Bucs WR Bernard Reedy goes from $11 an hour to 53-man roster

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Bernard Reedy won’t be returning to side job anytime soon. The former undrafted free agent, who spends his offseason making $11 an hour working as a wheelchair transporter, was informed Saturday that he made the Bucs’ 53-man roster.

Reedy told ESPN, “Words can’t explain it. I’ve fought and fought year after year. To clinch a spot is priceless to me. Now it’s time to continue to progress and help the team in any way I can.”

As a member of the active roster, he’ll make a base salary of $465,000 this year, or a little over $27,300 per week.
