The Buccaneers finally signed a really good football player in free agency. June played in all 16 games for the World Champion Indianapolis Colts and he made 142 tackles, had a sack, defensed a pass, forced 2 fumbles and recovered a fumble. Look for June to add speed and a sure tackler to the Buccaneers defense.
The Bucs have signed Sammy Davis to provide depth in their defensive backfield. He played in 13 games last season and he made 30 tackles and defensed 6 passes last season for the San Francisco 49ers.
The Buccaneers have signed reserve DT Lance Legree to a one year contract. The 6′1″, 300 pound Legree only played in two games last season for the San Francisco 49ers. He has played six seasons in the NFL and he’s played in 77 games and he has made 134 tackles, has 7 sacks, defensed 1 pass, forced a fumble and recovered two fumbles. If Legree is anything more than a back up for the Bucs then things have really went wrong for them in 2007.
The Bucs have signed OT Luke Petitgout to start at the tackle position opposite of Jeremy Trueblood. No one can question Petitgout’s talent but he’s coming off of a broken leg and he has a history of back problems. The soon to be 31 year old started 9 games for the New York Giants last season. Over his 8 year career, he’s played in 113 games and started 106 of them, all for the New York Giants. He will help the Bucs if he can stay healthy, and that’s a huge if.
The Bucs have signed Kevin Carter to a 4 year, $25 million dollar contract. Carter is starting to get up there in age but the Bucs were desperate for pass rush help and Carter to advantage of that and got paid. He played in all 16 games last season for the Miami Dolphins and he made 45 tackles, had 5.5 sacks, defensed a pass and recovered 2 fumbles. Look for him to be productive for a couple of seasons for the Bucs.
