Ogletree showed flashes in Dallas last season, nice depth signing.

I'm not a huge fan of the Ogletree signing. I would have preferred to draft a WR like Ryan Swope instead.

Bye Bye Tiquan Underwood...Ogletree is a slight better version of him IMO

I like the Ogeltree signing. I mentioned him in my mock offseason. Good deal.

Were still going to draft a WR IMO. This is not an answer, I sense depth. Ogletree would be a decent #4.
Grab a #3/slot guy in the draft(Austin, Patton, Hunter, Woods, Williams, Bailey etc.)

Theyve really been looking hard at WRs this year, clear that they consider it a need. With the talk of trading Benn, this makes sense.

Ogletree could provide the Bucs with a third down, slot receiver. He caught 32 passes for 436 yards and four TDs in '12. Also returns kick.

Ogletree is an upgrade from Underwood and Benn so its not a bad signing. He showed he could hold his own when the cowboys had some injuries. I like it..

Is Ogltree the dude that blew up in the Cowboys first game of the season against the Giants?

Yea i saw that, as KR he has 20 returns with a 20 yard average which is probably better than any other option we have right now.

Did he return punts too?

Sure is.

Yea, I can get on board w/ that!

You're probably right. I think I jumped the gun a bit.

I like the fact that he can also help out on special teams as well. He should be a decent upgrade over Parrish.
