Multiple reports are surfacing that the Buccaneers have added a big piece along the defensive line. The team reportedly agreed to a one year contract worth up to 10 million dollars with defensive lineman Akiem Hicks.
Hicks, 32 was a free agent after his time with the Chicago Bears had ended. In six seasons in Chicago, Hicks was very productive, having seasons of 7, 8.5 and 7.5 sacks in three straight years. The issue for Hicks recently has been his health. He has not played a full season since 2018, even though he got close to full season in 2020 with 15 games.
