The Buccaneers have signed safety Eugene Wilson to a 1-year, $1.8 million dollar contract.  Wilson played in 11 games for the Patriots last season and he made 31 tackles, defensed 3 passes and intercepted a pass that he returned for a TD.  Wilson has now played in 62 games in his NFL career and he has made 254 tackles, defensed 28 passes, forced 2 fumbles and intercepted 10 passes including one of which that he returned for a TD.  This was another good signing by the Bucs who appear to have a money tree growing in their backyard.

The Buccaneers have signed DE Marques Douglas to a 4-year contract.  He played in all 16 games for the 49ers last season and he made 72 tackles, defensed 3 passes and had 3 sacks.  Douglas has now played in 88 games in his NFL career and he has made 339 tackles, defensed 10 passes, has 19 sacks and he has forced 6 fumbles.  This was a solid signing for the Bucs.

The Bucs have signed WR Antonio Bryant.  The 27-year old Bryant was out of the NFL last season but he could give the Bucs speed opposite Joey Galloway to really open up the downfield passing game in 2008.  Bryant has played in 77 games in his NFL career and he has caught 250 passes for 3,837 yards (15.3 avg) with 19 TD grabs.  This was a good low risk/high reward signing for the Bucs.

The Buccaneers have brought back RB Warrick Dunn on a 2-year, $6 million dollar contract.  The 33-year old Dunn played in 16 games last season with the Falcons and he carried the ball 227 times for 720 yards (3.2 ypc) with 4 TD runs and he also caught 37 passes for 238 yards (6.4 avg).  Dunn has now played in 166 games in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 2,483 times for 10,181 yards (4.1 ypc) with 47 TD runs.  He also has caught 463 passes for 4,009 yards (8.7 avg) with 15 TD grabs.  This could signal the possible end of Cadillac Williams’ stay with the Bucs as he will likely be behind both Ernest Graham and Warrick Dunn on the depth chart.

The Buccaneers have signed TE Ben Troupe to a 2-year contract.  Troupe played in 16 games for the Titans last season and he caught 5 passes for 47 yards (9.4 avg).  He has now played in 55 games in his NFL career and he has caught 106 passes for 1,056 yards (10.0 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  Troupe has the reputation of being a good receiver but his results have been average to this point in his career.
