The Countdown: 20 Worst Buccaneers Personnel Moves Of The Past 10 Years — No. 5

July 25th, 2015

Darrelle Revis 1125It’s the countdown feature you’ve all been waiting for. Not really, but on the heels of last year’s award-winning “20 Worst Buccaneers Of The Past 10 years” feature, Joe had to deliver.

A list like this is highly subjective and toxic. Fits of rage were common during production meetings at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Scared interns soiled their pants. Full beer bottles were smashed, and a treasured Rachel Watson poster was accidently destroyed. But order was restored.

Current and former general managers and head coaches might not like what’s coming, but it had to be done. This is what happens when your team is 30-70 in its last 100 games.

No. 5 — Cutting Darrelle Revis

Don’t try to convince Joe that releasing a surefire Hall of Fame player in his prime is ever a wise move.

It’s not.

Spin cutting Revis however you wish. He should have been an impact difference-maker for the Bucs for years — in a division with superstar quarterbacks and receivers.

The Bucs specifically stated they cut Revis in order to have money to buy more free agents. Think about that lunacy.

And please don’t tell Joe that Revis wasn’t a good fit for Lovie Smith’s defense. Adjust, Lovie, it’s what good coaches do best.

No. 6 — Anthony Collins

No. 7 — Mark Barron

No. 8 — Da’Quan Bowers (2011 and 2013)

No. 9 — Re-Signing Blocking Icon Michael Clayton

No. 10 — Eric Wright

No. 11 — Michael “Ghost” Johnson

No. 12 Sabby The Goat

No. 13 — Free Agent Inactivity After 10-6, 2010 Season

No. 14 — Scaredy Cat Dexter Jackson

No. 15 — Firing Jon Gruden

No. 16 — Choosing — And Drafting For — The Jim Bates Defense

No. 17 — Drafting Cadillac Williams Over DeMarcus Ware

No. 18 — Garrett Gilkey: Virgin Center

No. 19 — Cutting Chris Jones

No. 20 — Failing on Brett Favre trade

  1. -Alexstotle00 Says:

    Hate the move still. This is why we are the joke of the NFL

  2. The Buc Realist Says:

    I do wish that Lovie had kept Revis, But not because of his play!! Revis would have lit up Lovie’s defense and game plans after each lost. After the game it would be the lovie roast starring Darrell Revis!!

  3. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    Revis was most likely cut because he didn’t want to play in the current defensive system. He also is a real cry baby when things don’t go his way. He never wanted to be here so I say good riddens!

  4. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    And also this was a terrible move to begin with! Would have been better off keeping are draft picks.

  5. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    In hindsight….we could have the team we have now plus Revis….it was a bad deal to begin with but it was made even worse by cutting him. Revis has several really good years left….expensive, but worth it.

  6. Tom Edrington Says:

    Revis did not want to be here……..

    simple as that.

  7. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    * our draft picks… Lol I’m so stupid

  8. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    I would rather go 0-16 then have a cry baby like Revis who probably mocks and thinks he is better then my home city of Tampa. Let that New York loving pice of garbage say he hated it here after making 16 mill. What a A Hole! This is the type of player you want? Really Joe?

  9. Tampa Tony Says:

    Trading top picks for damaged goods, and basically being the only bidder but giving up that much? Come on Joes, you are better than that. What franchise gives up premium picks for a injured player? One run by Dominik.

    But I do agree Lovie needs to adjust his system to the talent he has. If not he’s gone

  10. P'cola Buc Says:

    Never thought Revis wished to be a Buccanner but came to Tampa to rehab and collect his 16 million to do so. He appeared distant and aloof towards his teammates and the community. He has become “a gun for hire”… It’s as simple as that. I’d rather cheer on a player who truly wishes to be a Buccaneer.

  11. Mike10 Says:

    Hated the signing but hated the release almost as much. This was another one example of L + L making players from a previous regime expendable, simply because they were not their pick up.

  12. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    Hey Joe, you can be critical of the head coach or not but Lovie has forgotten more about defense then you will ever know! Im so sick of your negativity Joe. Your site is cool in all but you don’t know more then a proven NFL coach. You guys can now begin to blast me.

