Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said he expects linebacker Barrett Ruud, who missed all 14 OTA's in an attempt to draw attention to his need for a contract extension, to report on time. Dominik maintained his policy of not publicly discussing negotiations. Ruud did attend the team's mandatory minicamp. "You saw some little things (he missed), but his instincts took over,'' Dominik said of Ruud. "Barrett is a very smart football player. He can pick it up on a chalkboard. A lot of players have to do it on the field. His coaches did a nice job of keeping him up to date with what we were doing.'' Source: St. Petersburg Times
