TAMPA — Bolstering their depth at defensive tackle, the Bucs on Monday agreed to terms with Tony McDaniel, who started 29 games in the last two seasons for Seattle then was cut last week in a salary-cap move.
McDaniel, 30, who will join the Bucs on Tuesday pending a physical, had 31 tackles last year and 53 in 2013, and joins a strong rotation of Gerald McCoy, Henry Melton and Clinton McDonald in the Bucs' interior line. The Bucs will open the season without third-year pro Akeem Spence, who is recovering from back surgery and said last week that at best he will return in October.