  13. Joe Says:

    Hey Joe, you can be critical of the head coach or not but Lovie has forgotten more about defense then you will ever know! Im so sick of your negativity Joe. Your site is cool in all but you don’t know more then a proven NFL coach. You guys can now begin to blast me.

    So Joe should laud the praises of a guy who ran the team into the ground? Joe should lobby that Lovie Smith should be in the Hall of Fame after his team was one of the worst in Bucs history?

    Joe calls it like he sees it and frankly Joe has been rather easy on Lovie given one of the worst coaching jobs in recent memory. Can you think of one move that Lovie made that actually worked last year?

    If all you want is rah-rah news Joe suggests you bookmark Buccaneers.com where you will be hard-pressed to find out that the Bucs lost 14 games under this modern day-Chuck Noll.

    Don’t get mad at Joe. He’s not responsible for 14 losses.

  14. Joe Says:

    What franchise gives up premium picks for a injured player? One run by Dominik.

    If Revis was so injured, you might want to tip off Belicheat. Apparently, Belicheat was dumb enough to sign a guy with damaged goods last year, too. How’d that work out for him?

  15. P'cola Buc Says:

    @ WyomingBucsFan
    I agree with you…he did come across as if the Buccaneers and the City of Tampa Bay were beneath him. If he remained I feel he would not have given his full 100% even after he was rehabilitated. I don’t believe he would have ever bought into the team. We need to build a team to be united and regain a sense of pride in itself. I believe Revis would never have been a good fit.

  16. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    Your right Joe, I apologize. I appreciate your hard work and enjoy this site!!

  17. Joe Says:

    WyomingBucsFan:

    No problem, man.

  18. Mike10 Says:

    Agree w your first response joe, not the second.

    A. You have taken it easy on Lovie as every move he made last year blew up in his face. We are literally still paying some players to not play here, the big man hand picked.

    B. Two different years you’re referring to, as one year changed revis’ health and the cost to acquire him. When the Jets wanted Revis out, we were the only team in the running to compensate both the Jets and Revis w what they wanted, and I don’t think It’s because we were the smartest person in the room

  19. Dusthty Rhothdes Says:

    I differ with your opinion on ever getting revis in tampa, but once he is here, best words ever lovie needs to adapt, which seems like the new trend of everywhere running a hybrid defense…. speaking of… SEC Network this week saw several LSU games and kwon alexander looks like a stud… he looks like a clone of lavonte… where the hell is he going to play?

  20. The Buc Realist Says:

    “If Revis was so injured, you might want to tip off Belicheat. Apparently, Belicheat was dumb enough to sign a guy with damaged goods last year, too. How’d that work out for him?”

    I don’t remember Belicheat handing out a 1st round with a 3rd/4th round pick, plus 4 million less, with the advantage of watching 16 games of tape the year before instead of 14 games of IR!!!

    It makes me sad that Joe does not know the deference in a great “rent” a player and a Great team building player. If the Bucs were on the “verge” to break down the last barrier it would have been a great move. If you are building a team, not so much!

    That is why you do not understand that Winslow was a bad trade as well, Great player, great production, But terrible as you are building a team!!!

  21. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    Lol @ Buccaneers.com, I only go there to see the press conferences and video clips.

  22. Buc1987 Says:

    Can’t blame Revis really for not liking Tampa. Though I would never want to live there, some say NYC is the best city in America. Some rave about it. We’ve all heard that from the NY transplants that move down here. As far as action, things to do and nightlife I’m pretty sure NYC blows Tampa out of the water. Then again I’ve never been a real big fan of the area myself, just a fan of the football team.

  23. The Buc Realist Says:

    @joe

    also Belicheat paid 25% less than dominik, while giving up nothing! dominik was fleeced again!!!

  24. Joe Says:

    also Belicheat paid 25% less than dominik, while giving up nothing! dominik was fleeced again!!!

    Eh. When someone shows Joe x-amount of dollars spent = y-record, Joe will start paying attention to salaries.

    So the Bucs saved salary cap space last year. What was the record again?

  25. The Buc Realist Says:

    Joe Says:
    July 25th, 2015 at 10:28 am

    “So the Bucs saved salary cap space last year. What was the record again?”

