Free-agent quarterback Byron Leftwich has agreed to a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 29-year old first-round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Marshall in 2003, won a Super Bowl ring last season as a backup with the Steelers. Leftwich passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns in five appearances with the Steelers last season as Ben Roethlisberger’s backup.
Zach Thomas the seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker agreed to a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Thomas, 36, started 14 of 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys in 2008 during his 13th NFL season, recording 94 tackles.
Thomas spent the first 12 years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, with whom he was named to his last Pro Bowl in 2006 before missing 11 games with migraine headaches resulting from an auto accident in 2007.
Thomas should be a great fit for the Chiefs along with newly acquired Mike Vrabel and the 4th year pro-bowler Derrick Johnson. The linebacking core should be the strength of the Kansas City defense for the upcoming season.
