The Buccaneers have added a new swing tackle. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, the Bucs are signing Charlie Heck to a one-year deal. The deal is worth $1.6MM.
A former fourth-round pick out of North Carolina, Heck spent the first four seasons of his career with the Texans. He got into 41 games during his stint in Houston, with 32 of his appearances coming between the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
The veteran re-signed with the organization last offseason but was cut at the end of the preseason. He quickly caught on with the Cardinals practice squad, and he proceeded to get into seven games for his new squad. He was snagged by the 49ers off Arizona’s taxi squad in December, and he garnered a pair of late-season starts for San Francisco.
The Buccaneers have their two tackle spots secured with Tristan Wirfs and Luke Goedeke. Heck will provide the team with an experienced backup option, with 2023 UDFA Elijah Klein representing the team’s only other in-house option at the moment.
Oh Well, What the HECK !!
