Aguayo was 22-of-31 on field goals last season, and he was 32-34 on extra points. Folk, 32, played the last seven seasons with the New York Jets, and he played the first three seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys. He has connected on 81.3 percent of his career field goal attempts.
Aguayo signed with the Chicago Bears, and it will be intriguing to monitor the Bucs' kicking situation throughout the season.
