According to Mike Garafolo, the Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a two-year, $17 million deal for former Lions LB Alex Anzalone.
He adds Anzalone wanted to land in Tampa and turned down higher offers elsewhere.
Anzalone, 31, is a former third-round pick of the Saints out of Florida back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $3.46 million contract and made a base salary of $809,000 in 2020.
He was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in 2021 when he signed a one-year deal with the Lions. He then returned to the team on another one-year deal in 2021.
Anzalone signed a three-year, $18.75 million deal to remain in Detroit back in March of 2023 and is now set to be an unrestricted free agent.
In 2025, Anzalone appeared in 16 games for the Lions and recorded 95 tackles, four tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, one interception, and nine pass defenses.
