Bucs WR Mike Evans.

Mike Evans admitted it. He dreamed of what could happen with the rest of the NFL drooling over the chance to sign the future Hall of Fame receiver. (more…)

Mike Evans fan.

Jason Licht and Wayne Gretzky walk into a bar… (more…)

Former Bucs receiver Scotty Miller.

Hey, sixth-round picks can be really cool. Scotty Miller, Trey Palmer, Keith Tandy and Mike James are some examples in recent Bucs history. (more…)

Mike Evans was talking today at One Buc Palace. His quarterback (former?) was talking yesterday across the street. (more…)

Plan B.

Jason Licht has a fallback plan ready to roll out if he has to. (more…)

Future Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans thinks he can get significantly better as a player.

After leading the NFL in touchdown catches last season, Joe appreciated Evans explaining today how he’s not done or remotely satisfied. (more…)

Mike Evans had a news conference at One Buc Palace this afternoon to celebrate his new two-year contract signed on Monday. (more…)

So the Bucs brass made something clear at the NFL Scouting Combine last week. They’d like to get bigger on the offensive line. (more…)

Contract chess.

It was a little curious that the Bucs franchised All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield.

Just a little. (more…)

Sleeves rolled up.

Joe always gets a chuckle when hearing references to “working hard” in the NFL. (more…)

Free agent OLB Leonard Floyd.

Joe is not comfortable with the Bucs banking (hoping?) that edge rusher YaYa Diaby is that-guy this fall who will put the Bucs defense on his back and make opposing quarterbacks regularly eat dirt. (more…)

The latest.

Never, ever question Mike Florio’s sources. (more…)

Joe has done plenty of sniffing around as it relates to former Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett.

An iconic Buccaneer for five seasons, Shaq was informed of his Tampa Bay release about two weeks ago. (more…)

No contract for Baker Mayfield yet, which probably means firm limits have been set by the Buccaneers.

That was the message of a seasoned contract guru. (more…)

Joe can’t just toss this aside as a ridiculous rumor for two reasons. (more…)

What would he cost?

Once upon a time, the Bucs were in dire need of a pass rush. You knew it; Joe knew it. Hell, even the head coach (Dirk Koetter) knew it as he barked at Joe at the combine that winter how the Bucs absolutely had to have more sacks if they wanted to win. (more…)

Former Bucs OC weighs in.

Dave Canales is a big Baker Mayfield guy. And Joe doesn’t blame him. (more…)

Free agent center Mitch Morse.

This is for the blame-Robert-Hainsey crowd. (more…)

Update.

Are the Bucs and Baker Mayfield far apart? Are they nearing a deal? Probably five parties truly know: Mayfield, Mayfield’s agent, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht, Mayfield’s wife and Team Glazer. (more…)

Antoine Winfield, Jr.

This intrigues Joe because the guy saying it was at the NFL Scouting Combine talking to Todd Bowles, and he has excellent relationships inside One Buc Palace. (more…)

Any day now.

This waltz between the Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield’s representatives needs to end in a crescendo within the next week. It makes too much sense for both sides heading into the 2024 season. (more…)
