The Buccaneers added several tantalizing offensive weapons this offseason, and now they will reportedly acquire a veteran safety to shore up the other side of the ball a week before their regular season kicks off.
Tampa Bay is expected to sign T.J. Ward, NFL Network's James Palmer reported. Ward was released by the Broncos earlier Saturday following three seasons and one Super Bowl win with the team.
Ward having a brief stay on the market is hardly a surprise, as The MMQB’s Jenny Vrentas ranked him as the best player available after teams reduced their rosters Saturday from 90 to 53.
