Gholston re-signed with the Buccaneers on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gholston will remain in Tampa Bay in 2024 for what will be his 12th season in the league. The 32-year-old played a career-low 234 snaps on defense last season, recording zero sacks for the second consecutive year, although he did log his first career interception. He'll likely remain a depth option on the edge for the Buccaneers in 2024.

EDGE Analysis
Gholston was ruled out for Week 15 against the Packers, his first missed game since 2017. He was able to participate in limited fashion in all three practices this week and could be good to go Sunday. He has 15 tackles (eight solo) and one interception over 13 games this season as the backup defensive end behind Logan Hall and Calijah Kancey.

Gholston (knee) is out for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gholston will miss his first game since 2017 as he nurses a knee injury he sustained in Week 14 at Atlanta. In his place, Patrick O'Connor could see an uptick in snaps on the defensive line.

Gholston recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The reliable veteran got warmed up for his 11th regular season with his productive 11-snap cameo against Baltimore. The 2013 fourth-round pick failed to record a sack for the first time since 2017 last season, but his 49 tackles tied for the second-highest total of his career. Gholston projects to once again play a key rotational role on the defensive front this season, although he could officially slot into a backup role behind Logan Hall at right defensive end in the team's 3-4 alignment.

The Bucs re-signed Gholston to a one-year contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A fourth-round pick by the Bucs in the 2013 Draft, 2023 will mark Gholston's 11th with the franchise. He appeared in all 17 games last season, making nine starts, but failed to record a sack for just the second time in his career. Gholston played 43 percent of the snaps in 2022 and will fill a rotational role along the defensive line, assuming he makes the team.

Gholston agreed to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old will return for a 10th season in Tampa Bay after recording 36 tackles (21 solo) and 4.5 sacks in 17 games last season. Gholston hasn't missed a game since 2017 and should remain a key piece of the Bucs' defensive front next season.

Gholston recorded three tackles (two solo), including 2.5 sacks, and was credited with three total quarterback hits during the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers in Week 16.
EDGE Analysis
Gholston blasted through his previous career high of three sacks in remarkable fashion, posting the first multi-sack effort of his career. The veteran defensive lineman also has a pair of six-stop tallies in the last four games, rendering him an unlikely late-season IDP asset.

Gholston totaled six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran usually generates modest tackle totals, but Gholston now has accrued six stops in two of his last three contests. The 30-year-old is still off the radar in the overwhelming majority of IDP formats, however, as he usually offers minimal production outside of a handful of stops per contest.
