The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added some competition to their defensive line group on Wednesday.
The Buccaneers signed two young defensive ends who previously entered the NFL as undrafted free agents: Georgia's Sterling Bailey and Clemson's Tavaris Barnes. To make room on the 90-man offseason roster, the team released defensive end Deondre Barnett and linebacker Paul Magliore, a pair of rookies signed after this year's draft.
Barnes originally signed with the New Orleans Saints after the 2015 draft, while Bailey landed with Indianapolis a year later. Both the 6-4, 282-pound Barnes and the 6-4, 285-pound Bailey have the size and strength to potentially help Tampa Bay on its interior line.
