Freeman, Bucs players happy to see LT Donald Penn return
Bucs Beat | St. Petersburg Times — Count quarterback Josh Freeman among the most relieved players to see left tackle Donald Penn join practice Saturday morning.

I got to talk to him a little bit. It's great to see Donald back. It's an awesome deal. It works out great. We're going to have him for all of camp and I'm really excited to get more work with Donald.'' Center Jeff Faine, who had warned an extende...

Bucs Beat | St. Petersburg Times — Kellen Winslow's sixth knee surgery will not prevent him from practicing with his teammates when training camp begins Saturday. But the Bucs plan to watch Winslow closely and may limit his workload, especially during two-a-days. Winslow led the Bucs in receptions (77), receiving yards (884) and touchdown catches (5) in his first season in Tampa Bay. He has spent the past month working out with quarterback Josh Freeman. Winslow was not able to fully participate in the Bucs' Organized Team Acitivities and mandatory minicamp. General manager Mark Dominik s...
Tampa Bay Buccaneers July 29, 2010Bears' position breakdown: Safety
Bears Blog | Chicago Breaking Sports — Chris Harris strips the ball from Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman last season. (David T. Foster/MCT)By Brad Biggs After yet another season filled with turnover at safety, the Bears are hopeful that the re-acquisition of veteran Chris Harris and the selection of Major Wright will buoy the position for the first time since Mike Brown became brittle. The Bears traded reserve linebacker Jamar Williams to the Carolina Panthers for Harris nearly three years after dealing him away to the NFC South club. Carolina was going to release Harris if it couldn't find a trading partner and the Bears ste...

Tampa Bay Buccaneers July 17, 2010Buccaneers pick up 5th year option on Freeman's contract
Buc 'Em — Buccaneers pick up 5th year option on Freeman's contract The Pewter Report is reporting that Tampa Bay has picked up the 5th year option for quarterback Josh Freeman. If the option had not been picked up, Freeman would have been a free agent after just his fourth year. This also means that Freeman will receive a little more guaranteed money on his five year, $36M contract. As we all know, a player can be cut at any time in the NFL but it's nice to see that the front office has a lot of faith in our young QB. The article goes on to state that while many players on vacation, Freeman has be...

- Gerald McCoy not shying away from lofty goals Bucs Beat | St. Petersburg Times Bucs first-round pick Gerald McCoy was all smiles as he took the stage for his press conference fresh off signing a blockbuster $63 million rookie contract. But the guy with the ever-present smile got quite serious when he began talking about his lofty career goals. "The money is there, but like I always tell my family, "The money is for you guys,' " McCoy said. "My goal is to be the best football player I can be. I want to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to be in the Pro Bowl. I want to be known as one of the best ever. That's what I want to do. "By doing that, the mon...

- Injury to Giants S Chad Jones influenced Penn to sign a long-term deal with Bucs Bucs Beat | St. Petersburg Times Injuries are like little assassins that hide behind every door for NFL players, whose contracts are not guaranteed. If Donald Penn needed a reminder of that, he got it this summer when LSU rookie safety Chad Jones severely injured his left leg in a terrifying car crash June 25 in New Orleans. Jones underwent several surgerical procedures on his leg and ankle and spent a month at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The Giants waived Jones with the intention of putting him on the reserve/non-football injury list. Penn, the Bucs starting left tack...
- Raheem Morris gives Barrett Ruud some perspective Bucs Beat | St. Petersburg Times Donald Penn wasn't the only restricted free agent who thought he'd been treated unfairly by the Buccaneers. Linebacker Barrett Ruud has, for more than a year, been seeking a long-term contract extension, only to be rebuffed again. He did not hold out, as Penn did, but Ruud certainly would be among those who would have a reaction to Penn's extension. Knowing that, coach Raheem Morris went to Ruud preemptively and informed him ahead of Penn's signing. Morris also attempted to give Ruud a little perspective. "I went straight to Barrett," Morris said. "I said, ‘...
