Longtime No Howad

this blurb reminded me of the "they'll do something to keep Howard, sign the rookies, and renegotiate other contracts and sat under the cap" talk...

AP reports the Bucs would like to sign a veteran receiver such as ex-Giant WR Ike Hilliard or an experienced cornerback. But they are virtually out of salary cap room, HC Jon Gruden said. "I think we had $18,000 of room at one point, so you can't sign anybody," he said. "We're out of business. The woodshed is closed. " Bruce (Allen, the general manager) has taken my cell phone away. He won't let me call anyone, he won't let me accept any calls from anyone." The Bucs are about $1.3-million under the salary cap, according to ESPN.com. But in order to sign draft picks, they will need to clear about $6-million.
