BronxRik Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Did TB cut him? Yes: Bucs cut ties with Derrick Ward The other shoe finally dropped on Derrick Ward in Tampa Bay. It had been rumored over the last two weeks that Ward was in jeopardy of losing his roster spot, and Bucs coach Raheem Morris announced during his Tuesday news conference the veteran was one of three roster cuts. “Every cut here is based on skill, that’s the only thing I can tell you,” Morris said of the decision to release the running back after only one season on a four-year, $17 million contract. ”We could be wrong. Derrick will go out there and try to prove us wrong. He should. … Hopefully he can go out there and prove me wrong and prove us wrong as an organization.” After three underwhelming preseason performances and a warning shot from Morris, Ward fell behind Kareem Huggins as the primary backup to starter Cadillac Williams. The Bucs also released WR Terrence Nunn and LB Jon Alston on Tuesday. Linkaroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I say yes. He's two seasons removed from a thousand-yard one with the Giants... if the price is right, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 No, Derrick hasn't set the world on fire down in Tampa, granted gthey are a shitty team right now, and he had to share carries, he would be a step backwards now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh yes, for sentimental purposes it would be nice to get all these guys back, but so few of them make sense at all. Get Plaxico back for example. We need to get used to the fact we replace these guys who leave us and those who don't replace them properly get replaced by someone else.