    About the same as it would have been with Revis on the roster!!!!

  26. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    You will see a different team this year Joe. There was a true conspiracy going on last year in a effort to get Winston.

  27. Buc1987 Says:

    Realist…I’m practically on the same page as you. If a team is on the verge of something great then you go after a big name FA. Like Simeon Rice for instance. Then again the 2012 Buc secondary was atrocious and the team did go 7-9 that season. I actually felt Revis might have been the difference maker. Then again they let go of Bennett and had virtually no pass rush. Revis might have been that difference maker had they had a decent pass rush.

    I don’t know though. I kind of think letting him go was far worse of a deal than picking him up. As we stand right now. How much of a help would he have been on that 2-14 squad from last season? Probably not much because 2-14 is not exactly on the verge of anything. It would simply be wasting money to pay someone with his elite skills and getting maybe what 2 extra wins. Yipee 4-12? No thanks.

    It’s just that if you already got the guy in the building and you gave up that much to get him. I think you keep him for atleast 2-3 years.

  28. Buc-A-New Says:

    YEAH BECAUSE CUTTING A PLAYER WHO HAAAAAATTTTTTEEEEEEEEDDDDDD IT HERE IS A BAD THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    SMDH

  29. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    Going in to the year I don’t think they planed to tank the season, but after about week 5 they cut bait and tanked. I’m sure of it! It was also the right thing to do for a change.

  30. Buc1987 Says:

    Yes I realize I just got through talking in circles, but the matter is that complicated. Perhaps if he didn’t command such a high salary it would be much easier to figure out rather than talking in circles.

  31. Buclife Says:

    L and L are still taking out Dominik and Shiano’s trash they have to clean up this mess it takes time. Did they make free agent mistakes trying for the quick fix? Yup but the difference here is they cut their losses and moved on. It takes a bit of time to fix this mess can’t do it in one year. Realist loved to blast Dominik for all his mistakes but expects L and L to fix things in one season. Hate to say it but sometimes you have to take things apart to fix them. I will wait to build a good team for the duration not just a one year wonder. Just saying.

  32. Dusthty Rhothdes Says:

    wyoming buc… they absolutely didnt plan on tanking… lovie and licht made 10 of the ABSOLUTE worst personnel decisions in buc history that caused them to be 2-14 and tank one game the last

  33. Mike10 Says:

    Salary cap is only $3 mil more this year than last. The difference is $22 mil in dead money compared to $13 mil last year, in addition to McCoy getting a much fatter check.

  34. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    If they only tanked the last game then explain why they went back to McClown at QB and didn’t stay with Glennon.

  35. Buc1987 Says:

    Another thing is I had season tickets that season and I saw more damn Revis jersey’s than Freeman jersey’s. Fans were pumped up about having Revis. If your team already sucks and you get rid of a player that many fans bought a jersey of just to go backwards from the year before. I think you would piss off quite a bit of fans.

  36. Buccfan37 Says:

    I agree Joe, you have treated Lovie’s tenure mostly kindhearted thus far. That seems a smart approach. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. On the Reavis deal, I actually liked him prior to coming to the Bucs, with Pitt mostly. I agree with posters who think he showed he didn’t want to be here, only came for the payoff. I don’t judge him too harshly, nor your support of him.

  37. Buc1987 Says:

    WyomingBucsFan…I’m with you on that. The mere fact the McClown was still starting WAS the tank job. I just feel bad for the fans that bought tickets to watch that garbage as I know 2013 was pretty painful for me to watch as well. 2014 must have been just miserable walking into and out of that stadium.

  38. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    the only freeagent signing the bucs goofed on was McCown. Johnson was a productive player that should have produced. I think he just turned out to be very blockable last year for reasons that are not completely obvious to fans with limited film to view.

  39. Dusthty Rhothdes Says:

    They went back to mclown to save face to try and show us the fans and the media that they knew what they were doing and that mclown was a great signing… just cemented that L&L thus far have no clue…and glennon is no great alternative…. and by not getting a proven NFL coach to run the offense from day 1 screwed stuff up to where the bucs are now staring at 6-10

  40. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    I agree that Glennon is not a great alternative. I still remember Glennon in his rookie season running out of bounds 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage, taking us out of field goal range on forth down instead of throwing the ball away. A obvious attempt to save his completion percentage. Ever sense that guttless play I have never been a fan of him.

