2 years agoFormer Chicago Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks reached an agreement on Tuesday on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source. Hicks comes to Tampa after playing in only nine games in his sixth and final season with the Bears. The 32-year-old defensive lineman finished with 25 tackles (19 solo), five tackles for loss, nine QB hits and 3.5 sacks in 2021. He'll joined a stacked Tampa defensive line that also includes Vita Vea and second-rounder Logan Hall. Hicks' addition probably means that Ndamukong Suh's time with the Bucs is over. Hicks was a Pro Bowler for Chicago in 2018 and has 40.5 career sacks in 10 NFL seasons after the New Orleans Saints originally drafted him in the third round in 2012 out of Regina.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
