Buccaneers To Sign Veteran Long Snapper Scott Daly

The move sets up a direct challenge to incumbent Evan Deckers for a specialist job where consistency is prized.

Overview

  • The Buccaneers are signing Scott Daly after a rookie minicamp tryout, according to reporting relayed by Fox SportsGreg Auman.
  • To create space on the 90-man roster, the team waived undrafted rookie long snapper Wesley Brown, per The Sporting News.
  • Daly will compete with Evan Deckers for the long snapper role, the specialist who delivers the ball on punts and placekicks.
  • The Notre Dame product brings NFL experience from stints with the Lions and Bears and offers more veteran mileage than Deckers.
  • Pro Football Rumors notes Tampa Bay has about $9.35 million in cap room, so Daly’s deal is expected near the minimum as the competition continues into OTAs starting May 26.
