The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that the team has signed wide receiver Donteea Dye, running back Devine Redding and long snapper Garrison Sanborn. Tampa Bay had roster spots availability after injuries to wide receiver Sergio Bailey, and running back Charles Sims.

Sanborn will be given a look at long snapper after a poor snap contributed to a missed extra point in the Bucs loss to the Lions on Friday night.

“Yeah, it was a low snap and Bryan Anger was trying to get it down and it was just bang-bang,” Dirk Koetter said on Saturday. “When Chandler was there to kick it, the ball wasn’t quite down so he hit it kind of funny. Of course, any time you’re having that, that’s a concern and that’s something we’re going to have to address.”

Dye (5-10, 195) spent time with Tampa Bay from 2015-16, playing in 11 games, with five starts, catching 11 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown. A Cincinnati native, Dye played collegiately at Heidelberg.

Redding (5-8, 205) played collegiately at Indiana. He originally entered the league as a college free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017 and spent that offseason and preseason with the team. He is a native of Youngstown, Ohio.

Sanborn (6-1, 240) played in all 16 games for Tampa Bay last season, after having played for the Buffalo Bills for eight seasons (2009-16). In his career, he has played in 144 games, recording 31 special teams tackles and one fumble recovery. A Tampa native, Sanborn played high school football at Jesuit High School and collegiately at Florida State.
