Tampa-Bay on the clock

This might be Jon Grudens tell-tell year if he can’t get the Bucs to the playoffs on a consistent basis. Going 9-7 and winning the NFC south was cool, but he has to be much better. having a stable of QBs will help the Bucs on draft day. Teams looking for a quality back-up will have the Bucs phones ringing. Look for the Bucs to go after either a Big Play guy on offense or Defensive back-ups.
The Bucs select:OLB, Keith Rivers, USC at 6′3/235 this guy is a top ten talent. showed great speed and agility at the combine for his size. Had 240 tackles and 5.5 sacks. will likely replace Derrick Brooks.
key free agents:
Paris Warren (WR) signed (one-year contract).
Jeff Faine (C) signed/unrestricted free agent (six-year contract).
Jimmy Wilkerson (DE) signed/unrestricted free agent.
John Gilmore (TE) signed/unrestricted free agent.
Brian Griese (QB) traded (for undisclosed 2009 draft pick).
Leon Joe (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract).
Matt McCoy (LB) signed.
Teddy Lehman (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract).
Sammy Davis (CB) re-signed/unrestricted free agent.
Ben Troupe (TE) signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract).
Antonio Bryant (WR) signed.
Warrick Dunn (RB) signed (two-year contract).
Eugene Wilson (CB) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract).
Marques Douglas (DE) signed/unrestricted free agent.
Kevin Carter (DE) signed.
getting some more veteran help was key in free agency. Signing Dunn to help injury prone Williams in the run game.
