Following Derrick Ward, Will the Buccaneers Cut Michael Clayton Next? That Check Could Be in the Bank.
by Craig T on Sep 1, 2010 7:36 PM EDT

Could tomorrow night be the last time we see Michael Clayton in Pewter and Red?
Derrick Ward rolled into training camp in style in a Lamborghini, an apparently safe roster option in the unproven Buccaneer backfield. A month later, he rolled out of One Buc Place behind the wheel of shame.
So, what's the message here? Clearly Mark Dominik and the front office are not afraid to admit making a bad deal and part with a player despite being due a hefty salary.
Here's looking at you, Michael Clayton.
It's been bantered about on the Buccaneer blogosphere about whether or not the albatross of a deal that Michael Clayton received in the '09 offseason would keep the front office from admitting its mistake. It's evident now that it won't. They are obviously looking more at production and potential, ala Kareem Huggins, than tenure, money, and the name on the back of the jersey, ala Derrick Ward.
The real question is: Can Clayton provide more production than the 5 or 6 other guys he's competing with?
Aqib Talib suspended for one game for violating Personal Conduct Policy
Jay Glazer's reporting that Aqib Talib got suspended for one game for his cabby-slugging incident last year.
Update: Adam Schefter is reporting that the Bucs previously appealed the sentence but the appeal was denied.
Buccaneers release Derrick Ward, Terrence Nunn; Jon Alston to IR
This means the Buccaneers now have met today's 75-man roster limit.
Derrick Ward hasn't been performing well during the preseason but looked better in his last game. He was the Bucs' biggest free agency signing in 2009, and can now be labeled a free agency bust.
This move opens the door to keep Clifton Smith, as the team has just two RBs on the roster: Cadillac Williams and Kareem Huggins. Another option would be keeping an extra fullback and using Earnest Graham as a backup running back.
Update: the Buccaneers website now says Alston was placed on IR, not released.
Cutdown days loom for fringe players

The preseason is about 75% complete at ths point, which means not only are we that much closer to meaningful football instead of the parade of unknowns, it also means that some of those unknowns are about to go back to being door-to-door salesman or stockers at the local gorcery stores.
During the season, anyone can be cut at anytime, with a few minor caveats in place. Players get released all the time. Some latch on with new teams, some never play in the league again. The pre-season, however, is the only orchestrated time when players get the ax in unison. One of those days is tomorrow, August 31st, as teams are required to go from the 80 player roster they currently sit at, down to 75.
Bengals Release WR Antonio Bryant
According to Adam Schefter via Twitter, the Bengals cut WR Antonio Bryant today without him ever seeing one regular season snap for the Bengals. They are eating around $8 million in guaranteed money. It speaks VOLUMES that the Bengals would eat that much dough and be willing to get nothing out of it so quickly. Looks like Dominik knew something that those outside the team didn't.

4 days ago: Fans remain in their seats as a lightning bolt strikes south of Raymond James Stadium during a preseason NFL football game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010, in Tampa, Fla. The game was delayed at the beginning of the second quarter. (AP Photo/Margaret Bowles)
The Bucs get their second loss of the preseason, losing to the Jaguars 19 to 13. The Bucs were without Davin Joseph and Josh Freeman, which probably hurt their offense. Still, the Bucs looked fairly good on both offense and defense, where the defensive line really stepped up and got a lot of pass pressure. Sadly the run defense was still porous and did not look good at all, and that was without Maurice Jones-Drew in the game. Similarly, the passing offense looked good, but the running offense looked really bad.
The Bucs kicked off and immediately allowed a 47-yard return by McGhee. Garrard then proceeded to add a 25-yard completion, but their drive stalled because of a good play by Quincy Black and a penalty on the Jaguars. Getting a field goal, the Bucs then got the ball back and marched down the field to get a field goal themselves. The highlight of the drive was a 53-yard pass to Mike Williams, but the drive stalled after that.

You'll be seeing plenty of this guy tonight in lieu of Josh Freeman, who is still out with the fractured thumb. This is typically the game where starters play into the 3rd quarter and you get a feel for how your team will shape up. Unfortunately, we won't get that luxury with Free riding the bench. The reps will be good for JJ given that we might see him at some point in the regular season if Freeman goes down.
Also, keep an eye on Sean Jones and Sabby, as well as Vincent and Zuttah. Those guys flip flopped spots. The defense should be at full strength tonight.
