Probably the best possible situation for him.

Nice move for both sides, akin to Ian Gold going there a few years ago. Screws up the mock I had been slowly working on a bit, but it's a good move. Nice immediate upgrade, and while the contract numbers haven't been released, my bet is that it's a 1 year deal and he'll get a shot to test the market again next year.

No, I believe Bucs signed him as LB.
Good addition, he's a good fit.

No . . . he wasn't a very good safety at Michigan.

We always have prioritized linebacker depth, but I don't know what kind of playing time he expects to receive, or what we expect to give. Now Scott has to change his Bucs mock again :D

This is interesting, Derrick Brooks still is the better WLB of the two. Then again, this is the Buccaneers and Jon Gruden we're talking about.
Strongside linebacker? Good luck with that.

He will most likely start.

Ryan Nece has been our starting SLB for 2 years, I don't think Cato June is going to change that......
Unless of course you think he will start at SS

Yeah he definitely could change that. I think Brooks and Cato will both be the outside backers, not sure who will play where though. Once the contract numbers come in we'll have a better idea of what kind of playing time he'll be getting.

I was really hoping to see Winborn on the field more this year with the potential to take over for Brooks

uhhh....
If they plan on him playing strong safety I'm sure the OC's in the NFC South are already licking their chops. He's perfect for their system at LB tho.

I don't think there is any way he would go somewhere he wouldn't be starting.

Fits the scheme, not going to answer the question if he can play outside of that defense though.

I think he'll beat out Nece for the strongside job, and while he's not an ideal fit for the strongside job, he can do a decent-solid job there potentially, akin to Ian Gold a few years ago. I don't think there's anyway he signed there unless he was told he'd have a good shot to start. I guess it's possible that they work him in the middle, although that would require improved DT POA play to protect him.

Yeah, cause the thought of Jermaine Phillips at SS sends shivers up their spines.
In my opinion, there are two places to play June, weakside LB and SS. So unless Brooks is going to change positions, I see June playing safety.
