Wow our signings are so insignificant that they are not even posted on NFL.COM. Way to let all the good free agents slip through our fingers Bruce. I like the center pick up, but making him the highest paid center in the league??? I would rather take my chances with Buenning a Lehr and pick up Justin Smith or Odom. I was really looking forward to Tampa making a strong push to majorly upgrade our roster. But they blew it. The fact that they are not willing to let go of Derrick Brooks to pick up Lance Briggs says it all. I love Derrick but it is time to move on, BUT IT WAS OK TO FEED LINCH AND SAPP TO THE WOLVES WHEN THEY STILL HAD GOOD YEARS BEHIND THEM? Brooks has clearly lost a step. He should retire with Sapp. Majorly dissapointed in our management here!

Unreal ! There was one major assignment - sign a star DE & DT to upgrade the pass rush and the Bucs have failed...

you people need to stop whining, we now have probably the most talented young O-Line in the game, and free-agency is not over yet. More will be revealed, and we still have plenty of money.

My initial reaction was "WHO?", but as I thought about it there's nothing wrong with picking up a younger, cheaper version of K. Carter. It looks like this guy won't even produce the 3 sacks Carter did last year, but he should match Carter's ability to stop the run. Hopefully this means more time for G. Adams and G. White in passing situations.

As for other FA pass rushers, who was available that was much better than our guys? J. Smith has never had more than 9 sacks in a season and G. White had 8 in reserve duty last year. We can just play White more and save a few jillion dollars in cap space. The same goes for Odom.

The next step in upgrading the D-line pass rush should come on the interior; either from signing R. Coleman when is price drops or getting Dre Moore or Trevor Laws in the draft.

Free Agency is suppose to help fill back up positions, get younger, and maybe get a starter out of it. I think we are right on track. I think we have done a good job. We have and are spending millions. At the same time we are not wasting millions on players that might have already performed their best or their best was because of the other talented players arou,nd them.
I believe we are setting ourselves up to actually draft the best player available regardless of position.

I agree with you Horse. The Bucs are on the right track and they are NOT OVER SPENDING. The over spending by Mckay was whant got the Bucs in trouble in the first place. I guess some Buc "fans" want to go back to those days. The bucs especialyy wise not to over spend for a player past his prime or injured.
