TAMPA — Patrick Murray was happy to be back at One Buc Place on Tuesday, happy to be back in the NFL after interviewing at financial firms and considering putting his Fordham education to use as a commodities trader or in orthopedics. But since being released in training camp by the Saints, he and his father would still go down to Don Bosco Prep (N.J.) at 1 p.m. every Monday-Wednesday-Friday so he could kick for an hour.

Murray was the Bucs' kicker as a rookie in 2014. He made 20 of 24 field goals (83 percent) with a long of 55 yards and did not miss an extra point from the old distance.
