Free-agent offensive guard J.R. Sweezy reached an agreement Wednesday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud.
Sweezy, a seventh-round pick in 2012, made steady progress across four years with the Seattle Seahawks. He served as line depth during his first season before starting 46 of a possible 48 games over the remaining three years of his rookie contract.
The 26-year-old NC State product is a hard-nosed guard with a definite mean streak. He's not the most steady or consistent option, especially when it comes to pass protection, but there are stretches where he can be a punishing run-blocker.
