According to Adam Caplan, the Buccaneers have re-signed DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches to a one-year, $2.25 million deal.
Caplan adds the deal includes $1 million guaranteed. Nunez-Roches should have the chance for more playing time with DT Beau Allen off to New England.
Nunez-Roches, 26, is a former sixth-round pick out of Southern Miss by the Chiefs back in the 2014 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year rookie contract but wound up being waived and signed to the team’s practice squad.
The Chiefs eventually promoted him to their active roster and tendered him at the original-round level last. However, Kansas City somewhat surprisingly waived Nunez-Roches a few weeks after he signed his restricted tender.
The Colts quickly claimed him off waivers, only to cut him loose as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players and he later signed on with the Buccaneers. He re-signed with the Buccaneers in 2019.
In 2019, Nunez-Roches appeared in all 16 games for the Buccaneers and recorded nine total tackles and one fumble recovery.
