Bucs Sign Ben Troupe! Re-sign The Candy Man!

In a bit of excellent news, the Bucs came to terms with TE Ben Troupe who went to Florida and was drafted in 2004 by the Titans. The Titans really failed to use him properly, and he should be an big time target for Garcia. Troupe is big, has good hands, and is pretty fast for a guy his size. He can block, but his receiving skills are much better. With him and Smith, the Bucs will be able to send to potent receiving targets into the middle of the field out of the two TE sets. Should greatly add to the explosiveness of this offense, and Troupe doesn't have the off-field issues that saddled Stevens.

The Bucs also re-signed Sammy Davis, at least giving the Bucs the same secondary they had for most of last season. The signing cerainly doesn't hurt, and it gives the Bucs some options going forward. I still expect the Bucs to pick a corner in this year's draft, as the CB position is pretty deep.

Now if the Bucs can just address the Wideout spot...
