TJ is likely out for the year:TE Williams Out For Season
By: Jim Flynn and Scott Reynolds
June 27, 2006 2:30PM EST
Copyright 2006 PewterReport.com
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end T.J. Williams likely will miss the entire 2006 season after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon during Thursday’s mandatory mini-camp practice at One Buccaneer Place, team sources have told PewterReport.com.
The 6-foot-2, 253-pound Williams entered the NFL with the Bucs in April as a sixth-round pick out of North Carolina State.
Williams is the second Bucs player to sustain a season-threatening injury over the past three weeks. In mid-June, quarterback Luke McCown suffered a partially torn ACL during a voluntary workout at One Buc Place.
On Monday morning, PewterReport.com witnessed McCown walking into One Buc Place on crutches with a heavily bandaged knee brace, which suggests he has already underwent knee surgery.
The Buccaneers have not placed Williams on injured reserve, although they likely will do that before the team reports to training camp on July 27. In the meantime, the Bucs have six healthy tight ends – Alex Smith, Anthony Becht, Dave Moore, Mark Anelli, Boone Stuz and Tim Massaquoi – on their offseason roster.
Tampa Bay remains hopeful that McCown, who likely will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, will be able to play at some point during the 2006 regular season.
Not the start we are looking for...

"PewterReport.com is hearing that Tampa Bay and quarterback Jay Fiedler are close to reaching an agreement for the former Miami and NY Jets signal caller to become a Buccaneer as early as Thursday morning. PewterReport.com broke the story about Fiedler's visit to One Buc Place a week ago, and both Fiedler and the team did not hide their mutual interest in each other.
If Fiedler is signed as a replacement for injured QB Luke McCown, as we suspect he will be, he will give the Bucs an experienced, high character QB that can not only back up Chris Simms, but Fiedler can also be a good mentor for the young lefty, too.
Stay tuned to PewterReport.com for more on the Bucs-Fiedler situation. "
-FYI Gruden coached Fiedler for one year in Philly

I think he'll be the #2 next year.The Bucs are developing an offense centered around Cadillac, and part of that is getting a pair of big blocking receivers with sneaky speed and great hands.

Bucs are close to a deal with Barber on contract extension.
On his radio show today he said he feels like the deal will get done very soon, and that both sides really want to get it done.
Not sure of details, but I imagine it is something around 3yrs/etc, that would allow him to retire a Buccaneer.

I'm really not sure. I imagine he will want an extension, but I think they may opt to let him be replaced before Barber. I still believe Barber can play another 2+ seasons as a solid corner. Even if/when he loses a step, we all know how friendly and forgiving the T2D is on corners not named Tim WansleyMy main question is what will BK do if Ronde gets an extension? Will he also want one?
.I am hearing rumors from One Buc that Alstott is contemplating retirement. Anyone's thoughts?

And Stovall
Joseph, Bucs Near DealPosted July 27, 2006 by Roy Cummings
2:20 p.m.: Although Davin Joseph has yet to report, indications are that the Bucs’ first-round pick could be in the fold for Friday’s first day of workouts.
Joseph’s agent, Ben Dogra, took a break from negotiations to report the sides are close to an agreement.
‘’We are very close,’’ Dogra said in a text message.
Ira Kaufmans article today in the Tampa Trib ,Pittman states Boston was a good teamate in Arizona and went to bat for him when he came here to workout.Went on to say that hes mellowed out a lot and now has a family and really seems focused and has a goal to get back to the way he was when he had 1550 yards and was unstoppable and he really likes what hes seeing of Boston right now.

Still rehabilitating a shoulder injury that required surgery last year, Fiedler said he's not 100 percent yet, and isn't sure how much he'll be able to do at Friday's first practice, July 28: "We're basically going to go by feel and just kind of see how it goes day to-day. I'm going to go out there and push it a little bit and see where it's at."

Wasn't he expected to be cut anyway?Anyone have plans to hit up training camp? I'm thinking of going there before I head back up to FSU, and hang out with a few UCF friends while I'm in orlando.

Really? I heard that Gradkowski was throwing as many INTs as completions and Gruden had been riding his ### all day.Also heard the same about Gessner. 6-4, 215... fast.... hell of a UFA pickup... good PS candidatePR says some dude named Chas Gessner is a real sleeper. Reminds them of JJ. Fonotui looked good, so did Gradkowski/ Simms/ Boldin/ Nece.

Have you told your buddy he's a pansy yet? Good grief....what kind of doofus decides that waking up at 6:50 on a Saturday trumps getting a little sun?SLoDMy buddy wants to go to the AM session because the PM will be too hot. That requires a 7 am departure time. On a Saturday.

Well, he was a talent pick with noted condition.... he didn't pan out. Can't blame them for trying. If he did, he'd have been a stud.They said he had a muscle virusI don't think they could have predicted that. Maybe it had something to do with him sucking

Went to camp today. Tonnnnns of people there. Unbelievable.
-Boston didn't practice, just stood on the sidelines. No idea what that's about. Probably hurt again.
-Clayton looked pretty slow and dropped a few balls.
-Simms is most definitely in charge out there. He's barking at players and all the offensive players were huddled around him while he was talking, off to the side of the practice that was going on. Very excited about him this year.
-Earnest Graham switched his number to 34 for Sowell. Took me a few to figure out who was making those nice runs.
-Gruden was lining up at DB and *attempting* to cover the wideouts. Pretty funny. Boy is he animated out there.
-Galloway absolutely smoked Bolden a few times on deep routes. Killed him right off the line. He then slowly walked back to the sideline, laid his helmet down and sat there for 10 minutes before he moved again. To say he's taking it easy out there is an understatement. Brooks too. I don't think he actually moved. Nor should he I guess.
All I can think of for now. It was fun, but ridiculously crowded.

Who has been running with the first unit OL?
2nd unit?
Seems like we have training camp battles at every position along the OL.
LT - Davis/Tucker - expect Davis to win
LG - Buenning/Fonoti - expect Buenning to win, but hearing lots of good news from Fonoti
C - Wade/Mahan - tossup, who knows, probabl go with the younger guy
RG - Terry/Joseph - think this is Terry's job to lose, but starting Joseph all year would be a good investment
RT - Walker/Trueblood - again, think this is Walker's job to lose, but wouldn't be surprised if they went with Trueblood.
It is only Simms's blindside
Why do we have the dumbest local sports reporters?
http://www.tbo.com/sports/bucs/MGBJ5SI7AQE.html
WLB - Brooks/Winborn
MLB - Quarles/Ruud
SLB - Nece/Cooper
Really like the depth at LB though this year. Seems like the Bucs got deeper everywhere.

I think you can realistically expect 33-3500 and 22-25TDs. Beyond that would be a bit liberal IMO.Solid pickup late though, as I honestly don't see guys like Culpepper, Bledsoe and Delhomme doing much better, if at all, and Simms can be had about 5 rounds later. Going as QB23 as opposed QB8-10 as aforementioned.
