Christopher Capolupo Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/teams/nfc/tampa-bay-buccaneers/ For those of you who wanted us to sign Ben Troupe in the offseason, looks like he can be had now as he was released by the Bucs. I'll pass on him myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPearl2 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I can recall experts (maybe it was someone on Sirius) critizing us for not signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanGuzman Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I remember one article I read touting him as the next Antonio Gates, I think he ran 4.5 and had a forty inch vertical. I guess he couldn't translate his athleticism into on field success. Although I remember him having a nice sophomore season with the Titans he never really did anything afterward.

Nanker Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Doesn't he have to pass through the scum of the league like Miami, Oakland, Atlanta and the jests before The Bills can make him an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him here.. So far, our tight end play hasn't been its' perenial negative. It appears Royal truely committed to stepping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Alge Crumpler only has 3 catches for 20 yards with the Titans. I guess the TE market wasn't so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I lost a lot of respect when he visited Buffalo dressed like a thug. When you are coming in for a visit with a team looking for a job and with this organization and the way they preach character I would have thought he would have worn a nice suite and presented himself nicely. If I can recall he wore a hat to the visit aswell. Everyone else who visited wore something nice....... Honestly, I wouldnt be shocked if Buffalo made a pass at him for just that.....

JStranger76 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have no problem admitting I wanted to sign him at all. The guy has a lot of ability but just doesn't apply himself it seems. He'd be great in the Schouman-role as a move-around 2nd TE if was willing to work hard and learn the offense. Oh well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing if he had anything else to contribute in that type of role myself. Maybe this (being cut) would motivate him. Only issue I have with the signing would be that it would take someone spot, and think we're just about set everywhere else, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he could had for a lot cheaper now than in the Spring... I don't think the Bills are interested. Welcome aboard, Slo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
