Da’Quan Bowers signs with the Bucs
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 27, 2011, 10:36 PM EDT
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are acting fast to get their draft picks signed, with Da’Quan Bowers the latest to reach a deal.
Bowers confirmed on Twitter that the deal is done.
“Feels good to finally be a buc officially,” Bowers tweeted. “Dotted line signed.”
A defensive end from Clemson, Bowers was projected by some as a potential first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. But after questions surfaced about his knee, Bowers’ stock plummeted, and he ended up falling to the Bucs in the second round, at No. 51 overall.
The Buccaneers haven’t been active in free agency, but they have been active in signing picks. They were the first team to sign any draft pick when they reached a deal with Mason Foster, and they were the first team to sign a first-rounder when they inked Adrian Clayborn.

Who cares? Now with the new CBA I'd be surprised to really see many if any rookies holdout.

I love the cap. So nice to see the #1 pick not making more than Tom Fucking Brady.
IMO, it should have been a three-year thing like the NBA. Four is a bit much, and the fifth-year option for the owners ... wow. The NFLPA got ass-raped.
If you're a proven all-pro after three years you should have the ability to get your dollars.
But, again, at the end of the day I like the cap. The days of the Jamarcus Russells and Jonathan Sullivans are over.
