On Tuesday ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed Akiem Hicks to a one year deal. The contract could be worth up to $10 million with incentives, but a chance to get a Super Bowl ring with one of the best teams in the NFC is likely incentive enough for the 32-year old, former Chicago Bears’ Pro Bowl defensive lineman.
Hicks spent six of his ten years as a professional with the Bears, compiling 31 sacks, 88 quarterback hits, and 51 tackles for loss in 77 games.
