The Buccaneers re-signed DE Tim Crowder to a two-year deal, the team announced on Friday.

Crowder started nine games last season and finished third on the team with three sacks. He also recorded 31 tackles, four passes defensed and a forced fumble.

The fifth-year NFL veteran spent his first two seasons with the Bronco and has 10½ sacks in 50 career games.

Crowder will have some competition for playing time along the D-line, as the Bucs used their first two picks of the draft to select defensive ends, Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers.

The Bucs also signed free-agent QB Jonathan Crompton, who was cut by the Patriots earlier this week.
