Josh Grizzard Fired
January 8th, 2026
Gone.
Less than two days after being retained as Bucs coach, Todd Bowles isn’t messing around.
The Bucs have dismissed offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard. This comes from Adam Schefter of ESPN. And Grizzard is not the only offensive coach who must clean out his desk.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis was sent packing.
So the rumors there would be a staff shakeup were not wrong. Now, Joe is wondering, when do the Bucs post the opening for defensive coordinator?
Bowles almost seemed to tip this offensive playcaller move on Monday when he said Grizzard learned things this season he could “take with him.”
January 8th, 2026 at 10:06 am
Scapegoat.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:06 am
Next is the DC, oh wait.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:07 am
Needed to be done, but he has nothing to do with our horrid Defense
January 8th, 2026 at 10:08 am
One and done.
Who is the great offensive mind that going to come to the Bucs to risk his career on Bowles and Baker for ONE season?
Grizz wasn’t that great but how you coach accuracy and catching? The OC cant do it all!
Are the Bucs going to fire some of these underperforming players as well as the coaches?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:08 am
He’ll likely land in Duval lol
January 8th, 2026 at 10:09 am
Had hopes for him as he was the third down guy in the Coen regime. But that didn’t seem to translate. Very much seem to be in over his head. Question is who will we get as OC with a lame duck coach? Unless they build in an ascension to HC as part of the deal.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:09 am
Glazers must have said fire Josh and hire a DC your days of running the defense are over
January 8th, 2026 at 10:10 am
With Bowels only having one more year on his contract, how good of an offensive coordinator are the Bucs going to be able to get? Maybe a washed up one.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:10 am
Should have fired Bowles with everyone else.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:11 am
This is just cop out window dressing unless they bring in a defensive coordinator. It may be warranted if he and Baker weren’t on same page. But if the GM and HC are holding the OC accountable, they darn better do the same on the even worse other side of the coaching ball.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:11 am
THIS HAD TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!
Not Happy Bowles stayed, BUT THIS HAD TO HAPPEN. GRIZZ AINT NO WIZZ.
Finally a sliver of good news……
NOW GET A DC and junk this abomination of a Defense!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:12 am
It’s the right move. The Bucs averaged 20.3 points per game since the bye week. That’s not good enough.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:13 am
Special Teams Coordinator soon to follow? Please.
Offense struggled, yes.
Special Teams was an abomination of epic proportions.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:13 am
I’m sorry. I didn’t know Grizzard coached Special Teams.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:13 am
Wont matter who replaces him with conservative todd in charge…..
January 8th, 2026 at 10:13 am
Special Teams coach should have been the first launched. Also Mr bored needs to be gone
January 8th, 2026 at 10:15 am
2 out of the last 3 OC’s for the Bucs are now head coaches so why wouldn’t you think this would be a destination for a high level, hungry OC? It’s a bridge to getting HC opportunities and if we are all hopeful a bridge to replacing the current HC at some point.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:15 am
LOL…What good coach will come here with Bowles as a lame duck
January 8th, 2026 at 10:16 am
He is the scapegoat. Todd should fire himself. The defense was worse than the offense and had more injuries. Who’s going to want to work for Todd now? The fans hate him. At most he’s got one year left before they s*** can him. He’s a joke, and his ownership is a joke right now. It’s unbelievable how this ownership group is just ignoring the fan base.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:16 am
There is no hope for us. You can make a point that he hired Grizz for the sole purpose to give himself another year
January 8th, 2026 at 10:16 am
Yeah, no kidding.

Exactly! How in the heck was Grizz fired before the ST coach? Stinks of Bowels to me
January 8th, 2026 at 10:16 am
So the house cleaning has begun, but the mop remains old and used up.
But questions remain …
Did the decision to keep Todd Bowles as head coach make the Bucs better?
No!
Did the decision to reward regression make the Bucs better?
No!
Was the decision to keep Bowles in lieu of losing a good chunk of your fan base a logical one?
No!
To the Glazer family: what gives? What was the rationale behind your decision. We fans often pay a sizable sum to support your product.
So, how about some reciprocity by closeting your perpetual reticence for a few minutes and offering up an explanation?
As Chester Nimitz said to Admiral Halsey at Leyte Gulf, “The world wonders!”
January 8th, 2026 at 10:17 am
HIRE DABOLL
January 8th, 2026 at 10:17 am
He was not bad. It’s the special teams coach that really needs to go.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:19 am
Tough business right move. Best of luck to Grizzard.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:19 am
I’m not so sure Josh wasn’t compensating on offense by trying to maintain possession so the defense didn’t have to be on the field… Just a thought. It’s odd that there was such a drastic difference after the bye week. Or because Baker was more injured than we knew…
January 8th, 2026 at 10:20 am
If the ST Coordinator isn’t fired next it will surprise me!!
