Bucs Add J.J. Wilcox to Secondary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found help for the front end of their defense on the first day of free agency, reaching a deal with former Washington defensive tackle Chris Baker. On Day Three, the back end of the defense got an infusion of talent, too.

On Friday, the Buccaneers agreed to terms on a two-year contract with safety J.J. Wilcox, an unrestricted free agent who played his first four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Originally a third-round pick out of Georgia Southern in 2013, Wilcox has played in 58 games with 38 starts and recorded 196 tackles, five interceptions, 15 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
