Dezmon Briscoe could start at wide receiver next if Arrelious Benn isn't recovered from ACL surgery. | ||||||
According to the Pewter Report, the Bucs are very high on Briscoe and see him as the third receiver. Benn's tear was a clean one and the rehab is reportedly going well, but predicting returns from reconstructive knee surgeries is an inexact science. Briscoe is a name to store in the back of your mind. | ||||||

As if the Bucs' draft class wasn't impressive enough, they've also nabbed rookies LeGarrette Blount and Briscoe for peanuts. Briscoe offers nice size, great hands, and an impressive college track record. He has a chance to stick, but he'll start off at the bottom of the depth chart. | ||||||

Bucs signed WR Dezmon Briscoe to their practice squad. | ||||||
Tampa pried Briscoe away from signing for the Bengals' practice squad by offering him the rookie minimum ($310,000) rather than the practice squad minimum (about $100,000). Briscoe also has more opportunity in Tampa due to a highly suspect receiver corps. The Kansas alum picked the right agent. | ||||||

Bengals agreed to terms with sixth-round WR Dezmon Briscoe on a multi-year contract. | ||||||
Briscoe offers ideal size and plus leaping ability in addition to elite college production, but his stock slipped due to a slow forty time at the Combine. The Bengals are suddenly deep at receiver, and Briscoe missed the majority of OTAs with a groin injury. He's ticketed for the practice squad unless he opens eye in preseason action. | ||||||
