Yamon Figurs doesn’t have the name recognition of a Matt Jones or other wide recievers the Bucs worked out, but he does have something the others don’t have:
Figurs Signing More Than Meets the Eye
… you also need to recognize one other aspect to this move. Figurs played at Kansas State – with Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Josh Freeman. Figurs might not be able to come in and take the starting job immediately from Michael Clayton, who’s been having problems with drops, but Jones and Tyree weren’t going to do that either.
Figurs is a guy that Freeman has a comfort level with and that’s going to be important in the future. Freeman’s going to be the quarterback of this team sooner or later and the signing of Figurs might be a sign that’s coming sooner and not later.
