The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claim cornerback Kevin Knowles off waivers on Tuesday, according to the NFL personnel and transaction notices.
The reports say the move comes after Tampa Bay makes a corresponding roster change, waiving rookie UDFA Caden Fordham to create space. Knowles previously spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he makes the initial 53-man roster but is later released during the subsequent roster shuffle. As described by the outlets, Knowles then needs to clear waivers before any other team can claim him, which results in Tampa Bay adding him to its roster.
While the outlets provide the same core facts about the claim and roster move, the coverage differs mainly in emphasis—some focus on the transaction itself, while others highlight Knowles’ route through Kansas City’s roster changes and the fact that Tampa Bay uses a waiver claim to bring him onto the team.
