Greenseed3 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'll help out. per profootballtalk.com. : BUCS BOUNCE RICE In a move that is not a shocker but is still nevertheless surprising, the Bucaneers have cut defensive end Simeon Rice, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com. Rice was due to earn a base salary of $7.25 million in 2007, the final year of his contract. Per Glazer, the Bucs asked Rice to take a pay cut, and Rice refused. Glazer reports that Rice had checked into camp, and was plucked from dinner for a meeting at which he was informed of the decision. The move creates $7.25 million in cap space for the Bucs, which could be used to sign quarterback Daunte Culpepper, with whom the team met last week. Culpepper reportedly is seeking a one-year deal, which shouldn't be a problem for Gruden, who realizes that this one year could be his last year in Tampa. Look for Rice to be courted by the Detroit Lions, who are coached by former Bucs defensive line coach Rod Marinelli. Other possibilities (as we see it) are the Bears, Steelers, and Vikings.

leonwash29 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 we have to try and get somebody... Tank Sapp and Rice are all out there why not try a 1-2 year deal, our defense is pretty much complete with a big, playmaking dt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 You guys are crazy if you think you could plug Rice in as a DE in a 3-4. The guy might be 270 on a good day but I seriously doubt it. He would be a good OLB transformation project though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a good OLB transformation project though. We have a winner. Amazing how so many people still fail to understand how a 3-4 works. It doesn't work with 250 pound defensive ends.
