The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense and defense have been so bad this season that it would be easy to overlook that they've been awful in the kicking game, too.
But the Bucs' kickers have been awful, and now they've made a change.
PewterReport.com is reporting the Buccaneers have signed free agent kicker Connor Barth and released K Shane Andrus. Barth becomes the Bucs' third kicker this season; Andrus was signed to replace Mike Nugent.
Andrus had only attempted one field goal in four games since replacing Nugent, a 43-yard attempt that came up short. Barth, who previously kicked for the Chiefs, has made 10 of 12 field goals in his career.
Bucs sign a kicker, cut a kicker

Too bad they didn't fire a coach and then hire a coach., again. They can cut and sign all the players they want. Until Radio Raheem and his band of merry under assistants are gone, this team is going to the Toilet Bowl.....
I am a Bucs fan but this latest regime is a pack of buffoons. Gruden has got to be laughing.
Anyone could of seen Radio wasnt ready to run a professional team, or even a pee wee team for that matter.
Perhaps Karma for having Matt Bryant kick the day after his son's funeral?
Sign a kicker

Cut a lot
Sign a little more
DJP i agree 100% the HEAD COACH is the biggest problem the bucs have
Good thing Gruden was fired. He was really holding the team back.
Now the team is returning to its roots and traditions. The creamsicles and real Buc football is back.
NFL Films will chronicle it all in the latest Football Follies.
I'm confused why they wouldn't sign Billy Cundiff. He was released by the Browns today and all he did for them was hit EVERY SINGLE FIELD GOAL he attempted.
