Bucs Sign Paralyzed Former Rutgers Player Eric Legrand

I understand that, but do you really think this idea came from management that has no ties to the kid?

[bigdog10]

Good deal. It's refreshing to hear some positive stuff come out of the media when referring to the NFL.

[XClown1986]

Rival or not, I applaud the move. Great for morale of the team, and an excellent way to pay tribute to an inspirational person. Well done Bucs.

[sunbunny]

Wow. Kudos to the Bucs.

[DeeJay]

Poor guy...

Good Move bucs

Am I the only one who thinks this is stupid? The nfl and the bucs are a business not charities. If he wanted to put him on his staff I'd be fine with that, but signing him is a waste of money that doesn't belong to the head coach.

Legrand does not get any money, it is only a symbolic gesture. It was a dream come true for Legrand, so kudos to the Bucs. Why people have to nitpick everything and can't accept a feel good story for what it is is beyond me.

[Donald LaFell]

the bucs can benefit from this karma as long as it's not against us.

High Class move on the Bucs part, well done!

Didn't realize he wasnt getting paid. Im not quite sure the point now. I thought it was to help him out with money.

[Mr. Scot]

i doubt the head coach signed him.

Schiano was his college head coach at Rutgers. He coached the game in which LeGrand was injured.

Classy move.

[Hotsauce]

They just got some major swag/karma points

i know, but it's not like schiano did it on the sly... the GM signs players and the dude isn't getting paid.

Could be a motivational leader in the locker room
