Authorities are investigating the death of former Buccaneers player Thomas McHale, 45, who was found dead at a friend?s home, according to a Yahoo.com report.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers auditioned a trio of wide receivers on Monday, according to a report in the St. Petersburg Times. Coach Jon Gruden worked out Eric Moulds, Eddie Kennison, and Bryan Gilmore this past week as the team looks for help in the receiving department. "We're still looking for some more players, not just at that position but other positions, as well," Gruden said.

Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia is unhappy with his contract situation and threatening to boycott the team?s voluntary workouts, according to a Yahoo.com report. With one year remaining on a contract that will pay him $2M in 2008, Garcia has asked for an extension.
