    Matt Bryant, the most accurate kicker in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, returned to the team's practice field Tuesday and sounded conflicted about his chances of retaining his starting job in 2009. The Bucs signed 27-year-old free agent Mike Nugent from the Jets to compete against Bryant, who turned 34 last month. "I still need to talk to other people about what's going on,'' Bryant said. "Once I talk to the people I need to talk to, then I can talk more to you guys. You can have more of a story once I talk to other people.'' Bryant has missed Tampa Bay's voluntary workouts while attending to a family medical issue in Texas and is concerned Nugent will have a leg up in their matchup when training camp opens Aug. 1. "Yeah, I'm not going to let anyone take any money from me," he said.
