Tucker remains on the roster as one of the NFL's best RB3s after the Bucs tendered him as a restricted free agent for one year at $3.52 million—nearly the value of Irving's entire 4-year rookie deal. In 2025, Tucker led the team in rushing touchdowns with 7 and added 1 receiving TD for 354 total yards, showcasing homerun potential and short-yardage effectiveness. However, he averaged less than 4 yards per carry and has struggled with consistent playing time and efficiency, so he will need to make his touches count early to earn a larger role amid Irving's health questions and Gainwell's arrival.
