Tampa Bay is in need of a pass rusher and the Bucs might finally have an opportunity to snag one.
The Washington Redskins just released DE Jason Taylor only a few days after signing DE Albert Haynesworth. This is something that doesn’t come as a surprise considering Taylor’s salary, age and tendency to get injured.
However, this might end up being great news for Buc fans.
We’ve been hearing from several sources since last week that this move was going to occur, and that once it did, Tampa Bay was going to heavily pursue Taylor. We hear so many rumors that we were hesitant to report it, but there might be something to it now.
It makes 100 percent sense because newly hired defensive coordinator Jim Bates coached Taylor in Miami and loves him. Tampa Bay also needs a great pass rusher who can mold Gaines Adams and Taylor would be the perfect fit.
Buc fans have been wanting a big free agent signing.
Now we’ll have to see if Taylor is big enough for Tampa Bay to pursue.

Would like to see JT as a Buc could teach Gaines a few things about effort and play in the NFL. Need a BIG DT to shore up the run defense and for depth . Maybe Sims will get in good shape and play up to his potental,still would’ve liked the BUcs to resign Haye . Besides Rudd who starts at Lb for the Bucs ? Front office has alot of work left to go . Still think they made a mistake with Brooks , he could have stayed in a reduced role .

Eric from Tampa…are you serious
with the “boating accident” comment? Try having a lot of compassion…and
a little common sense, will you. Unbelievable…

Crowder is NOT a free agent, he re-signed with the Fish last week. Get a grip!
Posted by apkflanyc, St Pete, FL on 03/03 at 12:00 PM
Yes, Yes sign J Taylor for one year minimum pay with “incentives” In addition, sign V Holliday (just released by Dolphins) & Crowder / Dolphins LB / free agent. Bucs are in need of IMPACT defensive players & all three would be a good start. PS: All played for Bates when he was in Miami.

BucAholic,
Seriously..I hear that Niko Koutouvides is Cutlers best friend…hmmm

Hey all you die hard Buc fans, why are you all still living in the past? Gruden, Allen, Brooks, and the other 4 players are gone! get over it and move on. If not, get off the bandwagon and let the remaining ‘True’ Buc fans take your spot! All this chatter about the new regime and their signing of Niko Koutouvides is crazy. How many out there heard of James Harrison 3 years ago? Did you know he also played on ‘Special Team’ in Pittsburgh before getting his shot?

Who is this Niko Koutouvides from Denver? I see he had 1 tackle & 1 assist last year. Did he play more than 1 game? Is he healthy? Denver didn’t even have him listed on their depth chart on Dec 28th?

Good point on Igor Olshansky, being available. He isn’t an end in a 4-3 but he should fit as NT, and he is relatively young and wouldn’t command huge dollars.
Taylor might be a nice 1 year addition to the defence. If healthy he can still get it done…but is he willing to do the work required to stay healthy?
Posted by Cameron, Hudson, FL on 03/02 at 11:56 PM
Is anyone even thinking that maybe Igor Olshansky is just sitting out there waiting for a contract from someone. At 6’6 300lbs he is a freak of a DE, he doesn’t have the numbers of any of the premier pass rushers but he is a heck of a run stuffer and if you look at the NFC south, they are all capable of 100+ yd rushers every game, and his presence would definitely free up Geno Hayes, or Barrett Ruud to get pressure up the gut to stuff them for a possible loss everytime, plus Igor has the speed to match with Gaines is shutting down the seams. Blue-chip talent at a bargain price.

Thats alright. F… Jason Taylor !!! Lets try and sign Tank Johnson !! We need him more then Jason anyway. We got Ward tonight so things are starting to look pretty good. Now lets sign WR Lavern. Coles and STEAL CUTLER AWAY FROM DENVER !! “GO BUCS”
Posted by Joe, Martinez, CA on 03/02 at 11:25 PM
Heard that Taylor told a SP Times reporter he wasn’t coming to Tampa. W T F? No one on defense wants to come here. Also, Nate Washington signed for less $/year than Clayton. Unbelievable.
Posted by Tyrell Epps, Ripley,TN on 03/02 at 10:02 PM
Maybe Taylor can still get a double team or two, and G. Adams will lead the league in sacks. Go figure!!!
Posted by Andy, Greencastle on 03/02 at 09:56 PM
Just got Derrick Ward signed. Now this is looking good!
Posted by Eric, tampa on 03/02 at 09:42 PM
Gruden has to be laughing his rear end off….............
Posted by cval, on 03/02 at 09:31 PM
Jason Taylor came into the league two whole years after a certain linebacker we all know. Maybe we should try to sign him too. His team just cut him after being a star for so long. His name is Derrick Brooks.
Posted by Todd, PSJ on 03/02 at 09:14 PM
Same time as signing Jason Taylor we need a DT also because we have none now. I say sign Tank Johnson and Jason Taylor. That would be a pretty solid line for a couple years anyway.
Tomorrow RB Ward will become a BUC.
Posted by help, TAMPA on 03/02 at 09:03 PM
Lets sign big man Clayton. Everybody wants him for $20+ million.
Posted by Todd, PSJ on 03/02 at 08:25 PM
Something big is going to happen tomorrow I can feel it. I say we sign a couple players tomorrow. Ward will be one of them.
Posted by billy, seffner on 03/02 at 08:11 PM
maybe doug williams will come back and play QB or even vinnie

Are the Bucs still in the running for Favre, I mean Cutler, I mean Favre….anybody?....I hope boating accidents aren’t what is scarring all the good FA’s away.
Posted by CrashBandicut, Tampa on 03/02 at 07:45 PM
It’s funny how the Bucs cut all the vets after the season ticket holders put down there down payments for next season.
Posted by Todd, PSJ on 03/02 at 07:44 PM
IT’S ALL GRUDEN’S FAULT !!!..LMAO
Posted by SmilesG, Tampa on 03/02 at 07:39 PM
$60 million under the cap and nobody wants to come to the Bucs. What’s wrong? I’m sure what they did to our proven vets had nothing to do with it. The players in the league must know the great situation in Tampa! Hopefully some miracle happens next season to change the view of our organization!!!

If I was Brooks, I’d tell these 2 Snot Nosed Brats to stick it.

If the Bucs are going to stay true with what they are doing they are not going to sign anybody in there later years. If they falter from that than the Brooks decision was all for not. They picked up some good FA’s but the defense is still lacking. I hope all the cuts don’t hurt us. We are known for are defense but if the offense produces I will be kind of happy. Defense wins games, we definitely need help there!
