See Yah Simeon

In a meeting between
Tampa Bay Buccaneers management and
Simeon Rice, the 32 year old Rice was asked to take a pay cut. Apparently that didn't go over too well with the sack specialist and he refused, prompting the Bucs to release him. Even after a season in which he only recorded 2 sacks in 8 games due to injury, he still is a valuable commodity at DE who prior to last year averaged 13.5 sacks for the Bucs between 2001 and 2005.
Out with the old.
And in a not so shocking move the Buccaneers signed Simeon Rice's replacement at DE, rookie Gaines Adams, to a 6 year deal. The deal maxes out at $46 million, with $18.56 million guaranteed and promises that Adams will be there at the start of training camp.
