    Bucs Sign S Cargile; Release CB Hawkins, FS Byrd And WR Filani

    The Buccaneers signed safety Steve Cargile on Wednesday and released cornerback Mike Hawkins, who was claimed off waivers by Dallas earlier in the day. Tampa Bay also waived rookie safety C.J. Byrd, who was guilty of a 30-yard personal foul penalty at Tennessee on Saturday night, in addition to waiving injured receiver Joel Filani.

    Tampa Bay has a pressing need to get its secondary right as soon as possible as it was announced on Wednesday that starting free safety Tanard Jackson has been suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the 2009 regular season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy.
