# The Tampa Bay Bucs failed to land defensive tackle Darrell Russell last year, when the league lifted his 18-month suspension, but their success the second time around figures to be a lot better. ESPN.com has learned that Bucs defensive line coach Rod Marinelli flew to the Bay Area on Tuesday night, and huddled with Russell just after the start of the free agency signing period. Russell doesn't have a lot of teams interested in him, especially after he again demonstrated his lack of maturity during his fling with the Redskins in the second half of 2003, but he is said to have learned an important lesson from blowing that opportunity. The educated guess here is that he ends up with the Bucs, probably on a minimum salary contract, and probably for just one year. |
Sound's a lot like what he said when he joined us, this guy was kicked out of football for 18 months almost went to jail, and then obtained another chance with us after all he went through, and the actual lesson that he learned is when we told him we wouldn't be signing him to another contract this year? he finally learned his lesson, what a joke! there is no way gibb's would have this guy around he want's guy's who want to work give 100% on the field and of good charactor this guy fit's none of the above, I don't believe it was ever a consideration, good luck tampa, don't motgage the house for this guy!
