LB Cato June Signs

In another shrewd move by Allen, Cato June, Pro-Bowl LB from Indy, was signed to a deal similar to that of Ian Gold a couple of years ago, allowing the Bucs a chance to see if they can upgrade their LB corps without breaking the bank. If he elevates his tackling, and continues to play with the same speed and tenacity he has for Indy, then the Bucs will have themselves another top notch LB. June will battle it out for the Sam spot. Between him and Winborn, one of the two is likely to become Brooks' successor, while the other will become a dominate force at the Sam spot, should both be deemed valuable enough to keep long term.

This is just another example of why I felt that the Bucs have one of the better front offices in the league. They are making sensible deals for players of solid, or better, talent, and not over-committing themselves long term. The Bucs are simply loading up with talent, and, one way or another, we'll see this team get better.
