On Monday, the Buccaneers and tight end Cameron Brate agreed to a six-year deal. Jason La Canfora with CBS Sports broke the news.
Brate entered the 2018 free agency period as a restricted free agent. The Bucs could have placed a tender on Brate, but were able to agree on a long-term deal instead. The fourth-year undrafted tight end out of Harvard has 14 touchdowns the past two seasons and is one of quarterback Jameis Winston’s favorite targets.
This move allows Tampa Bay to continue have two very talented tight ends on the field at the same time.
