Seeing defensive tackle Will Gholston in a Bucs uniform again isn’t a surprise. This will be his 12th year doing so.
What does come off as interesting is the timing in which he signed back with Tampa Bay.
Over the last three seasons Will Gholston has been signing one-year contracts with the Bucs. Last year, however, Gholston signed the day before training camp began in late July. That means he couldn’t be part of Tampa Bay’s offseason programs along with OTAs and mandatory mini-camp.
This year he got a head start signing with the Bucs in April right as the start of the offseason program.
It certainly gives Gholston a head start into the season, but why such a big difference this time around?

“Same as last year, wasn’t no set time with it,” Will Gholston said on the Pewter Report Podcast. “I figured I’d just sign. Get it going that way. My kids kept asking me what I’m doing.”
