Bucs add WR to practice squad
We hear the Bucs have made one minor transaction at receiver, adding former third-round pick Derrick Hamilton to the practice squad.
Hamilton was drafted by the 49ers in 2004 out of Clemson but never amounted to much, playing in two games that season without catching a pass.
He most recently was on the Falcons' roster but was released in June. He has good size, for what it's worth: 6-4, 203 pounds.
Also, I've checked on the Peter Warrick angle, but his reps -- Drew Rosenhaus and brother Jason -- are being evasive (I know you're shocked). Anyway, here's a piece that some of you may find interesting regarding Warrick and his hopes of joining the Bucs.
Now I'm going to get back to trying to take a day off. Tuesdays are supposed to be off days in the NFL -- or so I hear.
Bucs Beat is the online destination for Buccaneer fans interested in the latest news about the team. St. Petersburg Times reporters Rick Stroud, Stephen Holder and Joe Smith will provide regular updates. Readers can comment on players, coaches, the front office - all of it.
Peter definitely fits the mold that Gruden likes with an aged vet. What can it hurt to try him out. At the least he could probably do kickoff & punt returns.

We need bodies in here at the moment. At least he has some experiance in the west coast system, when was with seattle. Punt and Kick offs don't need much play learning so he could come right in and play. If he gets hurt, it is better than losing bennett, Joey, Ike, or Phillip.

Maybe we can get Keyshawn to get out of the tube and back on the field.

peter warrick is a good option and so is edell sheppard. warrick has been in a west coast offense, but edell has been in OUR offense. i know he dropped that beautiful pass in the playoffs a couple years ago, but he knows the system well.
