Bucs expected to sign UDFA K out of LSU to compete in camp with Connor Barth,

I don't have a problem with Barth, he's been solid while in Tampa.

TE Daniel Hardy also signed. He and Foster both got 4 yr deals.

Bucs not likely to re-sign Ruud.

I don't think it's fair to penalize Ruud here. Not his fault he had a poor D Line his entire career to play behind while in TB, I believe Rudd is a good player, and now that we have put together a D Line that can be pretty good, you kick him to the curb ? He's only 28, he and Ronde are our leader's on defense, veterans. I also don't think he'll command a bunch of money. Certainly the Bucs could afford a nice 3-4 deal to give Ruud. But apparently they will choose not to. :nonono:

As a diehard LSU fan I can tell you a lot about Jasper.

I'll sum it up in two words: clutch length

He'll have a hard time winning the job though

Well it's good to see both the players agents and the FO are focused.

There is NO time to waste.

There will be many teams that may not get their stuff together soon enough......leaving a handful of teams getting off to a fast and distant start.
