He was one of their big targets and the Bucs have made their first big splash of free agency. The Buccaneers have signed former Falcons middle linebacker and anchor of the Atlanta defense Curtis Lofton.
The Bucs just significantly weakened the Falcons by stealing away Lofton. Lofton is arguably the heart and soul of one of the better defense in the league last year and if he can port that over to a growing and impressionable Bucs squad it’s safe to say it will do beyond wonders.
He was one of the premier run stoppers in the league last year, an area that killed the Bucs. If the defensive line fails at any point like it did last year, having a guy like Lofton to serve as a safety net will not only help stop the run but it will take some heat off the front line.
The signing puts to rest fears the the Glazers would be timid in the market and play their signings conservative.
Bringing on Lofton is a brilliant move for the Buccaneers, as not only will he start and immediately contribute, he can mentor Mason Foster who displayed the tools to be a solid middle linebacker last season but not the know-how to grow them.
Plus Bucs fans are potentially going to get the free agent bonanza they have been hoping for as with news the Bears have traded for the Dolphins Brandon Marshall, the teams in need of a big receiver are dwindling and the Bucs willingness to spend is being displayed with this latest signing.
