Antonio Bryant's career with the Buccaneers is apparently over. Raheem Morris informed Tampa Bay's beat reporters of this news on Thursday. Bryant is an unrestricted free agent. "We're going to move on," said Morris.

With less than two months until the NFL Draft, the first four teams in the draft order have discussed possible trades. Multiple league sources confirmed to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter on Tuesday that the Rams, Lions, Buccaneers and Redskins have all discussed trading their pick. While there are an abundance of teams looking to trade down in the draft, there is the usual scarcity of teams looking to trade up.

The Buccaneers are cautiously optimistic that guard Arron Sears will return to action this season. Sears missed all of last season after essentially removing himself from the team nearly 12 months ago. He was battling depression, according to league sources, and he spent the season on the non-football injury list.

Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik hinted earlier this week that the team could look to move up in April's NFL Draft. Tampa Bay holds the third overall pick. Speaking to Steve Duemig, of 620 WDAE-AM, Dominik confidently spoke of his readiness to trade up to meet the team's needs. "We have the ability to go either direction," Dominik said. "We'll prepare to go either direction, which is a good option for Tampa Bay."

Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfolk wants to leave the team if they don't provide him with a long-term contract. Wilfork has been asking New England for a contract extension for two seasons, but talks have never gone anywhere. The Patriots are expected to place their franchise tag on the tackle, but Wilford says he's ready to play hardball. "We've been waiting for two years. Been trying to talk for two years. I did all the things I could do. Did all the right things to the point people questioned me why I did it. Why I was the good soldier. Why I playing through pain and risking my career for one year. But I loved the game of football," said Wilfork. "I signed a six-year deal [as a rookie] when a lot of people weren't. I played it out. I did the right thing and it's time for me to move on. This is definitely not on me. We'll see where it goes from here." Wilfork, who played high school and college football in Florida, isn't shy about his desire to return to the state. He said playing for either the Dolphins or Buccaneers would be "a dream come true."
