Examining impact of Detroit Lions losing Al-Quadin Muhammad to Buccaneers in free agency.

On Thursday, the Buccaneers announced the signing of veteran outside linebacker Al-Quadin Muhammad, adding an edge rusher that is coming off the best season of his career.

Muhammad signing with the Buccaneers marks the second Lions defender to do so this week. He joins his former teammate in Detroit, Alex Anzalone, who agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal with the Buccaneers earlier this week after spending five seasons with the Lions.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers make a move finally at the pass rush position.

Free agent defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad has agreed to a one-year deal with the Buccaneers that's worth up to $6 million, according to NFL Network.

Muhammad tallied 11 sacks and 20 QB hits for the Lions last season, mashing his best marks as a pro. The journeyman pass rusher played two seasons in Detroit. Tampa Bay was believed to be targeting pass rush help, but thus far in free agency, Jason Licht’s team has stood down.
