The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making some moves on the offensive line after a tough 42-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.

According to Adam Caplan of ESPN, the Buccaneers have decided to add former Atlanta Falcons starting center Joe Hawley.

C Joe Hawley's 2-year deal with #Buccaneers: Worth max of $5.75m. Base salary for 2015 is $1.25m (fully guaranteed).

The two-year deal featuring a fully guaranteed 2015 salary means that the Buccaneers may expect to get Hawley into the action sooner than later. While they have Evan Smith at center currently, it's going to be an interesting situation to watch heading into Week 2.
