Tampa Visit Not On Houshmandzadeh’s Itinerary

TAMPA – Another hot rumor has been churned out of the NFL mill, but this one seems to have false legs.

Though it’s been reported that T.J. Houshmandzadeh will visit the Bucs on Sunday, The Tribune has learned that a stop in Tampa is not on the wide receiver’s itinerary.

The Bucs are among the teams that have expressed interest in Houshmandzadeh, but Houshmandzadeh has yet to mention the Bucs as one of the teams he’d be interested in joining.

He has mentioned a desire to play for either Seattle, Minnesota, the Giants or the Eagles, and he’s expected to make a decision on one of those teams on Sunday.

The Bucs are in the hunt for other receivers, including Pittsburgh’s Nate Washington and there is a strong chance the Bucs re-sign Michael Clayton, who is currently visiting other teams in an attempt to determine his value.

If they just resigned Micheal Clayton…..oh my gosh….i think I might actually think about not being a Buc fan. Why in the heck would we resign him and cut Ike Hilliard, who was twice as reliable? Geez….and don’t gimme that crap about Clayton being in Jon’s doghouse, he earned his spot in the doghouse. We were depending on him to be our No. 1 receiver going into his second year and the guy flat out lays an egg and never returns to his rookie form

Okay you crybabies, shut your pie-holes. You sound like a bunch of women on the rag. You’re sickening. First, the new offense is going to be run-heavy with long ball passing game. Clayton is about the best blocking WR in the game and we will need that. Second of all, look at the distances on his rookie year. He was much better when we played long ball under Johnson. The draft only features 20 WR that ran a 4.3 - 4.49 at the Combine. We can get a speed guy there. We need Chris Canty more than anything. Try to write something positive and quit whining, you pushies. (That’s how Sean Connery would say it.)

You can’t fix Stupid!  First you disseminate the team and then you don’t replace them. No FA signings.  Resigning Clayton of all people.  Can you imagine how the draft will be screwed up?

The Tampa Bay Buccanneers will finish 2-14 this year. 

60 Million under the cap and you re-sign one of the worst receivers in the NFL (Clayton) then you sign Winslow?  Dont you need someone to throw it to him?  Dont you need a running back?  Dont you need a defensive line, linebackers, saftey? 

Buc’s, you just lost 4 season ticket holders.

If this team is going to be run heavy and long passes we are going to need a GREAT(not good) punter. The only long passes last season were made outside the pocket by Garcia just before he got pummeled. We will also need about 12 running backs to make it 16 games.
