Veteran Kyle Rudolph is signing a one-year contact with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday, giving Tom Brady a new tight end target in the wake of Rob Gronkowski's retirement.
Rudolph gives Brady and the Bucs an experienced tight end to pair with Cam Brate.
After him, the Bucs have just one other tight end with actual game experience in Codey McElroy, and while he had a good spring, he's played in just one career game. The team selected Cade Otton in the fourth round and Ko Kieft in the sixth in April's NFL draft.
