the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the
deal is for one year.
Nassib,
29, came out gay last year in an Instagram post. At the time, he
was playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. Nassib became a free agent
after the Raiders released him earlier this year.
Nassib previously played for the
Buccaneers in 2018 and 2019.
Nassib became the first active NFL
player to come out publicly when he released a short video on his
Instagram account.
