The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have expressed interest in Baltimore Ravens free agent cornerback Corey Ivy, who played for the Bucs from 2001-04. Ivy, who has spent the last three seasons with the Ravens, may visit the Bucs soon.



 
The Buccaneers have expressed interest in signing several free agent cornerbacks.

That includes Baltimore Ravens free agent CB Corey Ivy, who played for the Buccaneers from 2001-04.

Ivy, 31, began his pro career with the New England Patriots in 1999. After his four-year tenure in Tampa Bay ended, Ivy played one season with the St. Louis Rams (2005) and has spent the past three seasons with the Ravens.

The 5-foot-9, 190-pound Ivy saw significant playing time as a nickel corner with the Ravens. He has three career interceptions, but Ivy's biggest contributions have come as a special teams ace.

In addition to Ivy, the Bucs have expressed serious interest in free agent cornerbacks Jamar Fletcher (Cincinnati) and Jabari Greer (Buffalo).

The Bucs may attempt to line up visits with Ivy, Fletcher and Greer in the next few days.

In the meantime, Tampa Bay still is interested in re-signing CB Phillip Buchanon, who became a free agent on Feb. 27.

at least we have all our draft picks oh no that's right shucks well who needs a second round draft pick when all the GOOD free agents are visiting everyone else we have the best te in the business ok and we need a lot of bondo for these holes we left in our team so no more good free agents and minus a coveted draft pick in the second round that may have been enough to grab a franchise QB now our cover is blown we have no knew talent and a week draft coming well no second rounder why not just get rid of all our picks and have no knew free agents maybe guys will play both sides and special teams to

seriously lets at least sign our own guys rather than getting a lesser player ivy is not as good as p buchanon period and get haye back do something or has everything already been done i'm not buying that is is the GM fault agents know there not gonna get any money from the bucs plain and simple or else they would be waiting to see what tampa would offer thats the fact these guys know that tampa doesn't want to pay anyone so there not even waiting to see if Tampa is interested

If we resigned Will Allen then (and why sign your special teams caption for only one year?) and I'm glad we did, then

WHY DON'T WE SIGN SS JERMAINE PHILLIPS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR A DECENT CONTRACT??

The Bucs are a different beast with Phillips in the box and coming in like a missle blowing up anything that's carrying the football. This guy is worthy of having a handsome longterm deal with the Bucs more than WR Clayton (who has had more injuries and hasn't had as much success as Phillips), Will Allen or anyone else we may have signed from our team.
I don't get it. Phillips has a knack for the ball and has become a total menace for anyone in the defensive backfield.

SHOW JERMAINE PHILLIPS SOME LOVE.
