The Facts:
Giving perhaps the clearest indication that the Bucs don't expect to have Cadillac Williams next season, the team has targeted Foster, who was released Thursday by the Panthers to save about $4.75-million in salary cap room. GM Bruce Allen said Saturday at the NFL combine he has spoken with Foster's agent, Joby Branion. A visit is likely to occur early next week. "We've had talks with his representative, yes," Allen said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Williams is recovering from a torn patellar injury he suffered last Oct. at Carolina. It is expected to take between nine and 12 months to completely heal, meaning he might not be cleared to play until the middle of the 2008 season. Improving the running back position will be one of the Bucs goals this off-season. Already, the team re-signed Michael Bennett to a three-year contract and are negotiating an extension for Earnest Graham. Michael Pittman is hoping to join another team.
