Bucs visit with Crumpler and Coleman

Atlanta free agent defensive tackle Rod Coleman is concluding his visit with the Bucs today. His Falcons teammate, tight end Alge Crumpler, met with the team Tuesday.

Both players underwent physicals.

General manager Bruce Allen is believed to have begun preliminary talks with Crumpler's agent, James Williams.

Crumpler met with the Tennesee Titans today and also is expected to talk with the Seattle Seahawks.

Crumpler, the four-time Pro Bowler, has more than 4,000 career receiving yards and 35 touchdowns. He would provide the Bucs with a complete tight end who obviously excels as a receiver. Tight ends Anthony Becht and Jerramy Stevens are free agents.

Crumpler struggled with a knee injury last season and finished with just 42 receptions.

Coleman played in just five games last season after suffering quadriceps, triceps and wrist injuries. He originally was drafted by Allen with the Oakland Raiders.
