Bradley Pinion's time with the San Francisco 49ers has come to an end. The punter plans to sign a four-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report from Dan Graziano of ESPN.
PUNTER NEWS! Free-agent punter Bradley Pinion plans to leave the 49ers to sign a four-year deal with the Buccaneers, per source. Pinion was the Niners' 5th-round pick in the 2015 draft and also handled kickoffs in San Francisco.
Just minutes before Graziano reported the news, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the Buccaneers released their punter, Bryan Anger. The move made room for Pinion to join Tampa Bay.

Pinion was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week this past season after a three-punt, 164-net-yards performance during Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders. The game included his season-long 64-yard punt.
