Connor Barth’s unemployment didn’t even last all of Wednesday. The Bucs are bringing back the veteran kicker to compete with Patrick Murray over the next week.
Barth kicked for the Bucs from 2009-12, was hurt in 2013 and was cut in the preseason last year in favor of Murray.
Murray has missed two field goals and an extra point this preseason, which prompted the team to bring back Barth after he was released by the Broncos Wednesday morning. Barth went 15-of-16 on field goal tries with the Broncos over the final five weeks of last season but was cut in favor of the player he replaced last year, Brandon McManus.
