Buccaneers Waive DE Lawrence Sidbury, Sign S Kimario McFadden

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the release of DE Lawrence Sidbury on Tuesday, as well as the signing of S Kimario McFadden.

• The Buccaneers also placed DE Ronald Powell on injured reserve.
• WR Andre Davis was released from their practice squad.
• The Buccaneers signed S Akeem Davis and DE Martin Ifedi to their practice squad.

Sidbury, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Falcons back in 2009. He spent four seasons with the Falcons before catching on with the Colts in 2013. Since then, he’s had brief stints with the Texans and Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay elected to sign him to a one-year deal back in March, but he was unfortunately among their final roster cuts. He’s since worked out for the Bears and Lions, but didn’t receive an offer from either team.

Last year, Sidbury was limited to appearing in just a single game and record one tackle.
