It's not a sexy move signing Zach Crockett. That would have constituted going out and making a trade. But it's a solid signing.
Crockett is a good goal-line and short-yardage back that knows Jon Gruden's intricate system pretty well, making his learning curve on the terminology less severe. I might have preferred Kevan Barlow. Actually, I would have preferred the Bucs sign both backs.
It certainly would have increased the options. Tampa Bay worked out nine players on Tuesday in anticipation of signing a player after the team announced Tuesday it would move Chris Simms to injured reserve. Who will get the contract?
Well, we can’t tell you that, at least not yet. But we can tell you, through a league source, who the nine tryouts were. Find out who they are by linking to this Bucsblitz.
