Report: Jovan Haye, John McCargo and others try out with Buccaneers

by Sander on Nov 8, 2011 12:26 PM EST

Per Aaron Wilson of Scout.com, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have held tryouts for running backs and defensive linemen. Aaron Wilson said the Bucs tried out three different running backs and six total defensive linemen, and he specifically named DTs John McCargo and Jovan Haye.

The Bucs need help at defensive tackle with Gerald McCoy and Frank Okam's injuries, and McCargo and Haye would fit the bill. John McCargo is a former first-round pick for the Buffalo Bills who spent some time with the Bucs in preseason. He looked pretty decent in the final preseason game, but didn't make the roster.

Jovan Haye is a former Buc, who had a 6-sack season for Tampa Bay in 2007. He followed that up with a rather disappointing 2008 season before signing with the Tennessee Titans, who cut him after the preseason this year. The Bucs are likely to sign one of those two players, as both could come in and play immediately.

Jovan Haye is interesting.

Any word on who the running backs are?

Dear God no- he’s performed terribly for the Pats and he’s locker room poison of the worst kind.

Fire. Greg. Olson. NOW.

Just throwing it out there.

We tried to get him once, and he fills a position of need.
