I think the talk about signing FAs, is just hay for the sheep.
Expect them to stay true to their policy of the last 7 years.- cheapest franchise in football- both in player payroll and coaching staff salary!

Think that’s per Glazer marching orders.

I think you are partially right. I think we will go after a few mid-level guys. We need depth.

But I also strongly suspect we’ll try to get 1-2 top tier guys…or one top tier and one above average guy.

I could see us going after both Nicks AND Vincent Jackson…and if we got both, I would be very happy.

Dominick has repeatedly said it’s about Josh…I think that points free agency toward offended.

Penn Is a ProBowl Tackle, and our best lineman. Possibly our best player.

Why would anyone even consider him moving? And if we drafted Kalill, we would hope and pray he becomes a ProBowl left tackle- like , Say, Donald Penn!!

Not to mention that Penn is payed like a great LT, which is way mire than you pay Rts! And why would he move to a lower paid position??

@Pete

I agree, Molk is a beast. I may be a bit biased but I have watched all of his games for the last four years and I can tell you the guy is really good. Would love to have him with the Bucs. (He put up 41 reps at the combine, anything but a finesse player)

@ Michigan and Pete

I know we have to spend. What I am saying is there is no way we pay Nicks $60 mil with already having Joseph and I would be shocked if we get an A level free agent. We will spend our money on B and C guys to make up that cap room. I am not going to get my hopes up, with zero history to back it up. Dominick’s comments today are encouraging. I pray I am wrong.

PFT raised an interesting point about both Nicks and Brees being represented by CAA. It would obviously be more beneficial to them for Brees to be franchised which would be the best case scenario for us if we want Nicks.

Adding Carl Nicks would be incredible. While I don’t think we have nearly as bad a line as some on here would say, you can’t go wrong adding a guy like Nicks. Make him the highest paid player in the league, I don’t care. Just get him.

Michigan center David Molk sounds like Warren Sapp when he runs his mouth…I kind of like it, lol.
_____________________
“The fact they could consider any center better than me is pretty stupid,” Molk said.

NFL Network’s Mike Mayock recently called Molk “very much a finesse guy,” and Molk took issue with that.

“He never played against me,” Molk said of Mayock. “I don’t think a finesse player has ever had defensive linemen quit during a game; quit and give up because you’re hurting them. I don’t think a finesse player has ever done what I do, which is just ground kids out of the hole. I think the fact he called me a finesse player is because he hasn’t watched me on film.”

________________________

If everyone really wants Faine replaced…and there is no chance we can get Konz with our 2nd pick…maybe we should consider this guy.

I remember Sapp talking much the same way when he was approaching the draft. Having attitude like that on the Oline would be…interesting.

Him I would take over keeping Faine.

941Buc,

they basically have no choice. Not this coming season but the one after it every team has to spend something like 90-95% of their salary cap space. They are so far under right now it would be shocking if they didn’t at least cut the difference in half this off-season. They are going to be spending money, regardless of want or need.
______________________________

Not only that…if they wait until next year to start spending, it will make most contracts come up for renewal at around the same time…a recipe for disaster if the team is good by then.

Here’s something interesting. PFT is reporting that the real cap number isn’t actually known by teams yet…and that all appearances now look like it will be lower than expected. All these teams, a week from Free Agency, that think they’re in line with the cap may not be.

So more players could end up being cut loose.

I would love Nicks as our LG!!! Nicks LG, Joseph RG, Zuttah C, Penn LT/RT, if Mo is gone I would hope to get an OT the more I think about it. If Kalil is there then him for sure. If he is gone then Reily Reiff would do just fine. If we were to somehow get Kalil he could be our LT and we could move Penn to RT. Talk about the most dominate line in football!!! We have to find a replacement for Trueblood. IF we don’t get a LT early in the 1st then we could look for a true RT later on in the draft.
