Buccaneers Reload in Free Agency

Scott Boehm/Getty Images(TAMPA, Fla.) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are doing everything they can to make new head coach Greg Shiano’s transition from Rutgers to the NFL as smooth as possible.
Less than 14 hours after signing wide receiver Vincent Jackson to a $55.55 million five-year deal on Tuesday, general manager Mark Dominik signed Pro-Bowl guard Carl Nicks and stand out cornerback Eric Wright to five-year deals of their own.
“They have the tools here to do big things,” Jackson said. “I’m just looking to do my part.”
For now the spending appears to be done.
“Our eyes are turned toward the draft,” Dominik said. “We’ve made our mark for what we wanted to accomplish.”
Tampa will have the fifth pick in April’s NFL Draft.
