Buccaneers Trade Tim Wright to Lions

On Monday, the Buccaneers announced they had traded tight end Tim Wright to the Detroit Lions for kicker Kyle Brindza. The move marks the second time the Buccaneers have traded Wright away in a calendar year.

Brindza, a rookie out of Notre Dame, has been impressive this preseason. He's converted on all three of his field goals he's attempted with a long of 51 yards. He also can punt; he booted four balls this preseason and averaged 49.3 yards per kick.

With the addition, the Bucs now have three kickers on their roster - Brindza, Patrick Murray and Connor Barth.
