Pain alert! (more…)

Todd Bowles gets a powerful endorsement.

Newer Tampa Bay fans probably don’t realize that Shelton Quarles was a Buccaneers starter (1999-2006) at linebacker for the one of the greatest defenses the NFL has ever seen. (more…)

More.

Joe is on record claiming the Bucs need three new inside linebackers this offseason. The Bucs last year had zero depth at the position. (more…)

Coach him up, Coach.

Joe supposes these questions will linger until Al-Quadin Muhammad proves it wasn’t about his contract. (more…)

Return key to improvement?

Joe doesn’t know how anyone can objectively look at the Bucs roster before legal tampering began and after a week of free agency claim the team improved. (more…)

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

Successful.

Joe thinks it is fair to suggest new Bucs running back Kenneth Gainwell is a successful runner. (more…)

Last year the Bucs signed and targeted Charlie Heck to fill in for Tristan Wirfs at left tackle but absolutely refused to play him there. (more…)

It was three years ago that Baker Mayfield signed with the Buccaneers and we were told the laughable lie that he had to compete for the starting job with yet another NFL Draft failure from the Florida Gators.

PRESENTED BY

Don’t be quick to say new Bucs veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone signed with Tampa Bay because he has a year-round home and deep roots in area, including his wife being from Pinellas County.

That was Anzalone’s message on radio. (more…)

Healing newcomer.

So Joe has been wrestling with writing about the Bucs signing former Steelers special teams stud Miles Killebrew last week.

The guy turns 33 soon and had major knee surgery in late October. (more…)

Lavonte David comparison.

Whoa, hold up! (more…)

Joe is sharing this post for the growing numbers of moping Bucs fans. (more…)

Damning.

It would be one thing for Jamel Dean to say he left the Bucs because he felt his last chance to win another ring is getting away from the team where he won his first ring. (more…)

Not over til it’s over.

Keep hope alive? (more…)

Upgrade.

For the first couple of years Rachaad White was with the Bucs, it drove Joe bananas how White had terrible vision. (more…)

Free agent and former All-Pro Bills linebacker Matt Milano.

A friend of Todd Bowles was not selling the virtues of SirVocea Dennis last week. (more…)

Jamel Dean is always smiling. So it’s understandable that the former Bucs cornerback looked to be a very happy man with his new three-year, $36 million contract. (more…)

New Bucs edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad.

As Joe has stated, it’s strange that at the age of 30, new Bucs edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad had his first season with more than six sacks. In 2025, he totaled 11 sacks for the Lions. (more…)

Bucs RB Kenneth Gainwell.

When Joe first learned the Bucs agreed to terms with Kenneth Gainwell during the opening hour or so of legal tampering, Joe thought that was a nice signing: A quality running back who contributes on special teams and is sort of Rachaad White-like in that he’s a solid receiver out of the backfield. (more…)

New Bucs backup QB Jake Browning.

Jake Browning doesn’t know Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield personally. But the way he spoke Friday to the Tampa Bay pen and mic club in a Zoom conference, Browning figured if the Bucs were good enough for Mayfield, the Bucs were good enough for him. (more…)
