The Tampa Bay Buccaneers dealt defensive end
Gaines Adams to the Chicago Bears on Friday in exchange for a 2010 second-
round draft pick.
The Bucs selected Adams with the fourth overall pick in the 2007 Draft, and
the third-year player is coming off a 2008 season in which he started all 16
games and recorded 6 1/2 sacks.
The Clemson product, figured to be expendable due to Tampa Bay's depth at
defensive end, has recorded 124 tackles and 13 1/2 sacks in 37 career games --
29 starts -- with Tampa Bay, including 14 tackles and one sack in five starts
this season.
The NFL trade deadline is October 20.
