Like his sidekick Carlton Davis last year, Jamel Dean waited for the opening of the market to finally extend with the Buccaneers. According to ESPN, the cornerback has signed a new lease with the Florida franchise for 4 seasons and an amount of 52 million dollars.
His return allows the team to retain its defensive backbone, the team’s main safe bet after the retirement of Tom Brady.
Drafted in the 3rd round in 2019, Jamel Dean has established himself as an important piece in the defensive backfield of Tampa Bay, where he notably won Super Bowl LV. In four seasons, he participated in 57 games, compiled 193 tackles and 7 interceptions.
