The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed second-round

Needless to say, the new Oakland Raiders jerseys went from perennial playoff team and Super Bowl title contender to arguably the worst team in the league.

Over the past seven years, the Raiders and increasingly senile owner Al Davis have tried to pick up the pieces and turn this storied franchise back into a playoff team, but with one bad move after another, the Oakland Raiders have become somewhat of a joke in the NFL.

One of the worst moves the team has ever made was drafting LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Even though Russell seemed to be the right choice at the time, he turned out to be a serious draft bust and was ultimately cut three years later.

After being sent packing, Russell was arrested for possession of codeine syrup and charged with a felony drug possession. This drug charge came just after he was getting interested from the New York Jets as a possible backup to Mark Sanchez.

Unfortunately, right after Russell was arrested and charged, the Jets withdrew any interest in signing the former number one overall pick and the once promising young quarterback's career was seriously in doubt.

Reportedly, Russell has pleaded not guilty to the felony drug charge this week. It is uncertain whether or not the quarterback still has a future in the NFL as no other team in the league has expressed any interest in signing him. Even teams in the UFL have also kept their distance and refused to give the former LSU standout a second chance

The new Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys have signed second-round draft pick Brian Price to a four-year contract.

The team announced the deal with the defensive tackle from UCLA on Tuesday.

Price, taken 35th overall, was the Pac-10 defensive player of the year in 2009.

Tampa Bay looked to overhaul its defensive line in the 2010 draft. The Buccaneers football jerseys used the third overall pick to take Oklahoma tackle Gerald McCoy.

McCoy has not yet signed.

Also, Tampa Bay released guard Lee Grimes, who was signed as an undrafted free agent in May.
