For some teams, 90 roster spots aren’t nearly enough, so they keep churning the bottom.

The Buccaneers added two new names Wednesday, claiming safety John Lowdermilk off waivers from the Vikings, and signing wide receiver Freddie Martino, per Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times.

Martino has some experience with coach Dirk Koetter, as he was on Atlanta’s roster in 2014 when Koetter was offensive coordinator there.

Lowdermilk went to camp with the Chargers last year, but was a late add to the Vikings roster. He’s the son of longtime NFL center Kirk Lowdermilk.

To clear the roster spots, they waived undrafted rookie safety Traveon Henry, and waived-injured undrafted rookie receiver Dez Stewart.
