While Kyle Brindza was missing three kicks against the Panthers on Sunday, former Buccaneers kicker Connor Barth was using his Twitter account to remind his old team that he was available.
His self-promotion has reportedly paid off. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the team is bringing Barth back into the organization after releasing Brindza on Monday.
Barth kicked for Tampa from 2009-2012, missed the 2013 season with an Achilles injury and was released before the start of the 2014 season. Barth made 15-of-16 field goals for the Broncos in five games later in the year, but lost a competition to Brandon McManus this summer. He landed back in Tampa for a little bit, but the Bucs opted to go with Brindza when they cut their roster down to 53 players.
Now they’re reversing course and bringing the veteran back for another tour of duty after also taking a look at Randy Bullock, Kai Forbath and Billy Cundiff.
