I was unaware that we had extended an offer to him.

This is a good move for Tampa. I think Leftwich has a great chance at winning the starting job.

I wouldn't call it like this necessary, but I'm glad this didn't happen b/c the Haters of Jason Campbell (not associated with the Cult of Colt) would have come out in force.

Thank goodness. Leftwich would have been a terrible fit.

Starter: Campbell
Back-up: Brennan
3rd String: JP Lossman

Collins will be cut to save some $ for a solid veteran FA that becomes available after the draft. Watch.

We had not good man, but we all know DS and he did bring him in for a work out. If there was any thoughts in DS's mind about possibly bringing Leftwich in .....it has been expunged. <---and this is why I'm excited. We did not need to bring in another QB who has not been in a WCO but also having to learn Zorn's system when we already have 3 QB's who have been in the system for 1 yr. Thankfully if there was any question....Tampa saved us from ourselves. It's a shame Tampa is my other favorite team.

How in the world can you like both Washington and Tampa? There have been several physical playoff appearances between the two teams. It just does't make sense.

I grew up in DC so I'm a natural Skins fan. I have family in Tampa and always liked the original uniforms. lol. Then they picked up Gruden whome I knew would be good for the team.....which equaled SB. lol. Even though it was with another coach's picked players. I don't know I just always liked both. It's sad that it has been only just within the last 6-7 yrs that for whatever reason Tampa has become a rival. Prior it was like any other game ....like playing SF 49ers now but was a big rivalry back in the 80's. Playing Tampa was like playing the Lions. Just another team you were expected to beat.

Now that the Bucs have Leftwich, I'd keep an eye on the Redskins possibly going after Josh Johnson-who could be traded or simply let go this summer.

He's a West Coast offense guy they showed a lot of interest in last year at this time, and probably would have taken him had he been there in the 6th round instead of Colt (Bucs took him in the 5th I believe).

You're probably wondering, what's the advantage of adding JJ when you've already got Colt? Well who knows really, but I think it's a real possibility.

Of course, all this is a moot point if the Bucs do the sensible thing and just let Griese go.
