Good news for us about the Bucs

HELP!
The Buccaneers need to clear about $6 million worth of salary-cap space, and they're targeting three of their highest profile players for help. The Bucs have asked linebacker Derrick Brooks, defensive end Simeon Rice and defensive tackle Anthony McFarland to restructure their contracts. None of the players has yet to agree to do it, so Tampa Bay is going to have some work to do in the next week or so to clear enough space to sign their draft class. Watch the Bucs; there's going to be news coming out of there in the days to come.

In a previous article, Derrick Brooks said he would not cut his salary cause he has done it before to help the team. Looks like that Superbowl run is finally costing them. they are already cutting Todd Steussie, which will further deplete their line. If they cut Booger, do we go after him? I say hell yes. He and Smith will be anxious to play them twice a year. But what if they do the unthinkable and cut Brooks? They more than likely won't but what if? He does play WLB but should we get him or try? I'd have to say yes again. That kind of vet leadership we just do not have for our D.
