The Bucs are wasting no time in signing players after the NFL lockout is over. They do have a lot of ground to make up becasue they are way under the cap (the new CBA demands the Bucs spend money). I wonder why they have signed a 5'9" linbacker. What's next, the Hunchback from Notre Dame? They say Monte Kiffin(his coach at Tennessee) really likes this kid and that he is fast and a sticker. I hope so. He is the same size as Sam Mills who had a twelve year carrier in the NFL. So lets give the kid a chance. He could give some energy to a young unit that is developing an indentity.
The Bucs will benefit bigtime with this new cap structure. They will have 90 guys in camp by Friday and I really expect great things this year. As a taxi driver, I make money off of these NFL games. That is why I am glad this is over and we can move forward. Lets just get a sell out once in a while.
"Mark Dominik is off and running, wasting no time getting some undrafted free agents in the fold for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
JoeBucsFan.com has Nick Reveiz in the fold. He's a middle linebacker (surprise) from Tennessee who was coached for a time by (surprise) former Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.
You look at him and can see why perhaps teams passed on him. He suffered a knee injury last year and the guy is, well, short. He's 5'9'' (Sam Mills) and weighs in at 230 (Sam Mills) and he's not that fast (4.65-4.7 in the 40).
That being said, now consider: He earned his stripes as a walk-on. He became a team captain and that's rare at a program like Tennessee. You think he's a hitter? When you're 5'9'', you'd better be a hitter (Sam Mills).
The Bucs also have Mossis Madu from Oklahoma in the field perNFL draft insider, Jared Tokarz.
Madu is a running back, 5'11'', 201, a 4.5 to 4.6 guy. Versatile enough to perform well as a kickoff return man and slot receiver.
The Bucs can bring 90 men to camp and right now—draft picks included, they're around 79 on the roster."
There is a lot of talk on Tampa sports radio about Barret Rudd being out of here. They guy is a hitter and can come up big on big plays. Personally, I believe the Bucs will sign him because they must now spend 99% of the cap. I would stay with a proven commodity and not change too much
