Just 12 days before the NFL makes its final cuts, the Bucs have added another position battle, signing back long snapper Andrew DePaola to compete with veteran Garrison Sanborn.
DePaola, 30, has been the Bucs' snapper for the past three years, and is making an impressive recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in last year's season finale against Carolina in January. Sanborn, who had been the Bills' snapper for eight seasons, has had the position to himself for the offseason and in the first two preseason games.
"DePo played really well for us last year," coach Dirk Koetter said.
