Tight end Kyle Rudolph is signing a one-year deal with the Buccaneers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.
The former Vikings and Giants tight end will join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay next season. The quarterback apparently already had a bit of college football banter with Rudolph, telling Rudolph he can’t be his first read since the tight end went to Notre Dame, per Schefter
This news comes shortly after Brady’s longtime favorite target Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement from the NFL.
The details of Rudolph’s contract have yet to be released.
