The Bucs have re-signed tight end Antony Auclair to a one-year deal, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Auclair was set to become a restricted free agent before this deal got done. He has played three seasons for the Bucs after signing with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2017 out of Laval University.

Auclair has primarily had a blocking role as the third string tight end on the Bucs roster, but has started developing more of his receiving game. He has also played an important role on special teams. Auclair’s 2019 season was cut short after getting placed on season ending IR in November with a turf toe injury.
In three seasons Auclair has made 10 receptions for 84 yards, with four of those receptions resulting in a first down. Auclair, who is considered the best blocking tight end on the Bucs roster, will compete for the third string tight end role playing Cam Brate and O.J. Howard.
