The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted a little more thump in their kicking game, and they found it in the big right leg of Chandler Catanzaro, the former Arizona Cardinal and New York Jet.
On Friday, the Buccaneers signed Catanzaro, an unrestricted free agent after three years in the desert and one in the Big Apple, to a 3-year contract. He presumably inherits the team's kicking job from Patrick Murray, who became an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
Murray stabilized the Buccaneers' field goal fortunes after Nick Folk's early struggles in 2017, making 19 of 23 attempts, but Tampa Bay's kicking game didn't have particularly good range, either on placekicks or kickoffs.
