Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times writes that DT Amobi Okoye and the Buccaneers have a mutual interest in one another. Holder mentions that Okoye would fit nicely in a three-man rotation at defensive tackle by replacing DT Roy Miller who was injured throughout the year in 2011 and by taking pressure off of DT Brian Price. With a three-man rotation of DT Gerald McCoy, Price, and Okoye, the Buccaneers would be in better shape heading into the 2012 season considering that Okoye does provide a disruptive force who gets off the line of scrimmage with quickness, providing an interior pass rush, according to Holder.
