Colmer Released; Pearson Resigned

You had to wonder how long OT Chris Colmer would stick around. The disease that kept him out of his first two seasons finally cost him his roster spot, having failed his physical. Colmer was a pick that many, including me, thought was a risk, but possibly worth it if he got over his condition. Unfortunately, he never did, and he's now a 3rd round bust. Hopefully the Bucs have learned to stay away from the risk picks and go more for the type of players that are more likely to be productive and make the roster.

The release allowed the Bucs to resign Kalvin Pearson, who's coverage skills are lacking, but who's special teams skills are outstanding. He's been a very good ST player, and should bolster that unit, assuming he makes the 53 man roster, which is not a given at all.

It's been pretty bone dry on the news these past few weeks, and we have a couple more weeks to go before the pre-training camp talk gears up, then we'll hit TC and the news will start flowing again. I'm hoping to get out there this year and bring back photos and video segments (something I couldn't do on the Road Runner site in the past). If I do get out there, I'll finally be armed with a camera that can really capture close ups and get fast action shots with ease. Till then...
