Bucs, LB Joe agree to terms

MARCH 03, 2008

One other transaction of note today: the Bucs have agreed to terms with LB Leon Joe, a player claimed off waivers by Tampa Bay last preseason before being released at final cuts.

Joe, 26, is a veteran of four NFL seasons and played sparingly in eight games with Buffalo in 2007.

Joe would likely compete for a backup role in the Bucs' linebacking corps. The Bucs have a solid starting group in Derrick Brooks, Barrett Ruud and Cato June.

Joe, an outside linebacker, played college ball at Maryland.
