Tampa Bay Buccaneers free agency news, rumors: day four live blog

17:15 p.m.: Big news hit. The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Roy Miller and the Bucs have traded Arrelious Benn to the Eagles for peanuts.

16:11 p.m.: And Elvis Dumervil is officially a free agent because they couldn't get the contract turned in in time.

15:33 p.m.: Louis Delmas signs with the Lions, while Elvis Dumervil remains in Denver after taking a pay cut, per Adam Schefter. Not all that relevant: the Buccaneers weren't going to pursue either player.

14:53 p.m.: Eric Wright lost his grievance and his guarantee has been voided. The Bucs can now cut him and save $7.75 million of salary cap space.

14:10 p.m.: The Falcons signed Tony Gonzalez to a two-year, $14 million contract. That means facing the best tight end in NFL history for two more years. Goodie.

13:26 p.m.: The Patriots have re-signed CB Kyle Arrington, per Jeff Phowe of the Boston Herald. That's another cornerback off the market, not that he was very intriguing.

12:00 a.m.: The Buccaneers let Michael Bennett leave because of Da'Quan Bowers' upside. That's what the Tampa Bay Times is reporting. I can't disagree that Bowers has a ridiculous amount if upside, but the Bucs now have no depth and no third-down rusher inside to pair with McCoy. Bowers could gave started, and Bennett would still gave seen a ton of snaps each game.

11:34 a.m.: The Miami Dolphins have signed tight end Dustin Keller to a one-year deal, per Adam Schefter. Not much left on the tight end market for the Bucs.

11:29 a.m.: The Bucs have won an award for their athletic training staff, while Davin Joseph has been named the team's recipient of the Ed Block Courage award.

Congrats to Todd Toriscelli & the Bucs' athletic training staff, who will honored as the Athletic Training Staff of the Year on Saturday.

The Bucs' training staff did a good job rehabbing players from injuries the past season.

11:25 a.m.: The Patriots gave signed WR Donald Jones, per Adam Schefter. Could gave been solid depth in Tampa.

10:54 a.m.: The Jets have signed Mike Goodwin to a three-year deal, per Adam Schefter. Does this affect the Bucs? Nope.

10:00 a.m.: How did media and fans react to the Dashon Goldson signing? We find out.

9:56 a.m.: Rick Gosselin has an interesting note.

The NFL has spent $707 million on the Top 25 free agents, of which $297 million is guaranteed. Those 25 FAs have a combined six Pro Bowls.

Two of those Pro Bowls are Goldson's.

9:00 a.m.: The Patriots are hosting Dwight Freeney, John Abraham and Adrian Wilson, per Tom E. Curran. That's a lot of old guys.

8:20 a.m.: Jeremy Trueblood thanks the fans.

Not sure if it'll be good enough, but this much is sure: Miami making a strong push to re-sign OT Jake Long.