  41. Buccfan37 Says:

    1987… I agree with your comment that there really isn’t much to get excited about living in the Tampa Bay area. Sort of like the Eagles song, “you can check out anytime, but you can never leave” or something like that. At least for this hillbilly-like homer. You are in the deep south man, and one day the south and the Bucs are going to do it again.

  42. Tampa Tony Says:

    If Revis was so injured, you might want to tip off Belicheat. Apparently, Belicheat was dumb enough to sign a guy with damaged goods last year, too. How’d that work out for him?

    My response- Bill B got Revis well over a year after the injury. Dom traded for the injured player, and was the only serious trade partner.

  43. drdneast Says:

    I said at the time I liked Revis and hough he was good but not 16 million good. The Patriots didn’t either. Don’t think the Jets are paying him that muche either. In fact, no one wanted him for that much when we tried to trade him.
    Really don’t see where he would have made that much of a difference here last year anyway.
    The stupid move was acquiring an over priced rehabbing CB for a 1st round pick in the first place by your buddy the Rock Star. That and overpaying him which the Dummynick loved to do was the stupid move.
    The Bucs need a better pass ush, not better CBs.
    Schiano and the Dummy are the only two people I ever knew who be lived you could build from the back to the front and we’re on record saying it.
    Stupid!

    “They went back to mclown to save face to try and show us the fans and the media that they knew what they were doing and that mclown was a great signing…”

    That’s one way of looking at. It’s either that or they were tanking. I guess we might find out who’s right or wrong come this season. If the coach and the team does a 180 and the team looks remarkably better from last season. The tank conspiracy theorists like me might be right. If not and they still look just as bad. Then Lovie and the coaching staff truly does suck.

  45. mac Says:

    Revis DID NOT deserve to be paid $16 million per season… He wasn’t going to play for this crappy franchise for less…

    Besides if we keep Revis its conceivable that we lose Winston…

  46. Dusthty Rhothdes Says:

    Buc1987….. thats good stuff!! Friggin Koetter has to be good for 1-2 wins i hope over the crap last year…. im guessing he is extremely knowledgeable to clean up I hope that crappy OL

  47. LargoBuc Says:

    I cant knock us bringing in Revis. He spent all spring rehabbing and was plugged in week one. All season he was never fully healthy, yet his 75% was still better than most corners 110%. He played well. Sire you can argue that Schiano used him wrong. But however he was used, he was still by far the best corner on our team.
    Then after the season, we made it through year one. The “rehab” year was done. We now had a fully healthy Revis under contract. But then…we cut him! Which is a little disapointing at the time. But now in hindsight, when three of the four players we brought in with the extra cap space from cutting him, are no longer here after one year?!? You cut Darrele Revis for that! Thats borderline unforgivable! And that led to us bringing in, among others, Josh Mccown, which was my number one gripe with Lovie last season! I knew Mccown wouldnt work out. I said it several times last Summer. But my goodness. Even I didnt forsee THAT! We cpuld have kept the core of Schianos team together, which mind ypu was pretty talented. But no. We cut a healthy Revis to bring in complete Garbage. Im a fan of Lovie. But I can defend that for a second. And I think Revis would fit great with all the cover three our defense ran. And do I think Revis would roast Lovie every week? I dont know but I know that, unlike Schiano, Lovies players dont hate his guts!

  48. tickrdr Says:

    The only “tank” I saw was in the last game, and in fact I believe that New Orleans was ALSO trying to tank that game as well. They had absolutely nothing to gain by winning, and also knew the consequences of a Buc win vs. a Buc loss to their draft position etc.

    If they were “tanking” earlier:

    Why would you spend millions of dollars signing free agents, rather than let your weaker players continue to play.

    Why would you let your best players, return to the field after injuries which would limit their play and possibly lead to further injury, such as ME13 after his hamstring injury, or McCoy and VJax playing with broken hand/wrist?? Why not just claim bad luck and say the injury bug ruined our season?

