Tampa, FL-- Bucs' co-chairman Joel Glazer on Monday declared, "We'll spend whatever it takes to win."

The comment came in reponse to a question from a reporter, regarding the Bucs' low payroll, in comparison to other teams from around the NFL.  According to the Altius Directory, the Bucs' 2011 payroll is just under $60 million, by far the lowest in the NFL.

"We are going to spend whatever it takes to win, and put the best team on the field," said Glazer.  "I think people have to realize that most of the money spent in the NFL, is from drafting players then resigning them... There has never been a player drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who left this team because of money."
