I go back to the point others have made. How was our GM supposed to see into the future and predict injuries? Price was the Pac10 defensive player of the year and was expected to go late in the first round. He was the star of training camp his rookie year before he got hurt. How could someone have predicted that? To say we got nothing for Winslow simply isn’t true. We got three productive seasons (which detractors seem to ignore completely) and a late round draft pick in exchange for a second round pick – not great but not bad. T-Jax was drafted by the previous regime and it initially looked like their best value pick ever – an immediate starter as a 5th round pick. Out new GM let him walk prior to his probable lifetime ban. Jeez, fans of every team love to rag on their GM as if they know better. We’ve got a pretty good one. Now, if Freeman and a healthy McCoy don’t work out, I’ll admit I’m wrong.

Look its simple. Dom is in compliance with the way Greg wants his team to behave. Dom isn’t afraid to cut his guys. Dom admits a mistake and gets draft picks from them before its too late. Its not like we knew the end result of getting these three guys would be this or we wouldn’t have bothered with them. I say this is a good thing and not a bad thing… these guys might have started for the Bucs under Rah but this is a new team under Schiano

I believe that the biggest problem for TJax was not knowing how to deal with an addiction. Now I’ve never heard of anyone truly being addicted to weed, but he obviously was in some way. I believe for Tanard, that he just wasn’t in the right environment and didn’t have the support group to help him stay straight. Then again, maybe he just didn’t want to, but when someone gets in trouble for breaking rules and they are continuously rewarded for doing it, there is no reason to stop. It’s a lot like giving an alcoholic money, and then telling him not to buy beer or vodka. Raheem is a fool and he should have invested more time in his charge. I’m not a big blame guy but I can’t help but believe Raheem knew what he was getting into and he didn’t take care of bidness. At least the Cowboys are providing baby sitters for Dez Bryant, and at his expense. Hard to believe rich grown men can’t take care of themselves.

It would be nice if some of the haters gave props……..

I mean, I was all for Okoye, but it is obvious that he can’t perform.

I would love for them to re-sign Brian Price but they just can’t afford a future project, they need depth now.

It was obvious to MANY of us last year that K2 had to go… kudos to Schiano and Mark D for doing it.

And TJAX… I thought he had his head out of his A$$$ and would show up this year…. guess not. Again, kudos to coach and Mark D.

So Dominik came on top because he traded 2 players for a bag of skittles? (Yeah yeah 2 7th round picks that will not make our team) On the positive side we got rid of two useless players that didn’t fit our locker room (winslow and jackson) and one who couldn’t play (price)

I’m going to go out on a limb and state that Dominik has no role in roster moves. Schiano definitely has all the say in roster cuts/signings. Dominik just writes out the contracts and then runs them by Schiano to make sure it is just the way he wants it.

@capt jean.
What are you saying? One fan can’t make a difference. Soooo, the Capt. Thing really means something to who? LMAO cut them some slack, Bucs history is what it is but they are my team REGARDLESS. Proud when they won their first game,(at New Orleans) their first NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and first of many SUPERBOWLS. So many transplants down there.

Until Dom drafts a Pro Bowler he’s not a rocks tar GM. Horrible evaluator of talent and has put together a roster devoid of depth. Then you applaud him for dumping players he picked up? And yeah Gruden and Allen drafted T Jack put Doninik is the one who signed him to a extension after 1 game last year.

And don’t forget some of the important NON free agent signings. Cadillac Williams wasn’t resigned last season and is now out of the league.

Barrett Ruud wasn’t resigned last season and lost his job to a rookie 4th rounder in Tennessee, then signed with Seattle and was beat out by a 2nd rounder and then traded to New Orleans where nobody is available or healthy at MLB and he still won’t be starting there.

Also, they didn’t resign Josh Johnson and he got cut hy his college coach and was ousted in favor of an undrafted free agent in Scott Tolzien.

Mark Dominik is the third worse GM in football behind Jeff Ireland and Bruce Allen… All these guys being released were costly draft pics…. What are you laughing at? That we wasted second round draft pics on Winslow, Price and Benn and Bowers? Or that we wasted first round pics on Freeman and McCoy? Sciano is taking over the personnel decisions and Dominik needs to go work for Men’s Warehouse as a model… WHAT A JOKE!!!!

Stupid comment, how do you really know that everyone who comments “IS” a Buccaneer fan? You don’t live in Tampa anymore and you seem to be registered to this site. And like your lowly one ticket would make a difference. If all the comments were goo goo ga ga all the time it would be boring. And if fans and the media were always contrite there would hardly be timely changes made.
So if you actually grew up here, it means you probably have family and some friends still here. Buy them some tickets. You can access ticket master from there too.
