I think you are completely wrong.

Cadillac Williams can't stay healthy and is coming back from a knee injury.
Warrick Dunn is older but he hasn't missed a game in the last 4 years.
Over that time he has averaged over a 1000 yards a year.
Last year he had an off year with 700 yards and a 3.2 ypc average but you also have to consider he was playing on a team with a horrible coach, No offensive line, No QB, and all the media distractions they had to deal with.
Tampa is paying for a guy that can get a 1000 yards if he has to and is also loved and respected by every single player in the locker room and every person in the stands.
The other notable RB on the team is Michael Bennet and he hasn't had a solid year since 2002. He is another guy that cannot stay healthy.
I like dunn, You know exactly what you are going to get from him.


I can't deny Bryant has alot of talent but he's never been a solid player. Maybe he will realize that he is one screw up from being out of the league and will focus and develop into the player he should have been, I wouldn't bet on it.
He is another Brandon Lloyd, Curtis Ennis, David Terrell, and Anthony Thomas.
The only thing he has proved is that he is a locker room cancer and has a substance abuse problem. I thought he figured things out in Cleveland...
The only plus for his is that he is going to play under Gruden. If he is going to succeed, that is that is the coach who can get him to play to his potential.

I think you forgot the leading rusher on the team, Earnest Graham. In 10 starts he had 898 yards and 10 tds.
So, Dunn just joined a backfield that is already crowded and hungry for touches.
1- Earnest Graham
2- Michael Pittman
3- Cadillac Williams (will be back in October - November)
4- Michael Bennett
5- Warrick Dunn

They are going to carry ALL these guys???


In antonio bryant...he's cheap and wanting to show what he can do. He could be a good pickup...he could be a bad pickup. I am thinking he'll be a good one given that the Bucs need WR's and he will likely get a lot of touches.

He's a quality back-up once Caddy williams goes down(and he will go down). I think he'll be okay.

Out of that list, I would cut Bennett and/or Pittman. Maybe keep Pittman around to return kicks, but if Cadillac won't be back until mid(ish)-season then may carry 5 and then waive 1 when he's healthy.

As is, I'd take Dunn over Pittman or Bennett.

I think its a good signing, having two backs is important these days, and if whomever said Cadi isnt coming back until oct/nov then they need him even more so. i think hes still a good back, his team sucked last year.

And the real question is, will he give me that platinum chain he always wears!!!

well, in theory that would work...but they are all signed to play right now.
