TAMPA — One day after the Bucs parted ways with former second-round pick Roberto Aguayo, Tampa Bay fans had another twist to ponder on Sunday: Aguayo kicking against the Bucs? In Week 2, at Raymond James Stadium?
Aguayo, the former All-American at Florida State, was claimed off waivers by the Bears, where —- in another wrinkle — he'll compete with veteran Connor Barth, who was cut by the Bucs last year after they drafted Aguayo.
The move does have some financial benefit for the Bucs — by claiming Aguayo, the Bears are assuming his rookie contract, which means the Bucs are off the hook for what was $428,000 in guaranteed 2017 base salary for Aguayo.
