1,069 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in his professional career.
