With free agency and the draft looming, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may soon be adding pieces to their defensive line in pursuit of a more productive pass rush in 2018. First though, they have found the man who will mold that group into a strong unit, agreeing to terms with former Arizona Cardinals assistant Brentson Buckner to be their new defensive line coach.
Buckner is the only new face on the Buccaneers' 2018 staff under Dirk Koetter, replacing Jay Hayes, who held the position the previous three years. Tampa Bay did re-assign some responsibilities on the offensive side, promoting Skyler Fulton to wide receivers coach so that Todd Monken could focus solely on his offensive coordinator duties.
