The Facts: The Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Chicago Bears free agent Gilmore. PewterReport.com was the first to report that Gilmore would visit the Bucs on Friday and the Chicago Sun-Times is also reporting that Gilmore will sign with Tampa Bay.

Diehards Line:After seeing Anthony Becht and Jerramy Stevens hit the free agent market on Friday, the Buccaneers had a need for a blocking tight end to complement starter Alex Smith. That need appears to have been addressed with the addition of 6-5, 257-pound Gilmore, who has 21 career catches for 194 yards and three touchdowns as a reserve player.
