Report: Bucs, Vikings among teams interested in Kyle Rudolph
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings are among multiple teams interested in free-agent tight end Kyle Rudolph, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.
Rudolph spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Vikings before signing a two-year deal with the New York Giants in free agency last offseason. However, he was released this March after recording 257 receiving yards and one touchdown.
The 32-year-old caught 453 passes for 4,488 yards and 48 touchdowns during his stay in Minnesota. Rudolph would likely slot behind former teammate Irv Smith on the tight-end depth chart if he rejoins the Vikings.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers are in need of help at tight end following the retirement of Rob Gronkowski. Cameron Brate is currently penciled in for the starting job.