Of course I’m already surprised so who cares.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:20 am
The fact that he was fired before the ST coordinator is wild AF. Bowles will never change. ST and defensive assistants need to go
January 8th, 2026 at 10:21 am
I bet if the Glazers didn’t have to can the Manchester United coach on Monday that Bowles would be gone.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:21 am
Scapegoat
January 8th, 2026 at 10:21 am
ST coach won’t be fired. He’s a protected class.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:21 am
First guys to go aren’t buddies with Bowles….shocker! You can’t coach accountability and then give the worst coaches a pass. Grizzard was essentially a rookie play caller, he was going to have some growing pains. Our special teams and defensive assistants were all vet coaches yet they failed miserably and get a pass?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:21 am
Come on Joe, everybody knows Todd’s defense is good!! It was his coaches and the players not his soft scheming!! Not his lack of adjusting his scheme to adapt to what the opponents where attacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sarcasm lol)
p.s. shouldn’t the first coach fired be that special teams guy?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:22 am
Can’t believe the Special Teams coach hasn’t been fired. He should’ve been fired after the Houston game week 2. He must have pictures of Todd.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:22 am
Special teams cost the Bucs more wins than the offense & defense put together. That might be a little exaggeration, but not much of one.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:22 am
Go get Matt Nagy or Jay Gruden.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:22 am
It’s hard to know who is responsible for what anymore. Never was any clear accountability this year but the defense was more dissapointing to me than the offense. Had way less injuries to overcome and have sucked for years now
January 8th, 2026 at 10:23 am
Who here would accept Raheem Morris as DC only ? He is a good defensive coach, as evidenced by his absence in 2006 and what happened when he returned in 2007.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:24 am
Well if a successful OC comes in he is almost guaranteed a HC job.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:24 am
Here come Leftwich?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:24 am
So they fired the white guy…shocking
January 8th, 2026 at 10:25 am
Feel kind of sorry for Grizzard, he should have never been promoted to a position that he had no experience in. Kind of stupid on the Bucs part. ST has to go along with the secondary and LB coaches. If the Bucs dont get a DC it will be extremely disappointing.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:25 am
Special team coach, dline coach lb coach db coach lol
January 8th, 2026 at 10:25 am
Firing a first year coordinator with a beat up qb and missing over half the offensive starters all year because he couldn’t cover the stink of a relatively healthy and atrocious defense that couldn’t anyone all year long. Zero accountability
Bowles and Licht suck.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:26 am
LOL HC,DC,OC
January 8th, 2026 at 10:26 am
Fans need to vote Bowles out with their pocketbooks.
Barring some kind of miracle OC hire or miracle new players, this is going to be one of the top 5 worst teams in the NFL next year.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:26 am
ST coach???
January 8th, 2026 at 10:26 am
No 1,000 yards WR
No 1,000 yards RB
No 4,000 yards QB
The offense took a huge step backwards
January 8th, 2026 at 10:27 am
Danny Mac said it right…
Griz was not great but he also was 100% not the biggest problem.
Bowles D was Charmin soft. Did not create nearly enough pressure/sacks & couldn’t get off the field on 3rd downs…While the special teams were among the worst I have seen in 50yrs.
Bowles clearly should have been the 1st one to get walked out the building.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:29 am
Canales was a good hire.
Coen was a good hire.
But Grizzard?
He had never been an OC before!
Can we please hire an experienced OC?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Actually Todd has two more years. And coaches in the NFL can be fired anytime no matter how long their contract. Not blaming anyone, but this “fact” has been passed around here on JBF, and it’s just not accurate.
Ambitious young candidates can also see the track record of BUCS OCs to Head Coaching and see it as a desireable position.
So there is that.
Rod Munch, where are you lately? Miss your insight into this whole process,
January 8th, 2026 at 10:30 am
Scheelhaase as OC and HC-in-waiting.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:30 am
Must have a new DC now that pushes for better defensive players.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:31 am
Turning into a bigger sht show by the minute.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:31 am
Mike McDaniel just became available. Dolphins fired their HC
January 8th, 2026 at 10:32 am
Scapegoat for sure. I am of the belief that much of our offensive problems stemmed from all the injuries, lack of stability and continuity. I’m not defending Griz but I wouldn’t make him scapegoat either.
Our BIGGEST ISSUES are special teams and defense. Aside from CM, we have THE worst special teams in NFL and the defense is not too far behind. What are we doing about that?
