Player Notes

February 27, 2010
At least for the foreseeable future, the Bucs have no plans to release quarterback Byron Leftwich, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Our View:He didn't see enough snaps in 2009 to trigger a $3.5 million roster bonus, so the Bucs are lacking a compelling reason (other than his lack of skill) to release him. He will obviously be a fantasy non-factor next season.

February 25, 2010
The Buccaneers are expected to release Byron Leftwich at some point in the near future, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Our View:Whether it's Josh Johnson or maybe a veteran they pursue in free agency, the Buccaneers are expected to open 2010 with someone else as their starting quarterback, so it should hardly come as a surprise that the team is looking to ditch Leftwich and the $3.5 million roster bonus that he'd be due. He should be able to latch on with another team, but he'll certainly have to sign for cheap and be willing to accept a backup role.

November 24, 2009
Byron Leftwich has been placed on injured reserve with an elbow injury, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.

Our View:Leftwich long ago lost his starting job for the horrid Bucs, and Josh Johnson will continue to serve as Josh Freeman's back-up for the rest of the 2009 season.

October 25, 2009
Week 7 inactives: Byron Leftwich (3rd), DB Marcus McCauley, OG Jonathan Compas, OT Demar Dotson, OG Shawn Murphy, DT Dre Moore, DE Kyle Moore, RB Clifton Smith.

Our View:WR Michael Clayton (hamstring) is active and will start. On defense, LB Barrett Ruud (elbow) and CB Talib Aqib (hamstring) are active and will start.

October 11, 2009
Week 5 inactives: QB Byron Leftwich (3rd), RB Earnest Graham, S Corey Lynch, C Jeff Faine, OL Marc Dile, T Demar Dotson, DT Dre Moore, DE Kyle Moore.

Our View:RB Derrick Ward (ankle) is active, but Cadillac Williams is expected to carry more of the workload this week. Meanwhile, WR Antonio Bryant (knee), WR Michael Clayton (ribs) are active and will start. On defense, DE Gaines Adams (ankle) and LB Geno Hayes (knee) are active and will start.
