It seems the Tampa Bay Buccaneers players aren't happy with the Eric Wright trade. It may make some sense given the whole DUI arrest and all, but that doesn't mean the players have to like that one of their own is getting traded for peanuts.
Or, well, mostly it's Donald Penn who seems disappointed.
I can't believe this trade and I'm just gonna leave it at that smfh

We have more reactions to the news, though. Both media and fans chimed in.
Media tweets:
Seeing folks talk about Bucs' options at nickel CB. Don't forget to include former AZ Cardinals CB Michael Adams in the mix...

Told ya, Wright was a pain in the ass off the field & that's why he's gone. Pegged for DUI again for a 2nd straight year? Wow. Not smart

I might bet on Leonard Johnson winning #Bucs No. 2 CB job. Will tackle, get physical. Good traits for Revis bookend. Not impressed by Banks.

Here's another pic of Eric Wright in 49ers gear...clearly always had a soft spot for the hometown team. pic.twitter.com/3wqBmgBbND

On a football note, the trade def doesnt make tampa a better team on the field in 2013. It puts tremendous pressure on banks right away

Best explanation for the Eric Wright trade? He was never going to be a Buccaneer Man. Not deemed a positive influence for a young secondary

Fan reaction:
@Bucs_Nation Does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me!
— Mark Whitby (@twitspvfc) July 19, 2013
@Bucs_Nation not shocked....

@Bucs_Nation 1 injury in the secondary or DL and we're back to the 2012 Bucs...what happened to depth?
— Damian (@ajay813) July 19, 2013
@JoeBucsFan @Bucs_Nation You think the Schiano Order hides the bad eggs until they can get a trade? Price, Winslow, Talib, Wright ...
— Raul Cavazos (@rcavazos08) July 19, 2013
@Bucs_Nation @ajay813 A bit too pessimistic. We still have added Revis Goldson and Banks. We have comparable depth at safety. Calm down guys
