Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor.

So Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht traded down and made 23-year-old Vita Vea a first-round pick back in 2018, when it was still common for 21-year-olds to be in the draft pool.

Yesterday, Buccaneers co-owner Joel Glazer directly addressed the faction of Bucs fans that wanted to see Todd Bowles relieved of his duties this year.

After Joe asked Glazer to speak to those fans, there was more discussion on 2026 expectations and Bowles. [read more]
