According to various sources free-agent quarterback Byron Leftwich has agreed to a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Steelers and Redskins were also interested in Leftwich as well. Leftwich, 29, a first-round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Marshall in 2003, won a Super Bowl ring last season as a backup with the Steelers.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder has started just eight games since 2006, his last season with the Jaguars. He played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. Leftwich passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns in five appearances with the Steelers last season as Ben Roethlisberger’s backup. The Buccaneers now have a bunch of quarterbacks and they will need to decide who is going to run the ship under the new head coach. I will be interested to see how this all plays out in the end.
