The Tampa Bay Buccaneers release DE Simeon Rice
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released DE Simeon Rice which shows how cold the NFL really is. He failed a physical because of the condition of his shoulder which was operated on in the off-season. Rice played in 8 games last year for the Bucs and he made 18 tackles, had 2 sacks, defensed 2 passes and forced 4 fumbles. Rice will go down as one of the best defensive players in Bucs history. He played 6 seasons in Tampa Bay and he played in 87 games for them. In those 87 games, Rice made 242 tackles, had 69.5 sacks, 4 interceptions, defensed 33 passes, forced 25 fumbles and recovered a fumble that he returned for a TD. Gaines Adams (the Bucs first round pick) will be under big pressure to provide a pass rush from Day #1.
