Giants' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Heading to New York
Nunez-Roches is in line to ink a three-year deal with the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Nunez-Roches has been in the league eight years, including the last five with the Buccaneers. He posted 33 tackles and two sacks last season, which were career highs. The 29-year-old defensive tackle is expected to play rotational snaps behind Dexter Lawrence. Unless he's needed to fill in should Lawrence miss time, Nunez-Roches will be a low-ceiling IDP option.

Buccaneers' Rakeem Nunez-Roches: Staying in Tampa Bay
Nunez-Roches re-signed with the Buccaneers on a two-year, $5 million deal Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The offseason strategy for Tampa Bay is clear as the franchise pursues a Super Bowl repeat; bring everybody back.

Nunez-Roches started all four of Tampa Bay's postseason games in January and February, collecting four tackles and a QB hit.

Nunez-Roches came off the bench for Tampa last season, recording nine tackles on 293 defensive snaps in 16 games.

There hasn't been any indication that Nunez-Roches' foot injury from Week 17 was serious.
