Bucs meeting with free agent OL Connolly

Free agent offensive lineman Dan Connolly met with the Buccaneers April 2, 2015. Connolly played right guard for the Patriots last season until left guard Logan Mankins was traded to the Bucs. Connolly was then moved to Mankins’ position. He could add experience and depth to the Buccaneers anemic offensive line, as he has played all interior line positions. The lineman has been in the league for 10 years, starting 71 of 85 games. He was originally drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
