The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a pair of special teams moves on Monday, signing former Pittsburgh Steelers kicker B.T. Potter while releasing former University of Kentucky punter Aidan Laros.

“Bucs signed kicker B.T. Potter and waived punter Aidan Laros,” Tampa Bay Times NFL reporter Rick Stroud wrote on his official X account on Monday. “Potter (5-10, 200) has previous NFL experience with the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in the 2023 preseason with them.”

Potter was a 2-time All-ACC selection at Clemson in 2021 and 2022, and won a national championship with the Tigers in 2018. He played for the Steelers in 2023 and for the UFL’s Michigan Panthers in 2025.

Laros averaged 45.0 yards per punt over the last 2 seasons at Kentucky and signed with the Buccaneers on May 12. Kentucky was Laros’ 3rd college stop after 1 season at Tennessee-Martin and 1 season at Charlotte.
