Buccaneers Re-sign Jermaine Phillips And Jerramy Stevens


Tampa Bay Buccaneers have annouced the team has re-signed S Jermaine Phillips and TE Jerramy Stevens.

The signing of both players are significant for Tampa Bay, which has made re-signing its own players priority number one this offseason.

Phillips was Tampa Bay’s starting safety last season, and after visiting Seattle and San Diego, he decided to remain a Buccaneer.

Meanwhile, Stevens was arguably Tampa Bay’s best pass-catching tight end last season. Tampa Bay arguably has the best pass-catching tandem in the NFL with Stevens and Kellen Winslow.

We need a receiver from somewhere. Anyone else getting feeling that our D is comming from the draft?.....

Oh when Gruden and Allen brought in Stevens all the idiots out there cried about the bad character people that evil Gruden was bringing in. Where are you now, idiots?

Winslow and Stephens on the field at the same time could create real matchup problems for defenses, but where does this leave Alex Smith?  Trade bait, perhaps?  Glad to see Jermaine Phillips is back.  Let’s see if he can stay healthy.

I have a feeling that there will be some trades going on one of the tight ends for example Alex Smith’s job will be in danger of roster spot so they might trade him for a late-round pick so never know

I LOVE the Jermaine Phillips signing!
I think the Bucs will use Alex Smith in trade talks. I except they will make a least one more trade before or during the draft. The Bucs still need a CB, LB, speed WR, and a QB.

This is good, we needed both of these.  You need to fix the D line to try and stop the leaks, or more like a breach in the dam!  We have lost one D lineman and you have not replaced plus no new additions to the very porous group of guys that were terrible last year!  Just do it!

He’s a big mismatch.  As long as he catches what is thrown to him, he’s a quality player who seemed to get along well with the rest of our team.  We can put a TE in the slot, if we can’t get another WR.

Thank goodness.  We’re going to have one great set of TEs.  I guess Stevens or Winslow will be in the slot some in our newly super-sized O.  Phillips keeps us from having another need.  CB and DT along with a QB and we’ll be ready to draft a WR to fill most of our most serious needs.  I guess we’ll probably need another LB from somewhere.  If you can’t get some good WRs, you might as well have 2 good receiving TEs to go with the better blockers-Smith and Gilmore.  Let’s hope that Clayton (mainly) and Stevens improve their hands somehow before the season.

I understand Phillips, he is a good run defender, but Stevens?  Signing Stevens makes no sense to me.
