ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Buccaneers exercised the option on P Riley Dixon’s contract.

04 March 2026

By exercising Dixon’s option, the Bucs prevent him from hitting free agency and bring him back for 2026. He can earn up to $3 million this upcoming season. Dixon averaged 44.7 yards per punt in 2025 and had a 6.3-percent touchback rate. The 32-year-old will kick for the Bucs again as he enters his eleventh season in the NFL.
