The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded DE Gaines Adams to the Chicago Bears for a second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Adams played in 37 career games with 29 starts, totaling 124 tackles, 13.5 sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 13 passes defensed. He entered the league as Tampa Bay’s first round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft.

Adams had been a major disappointment this season for the Buccaneers and some have questioned his drive and effort. He'll get a chance to work with Chicago's defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.

Marinelli is known as one of the better defensive line coaches in the NFL and demands his players give top effort all the time.
