Defensive end Robert Ayers has found a new home in the NFC South for the 2016 season.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Ayers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with $10.5 million guaranteed. Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports confirmed the report.

"Ayers has been pretty solid playing inside all year long, if you've noticed that," former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said last season, per NJ Advance Media's Jordan Raanan. 

Now 30 years old, Ayers doesn't bring youth to Tampa Bay, but he will provide the team with another valuable pass-rusher.
