Former Arizona Cardinals safety Deone Bucannon has reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal reunites Bucannon with new Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and outside linebackers coach Larry Foote. All three were previously on the staff with the Cardinals.
Bucannon had offers to go elsewhere, but really wanted to return to the "coaches who believed in him and made him the original 'Moneybacker' in Arians, Todd and Foote," a source told ESPN's Jenna Laine.
Bucannon, playing in former coach Steve Wilks' 4-3 defensive scheme, struggled to find the field for the Cardinals in 2018, starting just six games and playing fewer than 10 snaps in a game on four occasions.
