RB Derrick Ward Interested in Texans [Signs with Bucs]

[popanot]

Ward would be a nice pickup for this team. He's a hard runner and would be a great compliment to Slaton. He could even carry the load if - heaven forbid - Slaton got hurt. I'm not sure I'd want to go into next year counting on a rookie RB as the primary backup. We hit gold with Slaton, but for every Slaton, there's a dozen Vernand Morency's, Chris Taylor's and Wali Lundy's. Ward proved he's a good, capable RB last year.
