The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Byron Leftwich to a 2-year contract.
Honestly, we should have seen this coming. Byron was good enough to start somewhere in this league, and he proved that last year in the games when he filled in for Ben as a reserve. He should have been one of the top QB’s on the market, but with Matt Cassel and Jay Cutler in play, he got left to the side until those two got things sorted out.
Best of luck to you Byron in your new venture.
Sadly, Tampa has lost a lot of talent over the last few years, as was evidenced by their big drop-off at the end of last season (I guess “crash” could also be an applicable term). The Bucs need to go out and get Byron some help in the draft, or else they’re going to end up at the bottom of the NFC South next year. No, this won’t be Byron’s fault. It will be the fault of a defense that gave up over 30 points in 3 of the last 4 games after only allowing one team to break 25 (Kansas City with 27) in the first 12 games.
