Player Notes

July 8, 2008
Ben Troupe noted the differences between playing in Tennessee and Tampa Bay, according to the Tampa Tribune. Troupe said, "The atmosphere, the players, and the level of focus and intensity. I mean, take nothing away from Tennessee. I thank God I was with them for four years. But it's the level of intensity down here in Tampa. Everyone jells with one another, we know that we are going to need everybody."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers expect tight end Ben Troupe to push incumbent Alex Smith for the top spot on the depth chart, according to the Tampa Tribune. Even if he doesn't break into the starting lineup, Troupe should see plenty of playing time, as the Buccaneers make generous use of two- and even three-tight end sets. If Troupe can stay healthy he has a chance to make a positive impact on the Tampa Bay offense, which is starving for playmakers in the passing game.

March 7, 2008
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached a two-year deal with Tennessee tight end Ben Troupe, according to ESPN. Troupe is hoping to rekindle a career that seemed so promising a couple years ago. The Titans made him the 40th pick in the 2004 draft because of his size and pass-catching ability. In 2005, Troupe caught 55 passes for 530 yards and four touchdowns. However, his productivity has diminished over the past two seasons. In 2006, Troupe started nine games but caught only 13 passes. Last year, he had two starts and only five catches. Troupe will have a chance to compete for the starting job against Alex Smith.

March 4, 2008
The free agency carousel continues to turn at One Bills Drive with a visit from free agent tight end Ben Troupe, according to buffalobills.com. Troupe, who has been slowed by various injuries during his career, landed in head coach Jeff Fishers doghouse last year in Tennessee. However, he is an athletically gifted player, who could provide the size and speed to create match-up problems in the passing game for Buffalo.

March 2, 2008
Ben Troupe was in Tampa Saturday to meet with Bucs officials. On Sunday, according to the NFL Network, he was in Buffalo to meet with the Bills front office. Troupe's injury history has been a sticking point for many organizations in need of a receiving tight end.
