Bucs Reach Deal With Ex-Bear DT Hicks

Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Akiem Hicks reached agreement Tuesday on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hicks' addition likely means the end of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh's time in Tampa. Suh also is an unrestricted free agent. Hicks will now give the Bucs the veteran presence on their defensive line that Suh had provided the past three seasons. The 2021 season was disappointing for Hicks, who battled groin and ankle injuries throughout the year. In nine games last season, Hicks totaled 3.5 sacks, 5 tackles for loss and 9 quarterback hits. Over the past three seasons, injuries have forced Hicks to miss 20 games.
