Former Bengals tackle Willie Anderson, one of three veterans whom the team cut on Saturday and the only one who has yet to pick a new home, is in the process of determining his next move.
Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the choices for the 12-year veteran who never has been a free agent are the Ravens, Chargers, and Buccaneers.
Schefter reports that Anderson passed a physical in Baltimore on Wednesday. Though it’s unclear whether each of the three teams has a firm offer on the table, the fact that agent Terry Bolar said that Anderson wants to make a decision by the end of the week suggests fairly strongly that there’s at least one.
If he’s on a roster for Week One, his full salary will be guaranteed.

Bucs are some of the best negotiators in the business, he wont be paid well (in relation to other NFLers). They always leverage the fact that florida has no sales tax to get players to take less. Why do you think they have so much salary cap space? not because they are overpaying people.
I agree with the misery-ravens part though.

There is sales tax in Florida, though there is no income tax. Meaning you don’t get taxed on the money you make from your salary. Which I could imagine what kind of savings it is on a multi million dollar a year contract…

Come to Baltimore Willie. 2000+ rushing yards, easy. Willis is in for 1400, put Ray Rice down for 500+, and maybe up to 500 for our 500lb backfield with Leron Mclain and Lorenzo Neal.
We would be Super Bowl favorites if it weren’t for that new fangled “foward pass”, haven’t quite got that down yet….

What happened to the Bears…..who desperately need a tackle???
I guess Willie wanted to go to a team with a quarterback, wide outs, a running back, and some offensive linemen…….
and some coaching………
and a real GM…….Fire Jerry Now!!!!

The Ravens are in the most dire need, but at this point in his career, San Diego would make the most sense. How much is left in the tank, especially considering the mental drain of what he’s leaving?
