The Buccaneers will sign guard/tackle Joe Haeg, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). The former fifth-round pick will help protect new quarterback Tom Brady, who finalized his deal earlier today. It’s a one-year pact worth $2.3MM that can inflate to $3.3MM if he hits incentives, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network tweets.

Haeg, who just turned 27, appeared in all 16 games for the Colts last year. Over the last four years, he’s suited up for 55 games with 35 of those contests coming as starts. He was a full-time starter in 2016 and 2017, but operated as Indy’s backup reserve tackle last year due to the strength of their offensive line.
At 6’6″ and 298 pounds, Haeg offers valuable size and versatility. He’ll likely remain as a reserve in Tampa, but an important one that can be used on the outside and on the interior.
Less than 500 snaps over the last 2 years combined and 72 last season. All of his snaps are year 1 and 2, his protection helped put Andrew Luck in a retirement home.
So he barely played with luck but still is to blame for luck retiring?
Yes. 2016 900+ snaps… Luck missed all of 2017. 2018 played in the last quarter of the season and playoffs. Luck retired.
You mean in 2016 when he Re-injured his shoulder from his 2015 injury. He also played through it and got in a snowboard accident
