Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune is reporting that Jones, a former 2nd round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, will visit One Buc Place tomorrow. Jones recorded 61 tackles, one sack, five pass deflections and two interceptions last year with Philadelphia.
According to Cummings, Jones is known for his run support and could be a possible candidate to take over the strong safety position next season, as Sabby Piscitelli has been deemed unable to perform at a desirable level.
As rjblitz02 reported last night in his fanshot, the Bucs are also rumored to be interested in Cleveland safety Brodney Pool, and Miami safety Gibril Wilson. A visit with these two players has yet to be confirmed.
Bryant signs with Bengals
I can't confirm this from a second source, but it appears Antonio Bryant has signed with the Bengals. Playing opposite of Ocho Cinco, this could be a tough offense to stop.
Good luck AB.

I couldn’t think of a peeve this week so I asked my Facebook friends for some of their peeves.
JD doesn’t like it when people use too many question marks and misused apostrophes bother SB.
CP thinks that when you’re in a public bathroom you should have the decency to do a courtesy flush.
LR does not like hair and food to be near each other. Keep hairbrushes, hats, and ponytail holders off the table and kitchen counters.
NP (who works the circ desk at a library) gets annoyed when people ask to “rent” library materials.
JW hates lousy parkers.
“Not a huge Hummer that can’t park in the lines, but a little compact that is angled so grotesquely that there is no possible way for you to get into (or out) of the space next to it.”
JD, but not the JD who hates too many question marks, doesn’t like competition commuters, “people who think commuting to work is a competition to see who gets there first.”
MM gets irritated when people ask a question and then interrupt the answer.
Finally, the other MM’s peeve used to be having to interact with people. But since his daughter was born he’s decided that interacting with some people can be pretty nice. Yay for babies!
Thanks, guys, for sharing your peeves.

A cashier at Publix says they didn’t do enough in free agency. A bartender at Applebee’s waits for the draft. A guy at Panera Bread, who always talks to me about football ten minutes longer than I’d like him to, thinks trading away draft picks for proven talent is a foolproof scheme.
If it were your team, what would you do? If you had to ink the checks, how would you spend?
From the recliner, the answer is easy: Whatever it takes to win. But there’s more to it than that.
Now flash back to 2010.
Stay at No. 3 Tampa Bay, and take whoever is left out of Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy and Eric Berry. In the second round, address the receiver position and either defensive tackle or safety, whichever wasn’t there at No. 3. For the rest of the draft, the best player on the board on the defensive side of the ball should be priority. It’s a simple formula. Could the Bucs use another offensive lineman or take a chance in the later rounds on another receiver? Sure, if someone falls farther down the board than Mel Kiper thinks he should. Otherwise, draft defense so I can get back the Buccaneers I know and love.
In the uncapped year, which we should all get used to because it’s likely here to stay, too much money is being thrown at free agents. Consequently, teams are placing absurdly high tenders on restricted free agents, making many acquisitions unrealistic for a Buccaneer team looking more towards 2011 (if there is one) than 2010.
If it were my team, I’d hit the draft board hard. I’d be looking to unload some older talent to contenders to get more draft picks rather than send them away for receivers who caught as many touchdowns in 2009 as I did (Cough, cough, Reggie Brown). If it were my money, I’d rather spend it on another potential Sammie Stroughter in the 6th round of the 2011 draft, the choice the Bucs gave to the Eagles in return for Brown.
If it were my team, Michael Clayton would be gone, and in his place we’d find a draft pick, likely a late-rounder, and I’d admit what a mistake he’s been.
If it were my team, the last full weekend in April would be the biggest weekend of my year. It would be the weekend we get a glimpse at the future of a franchise with nowhere to go but up. It would be the weekned we finally get the draft right and generate a little excitement at One Buc Place.