Like I said yesterday, this is complete BS! Zero accountability by owners, front office and head coach. This is insanity.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:33 am
Diabol or Mike McDaniel as OC,, Gannon as DC , special teams (anyone else )
January 8th, 2026 at 10:33 am
Bring in Scheelhaase or grant udinski for OC, Bring in Brain Flores for DC. let him run the defense.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:34 am
Hopeful additions
New OC+
* Offensive coordinator — Nathan Scheelhaase (Rams)
* Passing game coordinator — Zac Robinson (Rams/Falcons)
New DC
* Defensive coordinator — Karl Scott (Seattle)
New ST’s
* Special teams coordinator — John Fassel (Titans)
January 8th, 2026 at 10:34 am
Ah yes…..now all us fans are happy and satisfied. That’s what’s going to fix all the problems.
Sarcasm of course.
No issues with the move tho.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:34 am
Yet the defense – which was far worse than the offense remains untouched. Maybe because Bowles isn’t going to fire any of his buddies?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:35 am
Is there anything left of BA’s No Risk it No Biscuit? Get used to punts at 4 and 1 at the 50 yard line. Also more settling for 3 points with more than a minute left in the half.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:35 am
Season ticket sales must be exploding…NOT…. LMAO
January 8th, 2026 at 10:36 am
There goes the baker needs continuity excuse for keeping Coach Blows!!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:36 am
Todd Bowles; HC/OC/DC…
January 8th, 2026 at 10:37 am
That’s the only move that could have prevented the Bucs fans from starting a revolt. If we’re keeping a defensive coordinator that can’t stop anyone, we better out score the other team!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:37 am
Many leftover fans from the Brady years are still around. Many of us will drift to other teams. I’ll cheer for Evans wherever he goes, cheer for the Jags, and cheer for the Pat’s again now that they are a powerhouse.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:39 am
Well there goes OC Mike McDaniel lol
January 8th, 2026 at 10:39 am
What a total embarrassing joke this has become. Licht and Bowles promote this guy knowing he never called plays after they interviewed Udinski, Scheelhaase and many other Rams guys and decided he was the one. Now they turn around and fire him after 1 season, when the defense was a total joke after the bye week and historically bad in every metric. What a terrible look for a franchise that claims to be loyal, Bowles leaves his dinosaur assistants everywhere and make Grizzard the fall guy, he wouldn’t fire any of his old buddies, him and BA are they same with that.
Grizzard wasn’t great, but Bowles should be the “man of his word, loyal to people” and did they right thing and stepped down, this mess is all on him and Licht, talk about accountability.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:39 am
The ST coach should have been the first one out the door.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:40 am
This team won’t sniff a playoff game for another decade
January 8th, 2026 at 10:40 am
The Bucs will be .500 at best. There is good Baker and bad Baker. Good Baker makes an appearance with a strong supporting cast and good coaching. Bowles bring bad coaching. Guess which Baker will show up?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:41 am
and the Special Teams guy is still employed?! No justice in this world!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:42 am
He isnt going to hire a defensive coordinator, there’s no way. If they arent going to fire McGaughey as special teams coordinator, then Bowles made the arguement that they just didnt have good enough personnel to succeed on defense and special teams, yet somehow, an offense without guards and tackles and wide recievers should have been good enough for Grizzard to succeed.
Make it make sense.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:43 am
Grizzard never should have been put in this position. It was clear from the beginning of the season that he didn’t have enough experience to coach the Buccaneers’ level of offensive talent. He consistently called terrible plays under pressure.
The Bucs offense should have averaged 30 points per game after the bye.
Heck, I remember seeing receivers running into each other because they didn’t know where they should be. I’ve never seen that before.
I’m sure Josh Grizzard is a great guy but it’s crystal clear, he has to go, and be replaced with an elite OC.
Go Bucs 2026 !!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:43 am
It’s hard to evaluate Grizzard with Bowles looking over his shoulder.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:44 am
I can smell the stitch coming from Tampa all the way up here in the panhandle.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:45 am
Todd: Let me get another OC that I can tell to play conservative, that’s the ticket! SMH.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:45 am
Geez– to everyone who says “what good coordinator would come for one year”: anyone who has confidence and wants to be a head coach. Not sure anyone wants to just be a coordinator for many years anymore. Look at all of the top HC candidates– many (including Canales and Coen) were coordinators for one year. Anyone with ambition and confidence would take the job even if it’s one year– because that’s their career plan anyway. Those days of saying coordinators are looking for multi-year commitments are gone– unless they have zero desire to move up.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:45 am
So what about the special teams coach?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:47 am
HOW TF DOES HE GET FIRED BEFORE THE SPECIAL TEAMS COACH????
January 8th, 2026 at 10:47 am
Scheelhaase or Randle El may be available.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:47 am
Sad for him. Lack of guards and other O-linemen meant he could never really open up the playbook.
