From the brink of winning the Buccaneers’ starting quarterback job one year ago, Kyle Trask is now competing for the N0. 2 job with journeyman John Wolford. (more…)

As many Bucs fans will remember, future Hall of Fame receiver Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins’ star, recently ranked Baker Mayfield as a top-5 NFL quarterback. (more…)

Calijah Kancey and Warren Sapp unite.

So just before the Fourth of July, Von Miller, along with Maxx Crosby, hosted Miller’s Sack Summit in Las Vegas. The annual clinic is just for pass rushers, by pass rushers, to get dudes get paid. (more…)

Big Day 3 for backup quarterback Kyle Trask. That and more in Joe’s on-field practice notes.

Patrolling the fields of One Buc Palace today has yielded Joe’s almost world famous practice notes. Day 3 of training camp is in the books. Remember, it’s not real football yet. Players are not in pads and are not hitting each other. Think flag football with millions of dollars in salary on the line. (more…)

Thirst for Bucs knowledge.

Bucs defensive tackle Greg Gaines is easily an NFL veteran. He’s entering his sixth season, just about double the average NFL career lifespan. (more…)

Bucs RB coach weighs in.

Bucs running backs have been awful at YAC the past two seasons. That seems to fit for the league’s worst rushing attack two years running. (more…)

Rookie receiver Jalen McMillan.

After watching rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan make a freakish catch yesterday for a touchdown in red zone drills, it’s hard for folks not to get excited about the Washington product. (more…)

Ira Kaufman Podcast listeners already heard about this stunner, but now Joe will bring the exact quotes from Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum. (more…)

ALWAYS ask for the Ira Kaufman discount at Bill Currie Ford, where GM Sean Sullivan will beat any advertised price by $100. Don’t Worry. Drive Currie!

If the biggest issue through two days of training camp is the whereabouts of Randy Gregory, you’re having a whale of a summer.

Look at what’s going on across the rest of the National Football League. (more…)

In case you were wondering what became of the Bucs’ average returner and very meh receiver from the 2023 season, Deven Thompkins, he signed with the Panthers today.

Thompkins had a family dispute made public that raised questions about his behavior around the time the Bucs cut him this spring, but the NFL investigated and it seems Thompkins met the league’s standards of acceptable behavior.

He joins ex-Bucs receiver David Moore (epic catch-and-run touchdown against the Eagles in the playoffs last season) trying to make the Panthers team led by former Tampa Bay playcaller Dave Canales.

Making tough catches… so far.

The Bucs have only had two training camp practices. The pads have yet to come on. And even though Joe should know better than to anoint receivers in underwear football, time to dip a toe into the pool. (more…)

Gave Johnny Football vibes.

One thing Joe noticed so far this week as Bucs training camp opened several players bringing the juice to practice. (more…)

Chris Godwin after Day 2 of training camp.

Eyebrow-raising exchange today at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Todd Bowles

Who’s the hardest offseason worker on the Bucs?

Todd Bowles has an answer. (more…)

Tristan Wirfs

Manbeast left tackle Tristan Wirfs is demanding a contract extension and the Buccaneers want to get one done. So what’s the holdup? (more…)

Offensive coordinator Liam Coen and Baker Mayfield meet during Day 2 of the Bucs’ 2024 training camp.

So in Day 2 of Bucs training camp, though it is early, very early, Joe suspects there will be a three-way battle for the No. 3 receiver spot, Backup quarterback Kyle Trask improved somewhat from an awful first day of camp, and a high draft pick logged a bunch of reps with the first team.

Again, as a reminder, we’re still in underwear football where hitting is absolutely prohibited. The pads are scheduled to come on Monday, but that is subject to change. (more…)

An iconic Buccaneers Super Bowl figure retired and Joe had to get feedback from other Tampa Bay greats. (more…)

Beastly Bucs edge rusher Yaya Diaby.

Head coach Todd Bowles went out of his way to make a positive example out of second-year edge rusher Yaya Diaby today. (more…)

Chase Edmonds

The guy who might be the Bucs’ second-best running back was on the sidelines today wearing sweatpants and a baseball hat. (more…)

Joe’s got plenty coming from Day 2 of Bucs training camp. Practice wraps up before 11.
