Greg Auman reports that the Buccaneers are re-signing K Cairo Santos to “likely” a one-year deal through the 2019 season.
Santos, 26, wound up signing on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Tulane back in 2014. He returned to the Chiefs on a one-year restricted deal worth $1.797 million.
Kansas City elected to place him on injured reserve with a groin strain at the start of the season and cut him loose with a settlement soon after. The Bears later signed him to a contract before placing him on injured reserve for the second time during the 2017 season.
Last year, the Jets signed Santos to a contract but released him during the preseason. He later caught on with the Rams but he lasted just a few weeks in L.A. before signing with the Buccaneers and finishing out the year in Tampa Bay.
In 2018, Santos appeared in two games for the Rams and nine games for the Buccaneers, converting 14 of 18 field goal attempts and 22 of 23 extra point tries.
