Buccaneers tried to sign Dan Connolly, for some unfathomable reason

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't sign a free agent lineman this offseason, but they apparently tried. Kind of. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, the Bucs made a "strong pitch" to former Patriots guard Dan Connolly, but he passed because he'd be away from his family or would have to uproot them.

So hey, they tried to sign a lineman! Too bad that lineman was godawful last year, there's no reason to think he'd be at all useful this season, and really, why were they even trying to sign him instead of you know, actually useful players who could start, and contribute.
