Buccaneers sign free agent QB Leftwich (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed quarterback Byron Leftwich as a free agent. Leftwich, heading into his seventh NFL season, was a backup for the Steelers last year and threw for two touchdowns as Ben Roethlisberger's fill-in. He spent four seasons as the starter in Jacksonville, which selected Leftwich in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2003 draft out of Marshall.
