Bucs Making Strong Push For Michael Johnson

The Chicago Tribune reports the Buccaneers are making a "hard push" to sign free agent DE Michael Johnson.Johnson would be a big addition to the Bucs, bookending Adrian Clayborn in front of a secondary of Darrelle Revis, Johnthan Banks, Dashon Goldson and Mark Barron. Defensive end has been a major weakness in Tampa for years. New Bucs coach Lovie Smith and DC Leslie Frazier's defense is reliant on pressure from the front four. Johnson is an excellent rusher and run defender.
