Sources: Tampa Bay Buccaneers to sign WR Russell Gage, acquire OG Shaq Mason from New England Patriots for draft pick

Russell Gage will remain in the NFC South next season but will be catching passes from Tom Brady instead of Matt Ryan.

The free-agent receiver intends to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a three-year, $30 million contract that includes $20 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Buccaneers also addressed a major need at guard on Tuesday, acquiring Shaq Mason from the New England Patriots in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.

The Buccaneers had openings at both starting guard spots after Alex Cappa agreed to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals and Ali Marpet announced his retirement.
