hmmm leaves one team less likely to take a back in the Draft... that #34 pick may be a HARD choice when it comes up... if there are a few quality CBs, DTs, and RBs its gonna be a tough call which direction to go.
 
I know some won't agree but I think the Bucs running game just got better. I think Pittman would have been a good short term solution combined with Smith. I'm not sure if this makes Alstott more expendable being on the trading block.

Atleast this eats up a little more cap for the Bucs, but we are definately going to have to stop the run in our division now.
 
I've read I think on ESPN.com that the Bucs want a first round pick for him. No wonder why they are getting no offers.
 
alstott doesnt fit what this team wants to do for the future. they have their veteran back.

and pittman is a very servicable back. he can tote the rock.

but what a character switch -- dunn to pittman.
 
but if the bucs keep alstott cant they use him as a TE

NO NO NO!!!! Larry I DON'T want Alstott!!! I just meant this pick up would lower the price for what they will take for Alstott I think he's over rated as hell... I don't want to see him NEAR a Panther's uniform unless he's washing them.
 
Alstott will be gone from Tampa, without question. He's due to count $4mil against the cap this year, and the only cap hit they will take from his outright realease is the remaing original signing bonus around $1mil.

Alstott has redone his contract so many times, it's just to that point now. I think his normal salary for the year would be around $1.4mil, which is in the bigger years of the contract.

So while he's been so called over-rated, he really hasn't been over-paid. He's an exciting powerful runner, and basically my favorite Buc. He's been all heart for that team, and a real team first guy.

Life is good though, now we won't have to face Alstott or Williams.
