The veteran defensive lineman signed a three-year contract with the Buccaneers in the offseason, following a 32-tackle, 2.5-sack season in 2017. Given that he's served as a part-time player over the course of his career, Unrein projects as a valuable rotational piece on a deep defensive line in the coming season.
Although Unrein was a starter for the Bears in 2016, the eight-year veteran has yet to amass more than 26 tackles in a season. In addition, the only sack of his career came last year, and although he should see extensive playing time, his production as an IDP will likely be minimal.
Unrein was brought in to compete with Ryan Carrethers for playing time behind Sean Lissemore at nose tackle.
Unrein has the ability to take up lots of space on the defensive line, but he'll be mostly playing as Terrance Knighton's backup, and neither get to the quarterback enough to warrant significant IDP valuations.