    Why would you claim your team is “on the verge” of turning it around because you had so many close games? Rather they would not take a chance that somehow they would pull out one of those close games……… e.g. maybe the refs miss the fact you had 12 men on the field, and you actually get to attempt a game-winning field goal, or maybe Mike Evans gets to the sidelines in time for a FG try. If that is how they were tanking, then they are TRULY incompetent.

    Lastly, how do you look your players in the eye, if you aren’t even trying to win for a whole season? Why should any of them play hard or risk injury? Why not have the whole team just phone it in like Michael Johnson?

    They likely tanked the last game but played poorly and were quite poorly coached for the other 15 games! Just my humble opinion.

    tickrdr

  49. Dusthty Rhothdes Says:

    tickdr, good eval on season im with you they didnt tank they just made the absolute worse personnel decisions leading into 2014

  50. Pickgrin Says:

    The reasoning for releasing Revis who was grossly overpaid and didn’t want to be here was logical. – Get 3 starters at positions of great need for the price of 1 highly talented, yet malcontented CB.

    Unfortunately Johnson and Collins both turned out to be total slugs who only came here for the $ – and Verner has not yet reached his potential in this Defense. If Johnson and Collins had been solid players for the Bucs – then that decision would have been hard to question – but it didn’t work out with either of those FAs – so the move looks bad in retrospect.

    Dom’s desperate decision to give up 1st and 3rd round picks for an injured Revis with no one else at the bargaining table when he would be a FA the following year AND paying him $16M per year every year was a far worse decision than L&L’s of walking away from the grossly overpaid player who didn’t want to be here anyway. Dom had plenty of other decent and affordable FA cornerback options to choose from that year.

  55. Joe Says:

    What three starters did the Bucs get for this Pro Bowler fans claim didn’t want to be here? You talking about McClown, Ghost and Collins? Yeah, what a steal.

    All Joe has to say is that Alterraun Verner ought to be giving a piece of his salary to those Three Stooges because if not for them, people would be focusing on how Verner hasn’t come close to earning his salary. A hobbled Revis was better.

    Joe dealt with Revis several times never can he use the word “malcontent.” Shoot, he was (and still is) Banks’ personal CB coach. Ghost, Collins, Mankins? Yeah, Joe could use the word “malcontent” with them, although from what Joe hears Mankins has had a change of heart.

  56. Buc1987 Says:

    I”f they were “tanking” earlier:”

    “Why would you spend millions of dollars signing free agents, rather than let your weaker players continue to play”

    tickrdr…no one said they were tanking from the get go. I think they realized that somewhere around week 5, 6 or 7 that they should just start tanking.

    “On the verge” = coach speak

  57. Buc1987 Says:

    This is also MY opinion and I’m sticking to it. No one has to agree with it. It’s what works for me. It was my opinion mid-season as I was saying it on here…. in mid season.

    Like I said, we’ll see if they do a 180 as far as in game decisions and play calling. I’m just not ready to believe that Lovie is THAT incompetent.

  58. Jimmy Says:

    You guys are something else, whining about Revis being overpaid.

    How many playoff games has the Little Mermaid played in at defensive tackle? People are always saying the Little Mermaid needs help. You never read that about Suh.

    You claim Revis was a malcontent. What about crybaby Lavonte David? Boo hoo, I can’t get named to a Pro Bowl. Boo hoo, the Bucs won’t pay me like Justin Houston. Grow a sack and wins some games!

    Revis has played in three AFC title games and won a Super Bowl. The Little Mermaid has only played on one winner and Softie was hurt. Crybaby has never played for a winner in the NFL.

    If anyone is overpaid, it is the Little Mermaid.

  59. Buc fan Says:

    One overpriced cornerback isn’t going to win you a Super Bowl

  60. Pickgrin Says:

    Revis was only a Buccaneer in 2013 because he had no choice in the matter. If he had wanted to be here and help to build this team into a winner – than he still would be. Had he agreed to play for the Bucs for what New England paid him last year – the Bucs would have likely been glad for him to stay.

    I don’t blame Revis and his decision to go to NE because he did earn a Super Bowl ring. And malcontent is probably too strong of a word – Darrelle is a true professional and never said a negative word publicly while he was here. But you could tell he did not really want to be playing for the Buccaneers.

