Vinny Curry Signed to Add Edge Pressure

Early in free agency, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned to the reigning NFL champions to find a much-needed run-stopper for the middle of their defensive line. Now they've gone back to the same source to address another big need on the defensive front: edge rusher.

On Monday, 4 days after landing former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Beau Allen, the Buccaneers signed Allen's Philly teammate, defensive end Vinny Curry, to a 3-year deal. Allen and Curry were part of an Eagles defensive line that helped lead the way to the franchise's first Super Bowl title with 38 sacks and the league's best run-defense.
