EDGE Analysis

The parade of players with ties to the current Bucs staff from their days in Atlanta continued with Biermann, whose visit was prompted by Tampa having lost defensive end Jacquies Smith to a torn ACL in the opener. Biermann played for current Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith from 2008-14 when the latter was Falcons head coach, amassing 21 sacks during that period. The 31-year-old was released by the Bills during final cuts in early September after an eight-year tenure in Atlanta that saw him amass 333 tackles (218 solo), 23.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pair of interceptions. Although he wasn't signed following the workout, the veteran figures to remain within the team's sights for the foreseeable future.
