Bucs sign veteran free-agent safety Stewart

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed veteran safety Darian Stewart, the team announced Tuesday.

Stewart, a member of the Broncos' "No Fly Zone" that led the NFL in pass defense in back-to-back seasons and helped power the team to a Super Bowl 50 win, was released in March with two years remaining on his contract.

The 30-year-old Stewart, who is entering his 10th NFL season, was slated to count $6.37 million against the salary cap for the Broncos. Stewart, who said he felt he still had a lot of football left in him, was due nearly $5 million in 2019 and 2020.
