Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with the Buccaneers in May of 2023.
Taking part in OTAs
Watts (knee) has been participating in the Buccaneers' offseason training activities.
ANALYSIS
Watts landed on IR due to a knee injury ahead of Week 6 last season, and though he was designated to return in late November, he was never activated. The third-year linebacker is seemingly back to full health given his participation in OTAs and will have a chance to compete for a spot on the Bucs' 53-man roster. Watts played almost exclusively on special teams when healthy last season, and he'd likely do the same in 2025 if he makes the team.
