The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were awarded tight end Tim Wright off waivers on Friday. According to a report, the Miami Dolphins were one of the other nine teams to make a claim on him.
Tim Wright went unselected in the 2013 NFL Draft, signing a free agent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who moved him from wide receiver to tight end. He finished his rookie year with 54 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns, starting eight games, with appearances in all 16 games for the Buccaneers.
Tim Wright was traded, along with a fourth-round draft choice in 2015, to the New England Patriots during the 2014 Preseason, a move that sent guard Logan Mankins to Tanmpa Bay.
