The Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed a running back behind Bucky Irving, and they have one now. 

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported Monday afternoon that the Bucs were signing Kenneth Gainwell, formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers, to a two-year, $14 million deal. 

Gainwell was voted the Steelers’ team MVP last season, ending the year with 537 yards rushing and 486 more receiving.
