The longest-tenured defensive lineman in Tampa Bay Buccaneers' franchise history has signed on for another year, Scott Smith of the team's official website reports.

On Monday, the Buccaneers signed 12th-year veteran William Gholston to a new one-year contract, marking the third straight offseason that Gholston has gotten a new deal to extend his impressive career in Tampa.

Originally a fourth-round pick in the 2013 draft, Gholston has played in 169 regular season games for the Buccaneers, the sixth-most by any player in team annals and the most by a defensive lineman. He has only missed one game over the past six years and has appeared in at least 14 games in each of the last 10 seasons. Gholston is the second-longest tenured player on the Bucs' 2024 roster behind linebacker Lavonte David, who also agreed to a new deal to stay with his original NFL franchise.
