Brandon Magee, who was cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday morning, is headed to spring training with the Boston Red Sox.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity they gave me at the time. Right now, I'm focused on spring training," Magee told the Tampa Bay Times.

Magee played both football and baseball at Arizona State and was drafted by the Red Sox in 2012. He previously was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics. Magee was with the Red Sox in extended spring training last year before signing with the Buccaneers.

The linebacker played primarily on special teams for the Buccaneers last season.
