DT John McCargo signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

PrintThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers apparently decided to sign defensive tackle John McCargo as Gerald McCoy's replacement today, per Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune. McCargo was brought in for a try-out today alongside former Buc Jovan Haye, and apparently the Bucs liked McCargo more.
John McCargo is a former first-round pick for the Buffalo Bills, and he spent part of the preseason with the Buccaneers. I thought he looked decent in his final preseason game. The Bucs could plug him in immediately, which would be a big plus for them.
In related news, Ian Rapoport is reporting that Albert Haynesworth will be released by the New England Patriots. That doesn't say a lot of good things about Haynesworth, but the Bucs should at least contemplate bringing him in. There's no real downside to doing so at this point. But, that won't happen. The Bucs don't bring in 30-year-old reclamation projects. Certainly not those who have been cut twice within one year.
UPDATE: According to Pewter Report the Bucs also added RB Nic Grinsby and DT Swanson Miller to their practice squad.

Haynesworth is almost tragic
A couple years ago he was the preemptive force at defensive tackle. Unblockable, immovable, double teams didn’t matter. Now he can barely pass a conditioning test and can’t stay on a team. Skill without will is like a Ferrari without keys. Sad.

I was listening to a Patriots talk radio show just now
They made the fair point that if Belichek can’t get him motivated, likely no one ever will.
Fire. Greg. Olson. NOW.
Dude groped a waitress
Plead no contest. He has to stay out of trouble for 18 months or else. And he hasn’t even faced Goodell yet. Why are we even CONSIDERING him?
Yugly.
May I point out that Belichek has a tendency to cut people pretty abruptly.
Just because they cut him doesn’t mean he’s washed up.
He likes to "cut bait" and move on...
and I still think somebody will get a potentially great DT. Just needs the correct situation with a good players coach that can relate to him.
I'm a fan of cutting bait too when the time is right.
Belichek is just in a position where he makes himself more important that anyone else in the organization. Their personnel decisions haven’t been as good since all the other guys took the money to go to other teams.
I’m also curious to evaluate Billy Boy once he no longer has Brady. If he drops Brady and wins 3 more SBs with Ryan Mallet then sure thing.
Very well said!!

I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I saw that we signed McCargo
Not because I think he’s the end all and be all, but because he’s NOT Albert Friggin’ Haynesworth. I was just driving and heard about the Haynesworth cut. I immediately started saying to myself “Oh no. Oh God no. Dominik DON’T DO IT!!!!”
Fire. Greg. Olson. NOW.

I think there's a good chance Haynesworth signs somewhere, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was here.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Nah, he'll probably end up in the black hole of all reclamations....Oakland.
Still waiting for the day that the NFL comes back to LA...
It would be out of character for Dom.
He’s had plenty of nothing to lose, shot in the dark opportunities on players who have proved in the past they can play but are at the end of career or are ‘headaches’ and always passes.
Formerly UNFNole
Perhaps Raheem can find the light switch...
because that monster of a player is still in there somewhere. Despite all of that stuff, Albert Haynesworth has an amazing upside, and we have very little to lose at this point.
Having the King of Reclamation, Bill Belichick, give up is not a very good indicator.
I'd certainly be willing to work him out.
I’m also glad he decided to pass up our offer for more money to go to the Redskins.
I dont have a problem with bring in Haynesworth... Were bad, how much worse could we be with him in there?
Not much, thats for sure…..

What about Frank Okam's calve? Is he healed?
Hopefully Frank and Roy will up their game too.
Nic Grisby is apparently really fast

According to the Bleacher Report, the Bucs just claimed Haynesworth off of waivers.I
I am very surprised…
