The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they have claimed kicker Kai Forbath off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys. During his 50-game career at UCLA, Forbath was 85-of-101 on field goal attempts and 102-for-104 on extra point attempts. Forbath's top season came as a junior in 2009 when he was 28-of-31 on field goal attempts and won the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation's top kicker. Undrafted in 2011, Forbath was signed by the Cowboys, where he spent the entire season on the "Reserve/Non-Football Injury" list. Paid at the practice squad rate ($5,700 per week) last season, Forbath does not have an accrued season and is signed through the 2013 season at the league minimum base salaries ($390,000 in 2012, $480,000 in 2013).
