The Buccaneers signed four of their tryout players from last weekend to free agent contracts.

Amarri Jackson (WR, South Florida)
Chris Bradwell (DT, Troy)
John Rochford (C, Miami)
Clifton Smith (RB, Fresno)

The focus of the article is Jackson, who has been getting a lot of attention on Buccaneer message boards because he's a USF product. He's also the only one I've heard of. Of course, when you change colleges every year, you're probably not going to get a lot of recognition.

Bradwell's path to the NFL has taken him through Hargrave Military Academy, Florida State, Northeast Mississippi Community College and Troy.

Unless Bradwell absolutely unleashes some talent that no one knew he had before, he really doesn't have a shot. Rochford will probably compete with Andrew Economos for the designated long-snapper position. Smith will have to prove he's better than seventh round pick Cory Boyd in order to make it past the first round of cuts. The fact that Boyd was injured and unable to participate in the last day of minicamp may have had a part in the decision to sign Smith.
