I say yes!

If not for him to play every game than just for his leadership and to honor the
man and everything he's done for us here in Tampa.

Lets be real here, this guy is arguable the best buccaneer we've ever had here
and he deserves better than the way the bucs treated him, he's only asking for
one more yr.

WHY NOT?

I agree- Derek would undoubtedly be my favorite NFL player of all time if he wasn't a Seminole (I'm a big Gator fan). Him, along with Warren Sapp and John Lynch, were integral pieces of the Cover 2 paradigm shift. He was the ultimate run stopper/cover guy combo linebacker- possibly the best of all time. He at least needs to be in that conversation. Obviously his impressive toughness, consistency and leadership are traits that every team needs and he brings that to the table in spades. SAVE DEREK and GO BUCS!

Yes! For all that he has done for the BUCS he deserves it.

After the way Tony Dungy was fired, I gave up on the Buc's. But Derek, warren sapp,& John Lynch made the buc's. I was really glad to see Tony Dungy take his team to the super bowl after leaving Tampa, Shows what a great man can do, and Tampa was to stupid to recognize that. they would have been the one in the super bowl if they had kept the right team.
