Bucs Exercised Option On P Riley Dixon’s Contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers exercised the option on P Riley Dixon‘s contract, tying him to the team through the 2026 season, according to Adam Schefter.

Dixon, 31, is a former seventh-round pick of the Broncos back in 2016. The Broncos traded him to the Giants during the 2018 offseason for a conditional seventh-round pick. 

Dixon was in the final year of his four-year, $2.42 million contract when he agreed to a three-year extension with the Giants in 2019. 

The Giants opted to restructure Dixon’s deal but he was then waived by the team in 2022. He caught on with the Rams on a one-year deal before joining the Broncos in 2023. 

From there, he signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Bucs in 2025.

In 2025, Dixon appeared in all 17 games for the Bucs and averaged 44.7 yards per punt on 63 attempts.
