Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB Michael Pittman's probation violation hearing, originally scheduled for today in Tempe, Ariz., has been moved to July 2. According to the Tampa Tribune, Pittman's attorney, Phil Noland, was granted a continuance because of a court conflict. Pittman, who is serving a three-year probation after misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and criminal damage in 2001, also has a hearing scheduled Thursday where his lawyer is expected to enter not-guilty pleas on two felony charges of aggravated assault. If Pittman is found to have violated his probation he could be jailed until the he awaits a trial. Should he be found guilty on those two counts, Pittman faces at least five years in prison. Even if he pleads down to lesser charges, Pittman is facing possible jail time and a certain NFL suspension.

Stokes again makes the Dolphins seemingly his best and only option.

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles obviously believe there is no such thing as having too many defensive backs on their roster, and Tuesday they signed CB Daryon Brutley to a two-year contract, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Brutley signed with the Buffalo Bills last year as an undrafted free agent, but he was released during the preseason.
