TAMPA – Chris Draft’s visit with the Bucs has been rescheduled yet again.
Draft, the Panthers free-agent linebacker who was slated to visit the Bucs today, is now scheduled to come in Friday morning. There’s a chance, though, that Draft never gets here.
Draft spent part of Wednesday visiting with the St. Louis Rams and that visit has spilled over into today.
We’re not saying that visit is going to result in Draft signing with the Rams, but when visits get extended it’s often a sign the team arranging the visit is interested in more than idle chit-chat.
Interest in Draft and a lot of other second-tier free agents is starting to pick up, though, so Draft may consider it to be in his best interest to make several visits. If that’s the case, he’ll probably be here, as scheduled, Friday.
On another front we’re hearing that Cooper Carlisle is the top offensive lineman on what’s left of the Bucs free-agent wish list, so there’s a chance the former Gator will finally make it to town as well.

today was the pro day @ g-tech for c.j….i have to imagine it was a little more impairative that gruden et.al was in attendance as opposed to scmoozing a “second tier” free agent lb.
