      <title>Raiders looking to part ways with Asomugha?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Just
a week after bragging about having two of the top ten corners in the league
with newly acquired DeAngelo Williams and Nnamdi Asomugha, the Oakland Raiders
let out a rumor that they may not be able to afford both.  That's a rather odd move considering that as
a result of bringing in Williams, the Raiders may be forced to ship out
Asomugh...]]></description>

      <title>At quarterback, Bucs have quantity but not quality</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Currently,
there are five quarterbacks on the Buccaneers' roster: Jeff Garcia, Brian
Griese, Luke McCown, Chris Simms, and Bruce Gradkowski.  Throw the enigmatic Jake Plummer into the mix
and the team has six guys who could throw the rock to Joey Galloway and crew.

 

At
most, the Bucs will keep three quarterbacks on the roster, and on...]]></description>

      <title>Down, but not out - Paris Warren to contribute next season</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Last
year's preseason glimmer didn't come from Earnest Graham, Maurice Stovall, or
any of the other heralded &quot;up-and-comers,&quot; but rather from a kid who nobody
seemed to put any stock in: Paris Warren.

 

The
25-year old wide receiver failed to make the roster several years in a row,
spending those seasons watching NFL games from h...]]></description>

      <title>An old rumor dies, a new one is born</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Just
like every offseason, rumors are constantly floating around; most of them have
little to no actual merit, but others could actually transpire.  Of those was the rumor that Falcon's bad-boy
cornerback DeAngelo Hall might join up with his rivals in Tampa Bay.  The Bucs never gave any official word of
talking with Hall, but he seemed ...]]></description>

      <title>Welcome home Warrick Dunn</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Perhaps
the biggest news this offseason surfaced earlier this week when the team
announced that they have signed former Buccaneer running back Warrick Dunn.

 

Drafted
by the Bucs in 1997, Dunn went on to become the Rookie of the Year, rushing for
978 yards in just ten starts.  Over the
next four years with the Bucs, he would rush for ...]]></description>

      <title>Pressure's on: Bucs sign Marques Douglas</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

A
few weeks ago, the Buccaneers announced the release of two veteran defensive
ends, Greg Spires and Kevin Carter.  Both
were expected to be major contributors to a poor defensive line, but neither
met those expectations.

 

The
Bucs' front office made a move earlier in the week to replace Spires and
Carter, signing defensive end Marqu...]]></description>

      <title>Draft spotlight: Chris Williams</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Ok,
just hear me out on this one.  What if
the Bucs' selected left tackle Chris Williams with their twentieth overall pick
in the 2008 NFL Draft?

 

Yes,
that would mean that the Bucs have taken four offensive linemen in the first
two rounds in the past three years. 
However, think of it this way:

 

The
right side of the li...]]></description>

      <title>Draft spotlight: Patrick Lee</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

With
the announcement out of Detroit that the Lions agreed to terms with Brian
Kelly, the Buccaneers were slapped in the face by a glaring need: cornerback.

 

While
it was evident that the Bucs needed depth at the position entering the
offseason, it was not considered essential at the time.  However, with Kelly gone, the Bucs need all...]]></description>

      <title>Adding firepower - Bucs sign Ben Troupe</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Apparently
there is some life down at One Buc
Place.  After weeks with little news
other than a the signing of a few tackling dummies, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
have made a legitimate acquisition: tight end Ben Troupe.

 

The
former Tennessee Titan undoubtedly has some talent; drafted in the second round
in 2004, there was hype that he ...]]></description>

      <title>Word from the top</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Just
yesterday, I was ranting about the lack of involvement the Buccaneers had in
the free agent pool so far.  It turns
out, many others had the exact same thought, which in turn drove general
manager Bruce Allen to clear the air a bit about his decision to remain
passive.

 

As
expected (whether it be a cop-out or not), Allen claims t...]]></description>
