Report: Buccaneers Agree To Terms With S Major Wright

 

Update:

Ian Rapoport reports that the Buccaneers have agreed to a one-year contract with former Bears S  Major Wright. 

• Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that the Buccaneers are expected to sign Wright to a contract.
• Stroud mentions that an agreement between the two parties is not finalized as of now.
• However, Wright will likely sign a deal at some point, according to Stroud.

Last we heard, Wright had left his visit with the Buccaneers without a contract, but

Wright, 25, was taken in third round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Bears and has spent the first four years of his career in Chicago.

Last year, he appeared in 15 games for the Bears and totaled 101 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown.

However, he was a liability in coverage and even struggled to be an effective run-defender for the Bears. Pro Football Focus rated him as the worst qualifying safety in the league last year.

Blessed and grateful to finally get this journey started. It’s going to be great to see familiar old faces in Tampa.
