If they don’t bring back Barber, I hope he retires. I don’t want him to come back to Tampa in another uniform like lynch and sapp did and kick our ass.

I can hear the Ronde haters drumming the message that Ronde has been tackeled and put out of the game by father time. May I just remind them of the very decent stats he continues to put in the history book. He certainly has another year in him, but the decision is his to make. Please Dominic, be true to your word and don’t pull a double cross on this dedicated Buccanner Man.

Joe has tons more. He’s trying to spread it out for the next few weeks, certainly until free agency starts and maybe into April.

Tons of stuff.

Thanks for the compliments. Hope you like it.

Stevek. I agree with you a 100 percent I think there’s some good talent in the 2nd and 3rd round picking up khassem Greene and maybe carringer defensive end out of Florida state both in the second would he nice and in the third a guy like s.Thomas from Syracuse would be perfect to replace barber

Veteran leadership is worth $omething. This team does not have enough leaders and for the right price bring him back for sure if he’s on board.

I’m sticking by my gut feeling that Barber is done. The late season collapse, especially the Eagles debacle, crushed him and sealed this fate in my opinion ( again, just my take ). What a fantastic career if so…

I think Ronde comes back for one more year, his last one.

I would love to see us trade back and get a bunch or 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks. We can take BPA/need/risk with a higher quantity of picks, ideal in a draft with a deep pool of CBs “3 rounds deep? Doing this will lessen the risk on honey badger.

Just go after WR’s and RB’s….a CB or two.

Poker faces guys.

@macabee

I don’t think it’s fair to compare the Gonzalez situation to Barber’s. Gonzalez stated prior to the season it would be his last and never changed his tune even after the last game. Therefore, I feel the public “Begging” for Gonzales to return is a good play by the chickens.

I respect the way the Bucs have treated Ronde over the last few years. I hope he comes back to help with the influx of new and YOUNG DB’s the team will draft or sign.

@Joe great stuff from the combine. thank you!

The Atlanta Falcons genuinely want Gonzalez back. Is this the laid-back approach they’re taking? No! They are actively and openly recruiting Gonzalez to come back.

The Bucs are making a all for dignity here. They want Ronde to make this call, but they want him to make the right call that’s a win win for both parties. They believe Ronde knows what the right call should be!
