Which RBs, QBs Are On Bucs’ Radar?


Q: Hey guys, do you see the Bucs being able to acquire Michael Turner or Marion Barber? Both running backs will be free agents, though it is hard for me to believe that the Cowboys will allow Barber to hit the market.  Also, heard rumors that the Cardinals may be interested in trading/releasing Edgerrin James. Would he be a possibility? PS - Please, please, please tell me the Bucs are not thinking of Daunte. As mush as I respect the guy, he is not our answer at QB. Thanks, guys!!  Always love to read your responses.—James, Durham, N.C.

A: Turner would be of great interest when he hits the market because he has the speed in the backfield Jon Gruden craves as a change-of-pace with Graham. The Cowboys would be crazy to let Barber leave and it’s doubtful he’ll be available. Don’t see Edgerrin James coming to Tampa because he is no upgrade on Graham at this stage of his career and he won’t break a 50-yard run like Turner can. Culpepper is a project at this point, but he’s not old and Gruden might be intrigued with resurrecting Daunte’s career. He wouldn’t be much of a risk, but he hasn’t been productive since 2004 and that’s a long time in NFL terms.
