The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Sunday that they’ve signed K Zach Hocker to a contract.
This comes just a day after the Bucs elected to waive former second-round K Roberto Aguayo. Hocker will get an opportunity to compete with Nick Folk for the starting job in Tampa.
Hocker, 25, is a former seventh-round pick of the Redskins back in 2014. He spent just a few months in Washington before he was waived at the start of the 2014 season.
After sitting out the entire season, the Dolphins signed him to a future/reserve contract in January of 2015.
