The Bucs signed wide receiver Bernard Reedy today to a futures contract, per Greg Augman-Tampa Bay Times. Reedy, 24 was with the Falcons for the 2015 offseason before getting cut right before the season opener. Reedy was a standout at Lakeland high school, and was a star player at Toledo. Measuring at 5'9 175lbs, he displays good quickness and shiftiness to create separation, but consistency with his hands and route running is his downfall. Reedy is a capable returner providing position flexibility which is good if he wants to make the 53 man roster.
Ideally, Reedy provides good depth for the off season, and will create competition for the other receivers on the team. The good news is coach Koetter is familar with Reedy since they worked together in Atlanta in 2014, so Koetter knows what Reedy is capable of. It would be nice to finally have a returner that has breakaway speed and is consistant unlike last years returner Bobby Rainey. These type of moves are good for the Bucs because it gives the team an early evaluation to see what they truly have, and if it doesn't work they can just release him.
