New York Daily News....Manningham is "probably" going to sign with Bucs

According to the New York Daily News, free agent Mario Manningham is "probably" going to sign with the Buccaneers.

Manningham is looking for at least $7 million to $8 million annually. The Bucs are expected to aim higher on Vincent Jackson once free agency kicks off, but they may fall back on Manningham if Jackson goes to Washington or Chicago. Manningham would add a deep threat to a Buccaneers offense sorely lacking one, but he will undoubtedly be overpaid at his current asking price. Mar 12 - 11:07 AM

Sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii**CENSORED**

Okay. I'll just be happy if we land a free agent this year. Not expecting it honestly.

This would be worse than resigning Michael Clayton

We have no need for a #3 possesion receiver.

Jason LaCanfora must be their source...ha

[Skull and Bones]

would not shock me.  can't say I love the idea either though.  Not at 7-8 mil a year.

Is that possible? I would let out a very boisterous "MEH" if we sign Manningham

[dbrooks55]

Manningham is better than every WR we have....except maybe Williams...and thats a maybe. I wonder what to think if we'd sign Vjax and Manningham...what would that tell us?

[bucjoe]

First he is not just a possession receiver, he is also a deep threat, which the Bucs need.

Second, it would't be as bad as re-signing Michael Clayton.

Third NO WAY is he worth that much money!

[Skull and Bones]

he's definitely better than Clayton.  But I have bigger goals.

Its a higher price than he deserves but thats what happens when your spending in free agency. If Jackson doesn't want to come here I hope we use the big money on Nicks and Fin. If we get those guys I wouldn't mind at all if we got Manningham to touch up the receiving core a bit. Maybe the superstar receiver can be more of a focus the following year.

[alldaway]

Epic fail if this means the Bucs pass on Blackmon, Flloyd, and Wright in the draft.

I slightly cheaper combo would be Colston and Manningham. That would be a nice combo.
