TAMPA — A Buccaneers team already replete with former Bears players might be on the cusp of adding yet another member of the team Lovie Smith coached before returning to Tampa last year.
Two-time Pro Bowl CB Tim Jennings, who spent five years with the Bears before he was cut earlier this week, spent Tuesday visiting with Smith and his staff at One Buc Place.
Smith would not say whether the Bucs were close to signing the veteran, but the consensus among others who have coached or played with Jennings suggest the Bucs would be remiss to pass on the opportunity.
