The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially announced signing defensive tackle Tony McDaniel and punter Karl Schmitz today.
McDaniel will compete at nose tackle in place of Akeem Spence, who suffered a months-long back injury this offseason. Given his $2.5 million contract and a long history of quality play, McDaniel has a good chance of making the roster and even making an impact this season. Schmitz will get the opportunity to kick out Michael Koenen in a competition with him and Spencer Lanning.
The Bucs waived linebackers Quinton Alston (injured) and Sammuel Lamur to make room for McDaniel and Schmitz.
