The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have sent Gaines Adams to Chicago yesterday in exchange for the Bears' second-round pick in 2010, per Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times.

Adams, who was the fourth overall pick in 2007, hasn't lived up to the status of being a top pick. In 37 career games, Adams has only 13.5 sacks.

In five games this season, Adams has only one sack and ten tackles.

The move likely means that Stylez White, who leads the team in QB pressures (11), will start at right defensive end with Adams' departure.

And Bucs left defensive end Jimmy Wilkinson, who has five sacks this year, has ten sacks in his past 12 games.

Meanwhile, the Bears have one of the league's better defensive line coaches in Rod Marinelli.

Only three NFL teams -- Vikings, Broncos and Steelers -- have more sacks than the Bears, who have 14 sacks through four games. However, those three teams have all played five games.

‘‘Really, I can’t say right now that a fresh start was what I needed,’’ Adams said, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times. ‘‘Really, I am just privileged to be a Bear. It is going to be a new start for me, and I am excited. Hopefully, I go out and play Sunday.’’

Adams joins Adewale Ogunleye and Mark Anderson, who have started at defensive end. Ogunleye leads the team in sacks with 4.5.

Considering Adams' lack of production in Tampa, getting a second-rounder back is a win for Tampa. If Marinelli can get Adams to look more like a fourth-overall pick should look, this could turn out to be a win-win.
