Ex-Giants TE Kyle Rudolph signing with Buccaneers

Former New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph is joining Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Former New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph is signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN insider Adam Schefter announced the deal Wednesday evening.

Rudolph, of course, joined the Giants last offseason to help chip in as a blocking tight end. The team also had hopes that he’d become an effective red zone target but that never really panned out.

Rudolph’s time with Big Blue quickly came to an end as he announced back in March.

Rudolph will move on to a Bucs team that is primed to make another run for a Super Bowl title. With arguably the greatest quarterback of All-Time in Tom Brady, Rudolph is going to a very good situation with Tampa.

Rudolph will likely slide in behind Cameron Brate but will certainly get a chance to produce after the retirement of future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski.

The departures of Evan Engram and Rudolph has certainly left the Giants thin at the tight end position. They signed Ricky Seals-Jones but after him and rookie Daniel Bellinger, there isn’t much depth for Big Blue.

It’s almost a certainty that Rudolph finds himself in a better situation with the Bucs as he continues the back end of career. With Tampa Bay, he has a much better chance of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in February — a feat he has yet to accomplish is his career.
