Re-ups with Bucs
Tampa Bay re-signed McLendon to a one-year contract Wednesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
McLendon first joined Tampa Bay in a mid-season trade with the Jets in 2020, and he provided the team with valuable depth along the defensive line throughout the path to Super Bowl LV. That said, the 35-year-old veteran is essentially off the fantasy radar in IDP formats at this point in his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Knew of trade before last Jets game
McLendon was already aware he was being traded to the Buccaneers when he suited up for the Jets against the Dolphins in Week 6, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive tackle relayed this week he'd been informed of the move Saturday night prior to the game against Miami and was told a car would be waiting to drive him immediately to Tampa and begin COVID protocols following the contest's conclusion. Instead of being declared inactive for Week 6 as would normally be the case when a trade is reached prior to a game, McLendon logged 24 snaps versus the Dolphins in what he termed "one last ride" with the organization he'd played for the last four-plus seasons. The 34-year-old was then able to start his protocol window in timely enough fashion to allow him to practice Friday and leave himself poised to make his Bucs debut Week 7.

McLendon should return as the nose tackle and a locker room leader for the Jets at age 34. He's still a meaningful contributor in New York's defensive line rotation and is coming off a 36-tackle, 2.5-sack campaign.
