It’s not shocking to see defensive tackle Will Gholston back in a Bucs uniform. It will mark his twelfth year of doing so.
The timing of his return signing with Tampa Bay does appear to be noteworthy.
“There was no set time with it, just like last year,” Will Gholston stated on the Pewter Report Podcast. “I thought I would just sign. Start it in that direction. My children are always asking me what I’m up to.
He responded in a laid-back manner, and who could blame him? Having lived in Tampa for more than ten years, there are benefits to playing there as compared to other locations in the league.
But we were interested to know if Gholston had considered using his free agency to sign with another team. Given that Will Gholston played for Michigan State and was a native of Detroit, there would have been connections to playing for the young Detroit Lions.
It would understandable that he would want to go back to a familiar location if they asked him to, especially because the Lions, who defeated the Bucs to go to the NFC Championship Game the previous season, appeared to be a Super Bowl candidate once more. Gholston didn’t actually have that idea in mind.
“Consider? You always consider your options when you have options,” Will Gholston said. “But I don’t think I would want to play anywhere else. That’s the true answer. I’m definitely a Buccaneer man. Plus I think that’s way too close to home. Here, in Tampa, I still have a lot of privacy. I don’t think I would have the same privacy if I played in Detroit.”
