According to Gil Arcia of The Bay Cave, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are close to signing former Florida running back and Olympic silver medalist Jeff Demps.
“To confirm on an earlier report from Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com, a source with knowledge of the two sides confirmed with TheBayCave.com that the signing is imminent and the Bucs are not just interested, but are currently working on a contract with Jeff Demp” reported Arcia.
The addition of Demps would give the Bucs a nice one-two punch along with rookie Doug Martin.

There's a lot of crummy quarterbacks in the NFL. And while Josh Freeman might not be one of them, he's certainly not as good as his teammate, Vincent Jackson, believes. In fact, Jackson's confidence is downright laughable. Jackson, who is entering his first season in Tampa Bay, spoke highly of his new Buccaneers squad on Monday, but it's his comment regarding Freeman...

Tampa top receiver Jackson to draw crowd
Vincent Jackson was signed to be a No. 1 receiver, something the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rarely had in nearly four decades in the NFL.
Jackson, who proved a deep threat in seven seasons with the San Diego Chargers, is the only proven veteran on a young receiving corps that will look to him for leadership and touchdowns.
The Bucs plan to line him up in several different spots...

Bucs have little to show for linemen drafted high
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have little to show for the four first- and second-round picks they spent on defensive linemen in the drafts of 2010 and 2011.
It's a high priority of new coach Greg Schiano to get some production from that unit.
The Bucs have continued to rank near the bottom of the league in most defensive categories, especially those reflecting strength in the defensive...

1. Doug Martin, Buccaneers
Doug Martin is a strong, speedy back already wowing coaches and fans. His NFL build is similar to that of Ray Rice of the Ravens. Interestingly enough, Ray Rice went to Rutgers, where at the time the head coach was Greg Schiano, the Buccaneers current coach. I believe Schiano will look to use Martin and Legarrette Blount similarly to how he used Rice and...
