Tristan Wirfs

Buccaneers All-World left tackle/right tackle Tristan Wirfs will earn $21 million this season (if the Bucs don’t make him richer) and his admitted playing weight is about 360 pounds. (more…)

There’s been a soothing feel this March for Todd Bowles.

It’s been a while. (more…)

Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson.

These two groups are just about one and the same. (more…)

Gets props from ex-Bucs guard.

Hey, it isn’t only anal high school math teachers and the PFF tribe who can hand out grades! Others can too. (more…)

Escapes to Jersey.

This was enough for Joe to pull a Bobby Knight and throw a chair. (more…)

“Todd, why did you go there?”

It’s misdirection season in the NFL, but Joe believes the following flashed card has veracity. (more…)

Tight end Cade Otton.

The Buccaneers’ head coach made a power move this month that didn’t get much fanfare.

Joe wrote about it, of course, and asked Bowels to explain himself this week. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN

In a perfect world, Carlton Davis would be credited with one final takeaway for the Buccaneers.

In trading Davis to the Lions two weeks ago, Jason Licht accumulated an extra pick in the third round of next month’s draft. That’s called quality ammo — and Licht needs to be ready and willing to use that draft capital if things fall his way before Tampa Bay’s No. 26 selection in the opening round.

While it’s evident the Bucs have holes to fill at edge rusher and the interior of their offensive line, there’s a chance one of the cleanest prospects in the draft makes it through the first half of the first round. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Gratitude.

Once upon a time, Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht said he desired to build the kind of organization and sustained success former Bucs GM Rich McKay had from the mid-1990s until he departed in 2003.

Licht now has 10 years in the books, so Joe felt compelled to ask Team Glazer to reflect on that reality this week. (more…)

Bucs playing “The Grinch?”

Aside from Bucs coach Todd Bowles who sincerely doesn’t seem to give a flip what anyone says, writes or hollers about his team — he’s much more concerned with wins and losses — privately and publicly the Bucs are aggravated about the team’s perception. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Joe thinks he has solved this riddle of why so many NFL observers are shrugging their shoulders and yawning at the Bucs’ offseason. At the same time, Bucs types are irked why folks aren’t giving them props. (more…)

Duke OL Graham Barton.

OK offensive line haters. Get ready for another war with Joe. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Are the Bucs on the cusp of having another lockdown defense under Todd Bowles? Almost conflicting stats from last year point to the Bucs possibly having a strong defense this year. (more…)

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

Joe is now so desperate for the Bucs to find an edge rusher, Joe is dumpster diving on other team’s rosters trying to find someone, anyone, who can get to a quarterback. (more…)

Florida State edge rusher Jared Verse.

Joe is trying not to start hitting up mock drafts for another few days. The longer Joe waits, the better. (more…)

Center Robert Hainsey.

Joe knows some folks just don’t like Bucs center Robert Hainsey. He’s sort of the new Donovan Smith, a popular fan favorite for years among Bucs fans. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Yesterday the Stinking Panthers signed Jadeveon Clowney. No, Joe didn’t think the Bucs would go after him.

The Bucs had multiple chances to sign Clowney over the years and Joe neither heard no read one report or rumor the Bucs were ever talking turkey with the South Carolina product. (more…)

Liam Coen chatter.

One of the fun things to witness when the Bucs begin OTAs, minicamp and then training camp later this summer will be how the Bucs offense grows. (more…)

“Thanks for the cleanup crew, Mr. Glazer. They got Dave Canales’ hair gel off the coaches’ dressing room floor, too.”

You better believe there’s not one living insect within 80 feet of the Buccaneers’ locker room and the players’ sauna is brand spanking new.

That’s Joe’s interpretation of the emphatic message delivered by Team Glazer yesterday. (more…)

Panthers added edge help.

A 9 1/2-sack guy in the 2023 season will be chasing Baker Mayfield this fall in NFC South action. (more…)
