Ten reasons why Kellen Winslow will resurrect his career in Tampa

Kellen Winslow was one player I could never figure out. He was a guy that showed up to play every single day and who laid it out on the line. He plays with a fire that makes you feel like he really cares deeply about winning. Yet, on other days he would be frustrating to watch with his inconsistency and lack of emotional control.

Unfortunately, Kellen did not play enough, or on a good enough team, to have the sort of effect Clevelanders thought he could have on the Browns.

When he is healthy he may still be one of the most gifted tight ends in the NFL. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers must think so; they just signed him to a long-term contract extension.

A six-year, $36.1-million deal to be exact.

I hear a lot of Browns fans talking about how the Buccaneers made a huge mistake by signing him. I'm one that thinks the Bucs will get the better end of the deal. Why? Because history shows us that many players or sports personalities who struggled to perform or fit in the city of Cleveland go onto have very good careers after the fact.

Here are 10 more people you may have heard of:
Ron Harper
Andre Miller
Brandon Phillips
Anthony Henry
Steve Kerr
Brian Giles
Charlie Manuel (World Series)
Bill Belichick (I don't even have to say it)
Antonio Bryant
Jeff Garcia

My point is, before people start calling Kellen Winslow overrated, let's wait a few years to see what he does in Tampa.
