The Facts: Detroit, Denver and St. Louis are the teams most interested in Pittman, but he said there have been no scheduled visits or contract talks yet. Tampa Bay will likely see what those teams offer Pittman before deciding whether to extend an offer.

Diehards Line:Pittman, an unrestricted free agent, hoped there would be more serious interest in his services by now, but is optimistic a team will step up in the future. As Tribune staffer Anwar Richardson notes, the emergence of Earnest Graham, signing of Warrick Dunn, re-signing of Michael Bennett and possible return of Cadillac Williams (Kenneth Darby and Lionel Gates are also on the roster) has made Pittman the odd man out in Tampa Bay.
