Isn't it a good time of year to declare yourself a left tackle? Various outlets are reporting he'll visit Tampa later today if a deal isnt worked out in Berea. Too bad Chris Sims is a lefty so he wouldnt be guarding his blind side.

STEINBACH TO VISIT BUCS ON SATURDAY
Our friends at PewterReport.com report that free-agent offensive lineman Eric Steinbach will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, after his visit with the Browns and before his visit with the Seahawks.
And as we guessed in the wee hours of Friday morning, the Bucs are interested in playing Steinbach at left tackle instead of left guard, which was his primary position in Cincinnati.
On the surface, the notion of Steinbach playing left tackle would drive up his value, since left tackle is regarded as the most important position on the offensive line. If, however, the Bucs' starting quarterback in 2007 will be the left-handed Chris Simms, Steinbach won't be protecting the blind side, making Steinbach no different than a right tackle on a team with a right-handed passer.
