Barber Signed/Allen Injured

Didn't get to comment on this stuff yesterday, but Ronde Barber signed on the dotted line for the deal that everyone was reporting. That should pretty much lock him up for the rest of his career, and allow him to retire a Buccaneer. Now the Bucs can turn their attention to other players who need to be addressed long term.

On what was a good day, Will Allen had his thumb examined (fractured), then surgically repaired. He's listed as being out indefinitely, but the Bucs have been hopeful that he could return for the August 11th Preseason opener against the Jets. The Bucs don't have a lot of proven depth behind him, but this may give some of the other players a chance to step up and show what they have. Let's just hope Allen recovers quickly.
