Bucs claim RB Blount, release WR Brown

Football Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have claimed running back LaGarrette Blount off waivers from the Tennessee Titans and released veteran wide receiver Reggie Brown.

Blount was let go Sunday by the Titans after signing as an undrafted free agent. He spent most of the 2009 season at Oregon under suspension for punching a Boise State player in the season opener.

Brown, acquired in a March trade from Philadelphia, was made expendable by the emergence of young receivers Mike Williams, Arrelious Benn, Sammie Stroughter and Preston Parker.

A former second-round selection of the Eagles and Georgia product, Brown caught four preseason passes for 57 yards before being let go.

Brown spent his first five seasons with the Eagles, amassing 177 catches for 2,574 yards and 17 touchdowns, although he made only nine grabs for 155 yards last season in limited playing time.

The Buccaneers also signed offensive linemen Derek Hardman and Will Barker and wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe to the practice squad.
