ANother reminder of how much fortune plays a role in the career of these athletes. My best wishes for Storer...

Keep fighting and working through it buddy. We'll have an eye out for you next season...

That's really too bad. I liked this kid alot. Hopefully he'll be back next year after he heals up. Best wishes buddy,

he was put on IR, NOT released. its on the team website.

Too bad Lorenzo Neal signed with the Raiders just a couple weeks ago.

Tough break for Storer. He had a promising future.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did NOT sign another FB. I have a feeling they are probably looking at using Ward and Graham on the field together alot.

According to Buccaneers.com Storer was placed on IR, and not released.

any confirmation on wether he was put on IR or released?

looks like old Pat Yasinskas f@#ked up

Who cares, the only reason this guy even played last year was because Askew was injured. He wouldn't have seen the field this year with Askew and Cook, heck even Graham would've been in at FB before him especially since Ward is here to hold down the HB spot.

um, iprock22...

Cook wasn't even on the team last year until Storer got injured. Storer was #2 man on the depth chart and Cook had been outright released before the season started. He only stayed on the roster into this year because Storer never returned before the offseason. The kid was also dynamite on special teams for us. THAT'S why we care about this story.

Ummm, laportej....

First off I realize that Cook wasn't on the team until Storer went down that why you will see that I refered to Askew's injury and nothing about Cook. I did however say that with Askew and Cook on the roster, Storer's overall chances of making the team are slim to none...both of afore mentioned FBs are better than him...WAY better than him.

Also to say that he was dynamite on special teams (like a Larry Izzo) is a bit of a stretch. Was he solid? Perhaps. But you can always find solid special teams guys, lots of undrafted FAs and third tear guys tend to be willing to put their bodies on the line(which is what ST is all about) and play hard on special teams just for the chance to stick with an NFL team, they can be found much easier than probably any other position in the NFL. I'd rather drop him and find a guy that can hold up and not get injured as much AND provide depth at a position where we need it (for example Koutovidies is a DYNAMITE ST player and provides depth at a position where its needed, therefore getting optimum usage from that roster spot). We don't need 3 FBs especially an injury prone one who ONLY plays special teams and is average at it at best.

That's why I said who cares. Not because I don't wish him the best, I hope he gets healthy and gets another chance somewhere else....I just don't really care that a FRINGE player who hasn't really done much of anything got released from my team. Make sense?
