The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added a new kicker to their 91-man training camp roster on Sunday, signing Zach Hocker, formerly of the Saints and Rams. More importantly, the Buccaneers will have a new kicker when the 2017 regular season begins.
That became a certainty on Saturday when Tampa Bay released Roberto Aguayo, their kicker in 2016. After a rough rookie season, Aguayo got some competition for the job when the team brought in veteran kicker Nick Folk during the 2017 offseason. After Folk made a 45-yard field goal and Aguayo missed an extra point and a 47-yard try in Friday's preseason opener, the team decided that competition was over.
