It's so hard to tell what's got a grain of truth to it and what's 100% bullshit during this time of the year. For example, The Times has a quick blurb about Matt Lehr coming back to the Bucs.
Tampa Bay has spoken several times with Bob Lattinville, Lehr's agent, and it is only a matter of time before a deal is done. Lattinville said Lehr wants to remain in Tampa Bay and the Bucs are ready to make a offer to retain the seven-year veteran.
"Ready to make an offer"? This sounds more like wishful thinking by an agent than an actual negotiation. I can definitely see Lehr coming back for 2008, but if it was truly "only a matter of time", I would think the Bucs would have done something a little more substantial by now. If the Bucs don't re-sign Lehr sometime in the next two days, they're letting him go into free agency and risking having Dan Buenning as the only center and going into a desperation mode where they'll sign anyone not named John Wade. I'm pretty sure they've had enough of him getting handed his lunch by more athletic defensive tackles.
