Buccaneers Sign Ben Troupe

Titans free agent tight end Ben Troupe has reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Bucs.
Troupe was one of many players who visited One Buc Place during the first two days of the free agent signing period. With the Bucs losing Anthony Becht and still undecided on bringing back Jerramy Stevens, depth at tight end was certainly a concern.
Troupe joins Alex Smith and new addition John Gilmore, a free agent from the Bears, in the Bucs' tight end corps.
The former Florida Gator hasn't been active in Tennessee's passing game the past two seasons, catching 18 passes in his past 26 games. But in his first two seasons, Troupe was quite productive as a receiver, catching 88 passes for 859 yards and five touchdowns.

This is awesome getting Troupe down here. Means that scumbag Jeramy Stevens is going to be gone and if we have Troupe and Alex Smith on the field at the same time, we've got two decent blockers who are a threat to catch the ball. Anthony Becht was a decent blocking TE but he couldn't catch a cold.

Jerramy Stevens is a piece of shit ... actually that's an insult to pieces of shit everywhere. Despicable waste of space.

Agreed. If someone picks him up, I'll lose a ton of respect for the offending organization. I normally don't give a rat's ass how a player acts on his own time (T.O., Pacman, etc), but Stevens is the lowest of the low. He doesn't deserve to live, much less have the privilege to play a game for millions of dollars. Die, punk.

Sounds like a total dirtbag. Although I can't really judge him for the underlined "offense":
The sheriff's office heard that Stevens violated school rules on alcohol and marijuana; kicked a football teammate in the testicles; and threatened referees in a basketball game after he was ejected for being too aggressive on the court.
