Bucs sign 33 year old Kevin Carter to 4yr deal

The Bucs have signed DE Kevin Carter to a 4 year deal worth as much as 25 million fa-fillion dollars reports the St. Petersburg Times.

Is it just me or does it feel like we're squandering that 20 or so mil in cap space that we had? I mean we didn't resign a 27 year old DeWayne White because he wanted 5 for 29, but we're willing to hand a 33 year old 4 for 25. Granted Kevin Carter has a track record and has been to the pro bowl. but goodness. Still waiting for OL help . . . Hopefully a Petitgout signing surfaces

When did...

Jon Gruden completely go crazy? Or better yet, when did the complete moron that looks like Gruden take over and when is the bright, intelligent, football savvy Gruden coming back?

Kevin Carter? When DeWayne White is a young version of Keven Carter before Kevin Carter got old and signed a huge, inflated deal with the Bucs.

Somebody needs to take Gruden's pass away and escort him out of the complex...

its definitely

becoming laughable. Kevin Carter has been in the league for what seems forever. I mean, he felt old when Jevon Kearse was actually a force for the Titans and that was wayyy back. The only thing I can think; is that this is Jon's swan song and he's gonna go out with his guys. Which means in its absurdity, Troy Smith will be a buccaneer.

I dont get it?!%#@!

White, a fine replacement for Sim after his contract expires next year. Carter a fine replacement, for his age.Will he stay healthy? or will he start showing his age. I hope he won't.
I dont know but I would venture to guess the DeWayne was going to play for Rod Marinelli no matter what. I can say this. We sure did miss Rod this past season!

yea

Marinelli had a hand in luring DeWayne away, but money walks and playing time talks in Dewayne's case.

You just gotta wonder about Gruden's love affair with veterans. Kevin Carter hasn't had double digit sacks since '02. He's been in the league 13 years and we give him a 4 year deal. Time will tell, but I'd venture to say this contract will linger
