The Buccaneers announced that they have claimed former Green Bay Packers running back Kregg Lumpkin and former New England Patriots center Ted Larsen off waivers on Sunday. To make room for Lumpkin and Larsen, Tampa Bay released kick returner and running back Clifton Smith and rookie right tackle Derek Hardman. Smith, who was signed as an undrafted free agent during the 2008 season, made the team and earned a spot in the Pro Bowl after being the second in the NFL in punt return yardage with a 14.1-yard average and a touchdown. Smith was fifth in the NFL and second in the NFC in kick return yardage with a 27.6-yard average and a 97-yard touchdown. Last year, Smith was leading the NFL in kick returns with a 29.1-yard average, including a key 83-yard kick return in the team's win against Green Bay.

Favorite Teams:

Clifton Smith had all the talent needed to make the team but he just can't seem to hang on to the ball. He should find work with another team.
