| Buccaneers LB Barrett Ruud Will Attend All OTA's | | |
Although he's frustrated by his status as a restricted free agent, middle linebacker Barrett Ruud said he plans to attend every organized team activity for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this spring, one year after skipping the team's voluntary workouts. While Ruud has doubled his salary to $3.3 million in 2010, the Bucs were able to assign him a high tender that would cost potential suitors to surrender draft picks in the first and third rounds. And because Ruud is restricted, Tampa Bay has the option of matching any contract offer for the 26-year-old former Nebraska standout. "I'm not the only one going through this restricted label right now,'' Ruud said. "It's frustrating, but it's something I knew was going to happen. I'm ready to have as good a year as possible and I'm ready to do as much as I can to prepare for that. For me, OTAs are helpful and I plan to be at every one of them.''
