The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have secured cornerback Zyon McCollum’s stay with a three-year, $48 million contract extension. This was reported by agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus, along with Robert Bailey.<\/p>\n
The agreement, which includes $35.4 million guaranteed, secures McCollum in Tampa Bay through the 2028 season.<\/p>\n
This renovation is in addition to that of right tackle Luke Goedeke, who signed a four-year, $90 million deal on Tuesday. With these two extensions, the Buccaneers achieve important goals before the start of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
McCollum, selected in the fifth round of the 2022 draft, earned a starting position after a standout performance in 2023, where he played nine games as a starter due to injuries to Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean.<\/p>\n
In 2024, McCollum started in all 17 games, allowing a completion rate of 57.4%, his best mark in three seasons, with two interceptions, 17 passes defended, and 82 tackles.<\/p>\n
One of McCollum’s most outstanding plays in the 2024 season was a pass defended on third down and five yards to go, with 47 seconds remaining in the final game. This action not only preserved the Buccaneers’ one-point lead over the New Orleans Saints, securing their fourth consecutive divisional title, but also helped Mike Evans achieve his eleventh consecutive 1,000-yard season.<\/p>\n
In addition, McCollum achieved an important interception in the Buccaneers’ 20-16 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 2.<\/p>\n
Outside the field, McCollum was recognized with the “Good Guy Award” from the Professional Football Writers of America Association, Tampa chapter, in 2024, for his collaboration with the local media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
