Currently embroiled in a contract dispute with the Cowboys, Parsons would absolutely shift the direction of the Buccaneers' defense, which already possesses a pretty solid pass rush to begin with (Tampa Bay totaled 46 sacks in 2024).

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held a joint practice session at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The NFL season kicks off September 4 with a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.

The Buccaneers defeated the Titans, 29-7, with Tennessee’s only score coming on a short Tony Pollard touchdown run in the second quarter. Ward completed five of eight passes for 67 yards in his NFL debut. The Titans are back on the road for Week 2 of the preseason next week against the Atlanta Falcons.
