The Bucs were busy exploring the protection racket Sunday as former Patriots tackle Tom Ashworth visited with the coaching staff before departing for his next free agency tour stop in Miami.

And from Partiot land about Tom Ashworth there is this...

Tom Ashworth – The Patriots can’t really afford to lose depth on the offensive line but it’s hard to imagine the they will pay a guy a lot of money who was playing behind Brandon Gorin at the end of the season. The fact is offensive tackles – no matter how good they are – are sure to draw attention on the open market because so many teams are looking for experienced players at that position. Ashworth has versatility – he started eight games at right tackle, two games at left tackle and one game at tight end – and if a team offers him decent money, there’s a good chance Ashworth could be elsewhere in 2006.

Well this might drive the price up on him. Maybe even out of our price range. We will have to wait and see.

Finally, a post that brings up the fact that Ashworth lost his starting job to Brandon Gorin last year. This is not a guy who would upgrade our line in any aspect except its depth. Paying him anything greater than backup salary would be a waste of good cap room.
 
It's a stretch but maybe Miami is considering him as a Blocking Tightend..?
 
i guess Tom did lose his job to Gorin...but Tom DID play on the Patriots Super Bowl teams??? surely he isnt a terrible player, surely he is an upgrade, and surely, Hudson Houck can turn him into a great player...imo
