It’s becoming obvious that Alex Tanney’s greatest trick is maintaining employment.

The quarterback who rose to fame through his Youtube video of trick shots has found another home, signing with the Buccaneers today.

Tanney was let go in Cleveland most recently, and has also had stints with the Chiefs and Cowboys (along with minicamp invites from the Steelers and Bills).

The Buccaneers also signed tight end Cameron Brate, wide receiver Quintin Payton and tight end Ian Thompson.

To make the room on the roster, they waived defensive lineman David Hunter, punter Jacob Schum and quarterback Brett Smith.