  61. Buc1987 Says:

    “Revis has played in three AFC title games and won a Super Bowl. The Little Mermaid has only played on one winner and Softie was hurt. Crybaby has never played for a winner in the NFL. ”

    Yes Jimmy for teams that already had a roster full of talent. Much unlike the Bucs. No need to have a player of Revis caliber and salary just to get the same W/L results.

  62. Tom S. Says:

    Such a dumb argument by Joe. So Lovie Smith ran the Bucs into the ground? Is that so. So the 28-52 5-year record of incompetence by Mark Dumbinik immediately preceding Lovie’s first year in Tampa had nothing to do with the bad record? This was a good team on the verge? Is that the case? We just needed to hold on to Revis and Mike Glennon was going to take us to the promise land?

  63. Joe Says:

    Such a dumb argument by Joe. So Lovie Smith ran the Bucs into the ground? Is that so.

    Who was coaching last year?

    Who was the guy who made all of those roster moves, every one of them backfired?

    What was the team’s record last year?

    Say what you want about Schiano and Dominik, their teams never earned the first pick in the draft.

  64. The Buc Realist Says:

    I agree with Joe, not only did Lovie ran this team into the ground, he set it on fire, parked a gabage truck on top and then dropped a bomb on it!! that is how bad it looked last year!!!

    I have a question with all the “tanked the year” theorists, Why did the team look worse when they were trying to win??? why did the play looked much improved when the “tanking” supposedly started and finished the year???

    (excluding the last game where it looked like 2 little league teams that the loser had the summer off and the winner had to play the summer league!!!)

  65. Joe Says:

    I have a question with all the “tanked the year” theorists, Why did the team look worse when they were trying to win??? why did the play looked much improved when the “tanking” supposedly started and finished the year???

    LOL The one game they tried to lose on purpose, they damned near won. Had to put outright stiffs in the game in the second half to make sure they didn’t screw the pooch.

  66. tickrdr Says:

    @BucRealist:

    Well said! I was at that New Orleans game, as I was for everyone of the losses at home. Drew Brees had guys wide open that he missed by five yards. That game was awful. At least those Club Seats only cost $195 apiece.

    @Buc 1987:
    What about my comment about returning injured players to the lineup. Why risk further injury to them, and then simply say the injury bug destroyed our season?

    tickrdr

  67. Buc1987 Says:

    I’m not one of the ones that said they tanked the entire season from start to finish. Who is btw?

    “What about my comment about returning injured players to the lineup. Why risk further injury to them”

    Like I’ve said in the past that it’s possible last season became a tryout for many players, an evaluation period.

    Look if I’m wrong then we ARE going to suck this season and suck badly. I choose not to think that by using my “tank theory” excuse for how bad they really were. Re-starting McClown is my main reason for the tanking, not that Lovie believed in McClown and wanted to show us why he was on the team.

    We can keep going around and around this merry go round, but I don’t see anyone changing my opinion on it. Just let he season begin already.

  68. Buc-A-New Says:

    Glad to c you guys playing nicely. 🙂

  69. Capt.Tim Says:

    Losing Revis was second worst move in Buc History!!! We let the best cornerback of our generation leave, over money we still had left!! I threw awsy Buc jersys, and ignored the team for months . Wanted to quit them forever.
    Revis was top 5 all time talents – and we let walk- when we needed him desperately. We still need him

    It was the Equivelent of letting Derrick Brooks go, in his prime. Im still furious over it.

    Only worse move was letting Dim GM the team for years

    Capt Tim you wanted to leave the team long before the 2013 season was even over.

    Ladies and gentlemen please do not try to invent negativity on Revis’ part to justify getting rid of him. The contract that Dominik did wasn’t terrible but not nearly as great as the Rockstar thought. Sure, it was nice for the sake of not being burnt by cap dollars if Revis decided to jet, but it also provided zero stability. Saying Revis never wanted to be here is an ignorant assumption. All that man did was dominate and act professional. Let’s not play the sour grapes game because he wanted to get paid like he deserves. The Patriots and now Jets didn’t exactly give him a discount. Blame our front office and Lovie if you want to point fingers but assigning blame to Revis is reckless and immature.
