It didn't take long for T.J Ward to find a new home after he was released by the Denver Broncos on Saturday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to sign the three-time Pro Bowl safety, according to NFL Network's James Palmer.

The 30-year-old will join a young emerging defense in Tampa, desperate for consistent play from its safety positions.

Ward racked up 87 tackles, eight passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one interception, and one sack during his final season in Denver.

The Broncos decision to part ways with one year left on Ward's contract saved them $4.5 million in cap space, according to spotrac.com.
