A'Shawn Robinson will bring depth to the Buccaneers' defensive line. He officially inked a deal with Tampa Bay on Friday. He has appeared in 143 career games between the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers, making 106 starts. Robinson has amassed 500 total tackles (37 tackles for loss), 37 quarterback hits, 23 passes defended, 15.0 sacks, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and one interception for a touchdown. The 10-year veteran has also started 6-of-8 postseason appearances, accumulating 38 tackles (one for loss), one sack, one quarterback hit and one forced fumble.
Since entering the league in 2016, Robinson ranks eighth among defensive linemen for total tackles. His most notable campaign came with Carolina in 2024, where he set career highs in tackles (43), quarterback hits (8) and sacks (5.5). Robinson helped lead the Rams to a Super Bowl LVI victory in the 2021 season. Robinson has the power and short-area quickness to play in both a one- or two-gap scheme and will bring his strength to the Buccaneers' defense.
