Brice

Brice needs to pass a physical and the COVID-19 testing, but assuming that happens, he will be projected to make the roster as a depth piece in a secondary that struggled defending the tight end in particular last season. Brice needs to showcase special teams ability to guarantee a spot on the roster.

A shaky reserve for the Packers over the past three seasons, Brice’s main skill was gobbling up snaps. He has just one career pick in 36 games and has not been an asset against the run. Even with an up for grabs depth chart at safety in Tampa, Brice’s ceiling is probably No. 3 duties.

Brice met with the Texans on Thursday after being non-tendered by the Packers and is also slated to visit the Buccaneers on Monday. The 24-year-old Louisiana Tech alum tallied 49 tackles over 14 games including 10 starts for Green Bay in 2018.

It sounds like Brice will miss this week’s Thursday night tilt with the Seahawks. It is ill timed for a defense that just traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and cut Jermaine Whitehead.

A key reserve the past two seasons, Brice has been mixing in with the 1s through the early days of camp. Brice lost most of 2018 to an ankle injury.

Brice was injured in Week 4 against the Bears but ended up playing four weeks on the injury. It was later revealed he suffered a torn deltoid ligament in the ankle and needed surgery two months later. A former 2016 UDFA out of Louisiana Tech, Brice has been in on over 600 snaps the past two years.
