Lawrence Tynes agrees Tampa Bay Buccaneers deal

Former New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes has agreed terms on a deal to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The two-time Super Bowl winner will become the Buccaneers' first-choice kicker following the injury to Connor Barth that will see him out for the season.

"Lawrence and his agent, Ken Harris, had other standing opportunities, but we are pleased that they thought this was the right place for Lawrence to continue his career," the New York Post quotes Bucs general manager Mark Dominik as saying.

Tynes succeeded with 84.6% of his kicks for the Giants last season.
