Bucs Bring Back Tanner Hudson
March 13th, 2020
The shining star of the 2019 Bucs preseason, a man who dropped red zone balls when the real games came around, was re-signed today as an exclusive rights free agent.
The Bucs announced tight end Tanner Hudson will return. He caught two balls for 26 yards last season and first made the Tampa Bay active roster late in the 2018 season.

Freeing up the Benjamins…Bye Bye Brate….
March 13th, 2020 at 3:02 pm
GREAT!!
so who’s the odd man out?…OJ or brate?
GO BUCS!!!!

Camp meat. Development at best. Other dudes stay.
March 13th, 2020 at 3:08 pm
There will be plenty of Tight Ends that will not get drafted. Thats how they got Brate.
March 13th, 2020 at 3:09 pm
Dude catches just about everything but problem is BA doesnt care about that, if you cant block you wont play so hope that is your focus this offseason Hudson

I guess that is it Tom Brady will definitely be signed to a contract.

SWEET

March 13th, 2020 at 3:21 pm

Brate and OJ got to go while we can still get value for them. If not, they will be underutilized here until they are free to walk without compensation.
Just sign some blocking TEs and go get some draft picks for these guys.
March 13th, 2020 at 3:31 pm
So the one position we utilize rhe least we resign a thrid or 4th string dude who cant block. Wow….
March 13th, 2020 at 3:36 pm
Brate on one side and Hudson on the other side. Like it. Now who is going to be the QB and the coach who calls the plays????

Bucemup
Better than a $7million TE that can’t block.
March 13th, 2020 at 3:38 pm
I like him. He looked damn good in preseason.
Maybe he was just nervous late last season when he was activated.
I mean he effed up a couple of times….. that means he has at least 28 more freebie mistakes right?
We forgive a lot around here don’t we?

This guy was too productive in preseason to be called “camp meat” and I would put him up against OJ Howard until Howard can become a better receiver.
March 13th, 2020 at 4:18 pm
Joe did Brady approve this move
March 13th, 2020 at 4:56 pm
SuperBowl here we come!!! lol

This tells me they’re ready to move on from either OJ or Brate, whichever one they get the best value for – but one of them is going to go. My money is on OJ being the one leaving. Auclair, Brate, and Hudson will fit just fine in this offense. I would consider this an obvious sign that Hudson has improved his blocking to the satisfaction of Bruce Arians.
OJ is going to absolutely light it up in somebody else’s offense where they’re not focusing so much on tight end blocking– and there’s a lot of offenses that need a guy like him. He has way way way more value than Brate imho.

This means Brate is going to be cut, traded or renegotiated. Great move
March 13th, 2020 at 6:37 pm
Mr. Preseason…with apologies to Ryan Griffin. When facing “live bullets” in the regular season, he looked handcuffed/overwhelmed. Perhaps he projects to a Patrick Hape/Todd Yoder type. 🙂
March 13th, 2020 at 6:46 pm
Howard trade coming. Restructure Brate contract.
March 13th, 2020 at 7:03 pm
While he looked great in pre-season. He really hurt himself by dropping a couple of his chances in real games. You really have to hit those early chances, as you’ll only get a couple. He didn’t get much targets after those drops.
March 13th, 2020 at 7:04 pm
Hudson, Leggett, Brate & OJ are all under contract now.
Auclair is a RFA & will be back. (BA has said so)
Writing is on the wall for a Brate &/or OJ move in near future.
(Brate is the obvious roster management candidate. But would not be opposed to moving OJ either.)

Preseason is about to be lit!
March 13th, 2020 at 9:00 pm
Didn’t Jordan Leggett (pride of my local town Navarre) sign another 1 year deal too? I think Brate and his big contract is as good as GONE!
March 13th, 2020 at 10:05 pm
Cool, does that mean that Ryan griffin might be in play next season?
The two of them really lit up the preseason and gave some of us some hope. Maybe this season they might get a real chance. Those flying ducks that Jameis threw were awful.

If we ran an offense that used the TE this would be a nice move. But our TE’s don’t, and for some reason can’t, catch the ball.
Not that I’m complaining mind you – this was the 3rd highest scoring team in the league and blew away all the offensive records, it’s really hard to complain about an offense like that. You know, assuming you’re not a braindead idiot.

Joe
I just saw a picture of pete Carroll standing next to BA…. your boy BA is perfect for bucs. he looks like a rusted out double wide compared to pete who resembles adonis for his age…. bucs scraping the bottom of the barrel once again. This offseason will blow up and go down as one of the worst of franchise history. You know I’m right!!!!

Egos, desperation and short term thinking never works out….
March 13th, 2020 at 11:31 pm
Hudson makes Brate expendable.

The fact brate has bad hips, a bad contract and is 1dimensional that makes brate expendable

Tanner Hudson? Think Fred Pagac with potential of Jim Obradovich.
