The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed cornerback Kindle Vildor to a one-year deal. This move adds depth and versatility to the Buccaneers’ defensive backfield.
Vildor, 27, has played for several teams since entering the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick in 2020. His previous stints include time with the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles, and Detroit Lions.
Throughout his career, Vildor has demonstrated his ability to make plays on the ball. His career statistics include 124 total tackles, one sack, 15 pass deflections, one interception, and one forced fumble.
The Buccaneers are expected to utilize Vildor in various roles, including special teams and cornerback. His addition provides competition for the team’s cornerback spots and bolsters the defense’s overall depth.
The one-year deal is a “veteran salary benefit” contract, which is a cost-effective way for the Buccaneers to add veteran talent to their roster. The contract is worth $1.17 million, with only $1.03 million counting against the cap.
This signing is part of the Buccaneers’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their defense. By adding Vildor to the mix, the team is looking to improve its secondary and create more turnovers.
