Overview
- The team announced the signing on Monday, a move also reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
- Miami plans to use Heck at right tackle in a backup role behind Austin Jackson, who has missed significant time the past two seasons.
- He played 17 games with six starts for the Buccaneers in 2025, logging 458 snaps at right tackle while filling in for injured starter Luke Goedeke.
- Pro Football Focus graded him near the bottom of qualifying tackles last season, and charting credited him with 32 pressures allowed on 289 pass-blocking snaps, including three sacks.
- A 2020 fourth-round pick by the Texans, Heck has since had stops with the 49ers, Cardinals and Buccaneers, and his addition follows Miami’s loss of swing tackle Larry Borom to the Lions.
