Jamel Dean is currently in the good graces of Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans. His pick-six late in the first half of the team's Week 3 win over the New York Jets ultimately proved massive in a surprisingly tight tilt. However, he and the Krewe haven't always seen eye to eye, to say the least, hence the arrival of third-round rookie Jacob Parrish.
Dean and the Buccaneers agreed to restructure the four-year, $52 million contract he signed in 2023 to make him an unrestricted free agent following this season. He reportedly took a "significant pay cut" as a result, signaling that both sides are ready to move on.
