Buccaneers SS Jermaine Phillips seems unsure of his future with the team. “I think they have to look at personnel and see what they need,” Phillips said. “We have Tanard [Jackson] and Sabby [Piscitelli] who are quality players. Both are very good and going to be great in the future, so I don’t know if safety will be a need for them right now, but if they offer me and bring me back, I would love to be here.”

I’d be fine with it if the Bucs let him walk. Phillips (and most strong safeties) is instrumental in the Bucs’ run defense. Our RD was awful in the last month of the season, and that means Phillips (on top of our miserable defensive tackles) didn’t do the job. Let him go somewhere else, dedicate the money we would have given him to getting either Albert Haynesworth or Brandon Jacobs.
And you could do worse than Sabby Piscitelli.
