Rodgers is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Bucs on Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran back will provide quality depth behind Doug Martin and Charles Sims at the third running back spot, a role that was filled by undrafted rookie Peyton Barber in the opener against the Falcons. Rodgers had worked out for the Bucs last week, but the team opted to wait until Tuesday to sign him so as not to be on the hook for his 2016 salary if he's released before the end of the season. The six-year pro has 1,157 yards and five touchdowns on the ground over his first five seasons, along with 156 receptions for 1,114 yards and another five scores. Rodgers is also capable of handling kickoff returns, although he's notably only been deployed in that capacity once each over his last two seasons.