January 8th, 2026 at 10:47 am
Interesting three year run at OC for the Bucs. Two head coaches and a bust. Can’t win em all!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:49 am
Good !!…He and Bowels can split the UHAUL !!!
January 8th, 2026 at 10:49 am
This organization has been,is,and always will be a national joke
January 8th, 2026 at 10:50 am
Someone had to take the cannon fire. This was an obvious cover move for Bowles AND Licht. For now, they are safe.
Bowles will never surrender the DC spot so miss me with all that hot air.
The offense was fine at 6-2. Then the annual Bowles collapse happened.
A wide open Swiss cheese pee wee league caliber pass defense then lost to three playoff teams in a row. Nearly lost to one of the worst teams in the league. Followed that up with FOUR straight losses to terrible teams. Then a Bowles special nearly lost game to close out the season.
But yeah, it was the offensive coach that needed to be purged. What a joke.
36-36
January 8th, 2026 at 10:50 am
Mike McDaniel as Bucs OC? Sounds good to me, anyone have any thoughts?
January 8th, 2026 at 10:51 am
How was the special team coach at the first one out the door? The second one out the door should be the DC
January 8th, 2026 at 10:53 am
Smart move!!!
Been saying since before the bye week, you could tell Grizzard was in wayyyyyy over his head when it came to actual non-scripted playcalling….
He could not adjust and his route concepts were awful…
He was fine at the start of games when it came to those 1st 15 scripted plays but he lacked the ability to call it when the bullets were flying..
We need to bring in an EXPERIENCED playcaller with head-coaching potential…
That way if the offense looks better next season and Bowles once again craps the bed with his dumbass defense schemes, they can launch Bowles then promote the OC to a HC….
January 8th, 2026 at 10:53 am
Joe said: “Bowles almost seemed to tip this offensive play caller move on Monday when he said Grizzard learned things this season he could “take with him.””
Looking back at the timing of that remark, it seems that Bowles had little respect for Grizz, basically hinting that the kid was going to be launched before he even met with the Glazers or did he have prior knowledge? Any way you cut it, Bowles’ presser was pretty insulting; dissing his OC and basically telling the world he is “owed and deserves” another go of the job and that HE won 3 straight division titles, not that his team did. Us fans may be stuck with Bowles but he is now the most disliked person associated with the Bucs since Hugh Culverhouse.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:01 am
I hope that hiring a real DC is the next step. It’s the only way Bowles can look good as a head coach.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:04 am
Of Course HE WAS… Toad Bozo had to throw someone under the bus…
January 8th, 2026 at 11:05 am
Only organization where the coordinators are held to a higher standard than the HC
REALLY
BOWLES IS RUNNING THIS TEAM BUT FIRE COORDINATOR
JOKE
This has happened twice under this HC career here and nothing has change
MAYBE ITS THE HC ??????
Don’t be scared of the woke crowd Glaziers
January 8th, 2026 at 11:06 am

“Scapegoat.”
Nope. We all knew this was coming regardless.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:07 am
why can Thad Lewis?!?
and why is the special teams coach and charlie strong still employed?
this is BS!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!

I suspect that will be our next coach. So just about anyone would want it.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:08 am
And for the love of God, please secure a capable veteran backup QB—someone who can step in when Baker’s banged up and legitimately push the second unit during offseason and camp work.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:10 am
He could never figure out how to get a bunch of pro bowl receivers open
January 8th, 2026 at 11:13 am
Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic
January 8th, 2026 at 11:17 am
3rd and 28! Grizz should have stopped that.
Baker’s horrid INTs in the last month. Grizz should have never dialed up Ints.
The problem with this team is defense and ST, first and foremost. Yet the first makor moves are to retain Bowles and fire the OC.
Cant make this stuff up.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:20 am
Fort Myers
Perfectly stated.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:21 am
So HC gets a pass for injuries (most on offense side)
But OC is fired ????
January 8th, 2026 at 11:23 am
Grizzard had to go, but so does the DC, ST.,
I’d be interested in McDaniel for sure, but he may not want to come to a lame duck staff. Not without guaranteed money anyway. I wouldn’t blame him for that.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:28 am
When is McGaughey gone? And what DC is gonna want to come here in this situation? He will be fighting with bowles and be gone with him next year
January 8th, 2026 at 11:35 am
wait wait :I agree scapegoat when he is fired before the DC and his old buddy ST yea he did not call great but before them? sounds like the reverse arian rooney rule to me
January 8th, 2026 at 11:36 am
At least he can look for a job now instead of having to wait until they fire Todd Bowles.
One report, from Bowles himself, does not constitute an organizational decision or press release.
And nothing binds them from firing Bowles any time they want.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:41 am
How does this fix our defense which caused more losses than our offense ever did. Fire the DC next. And of course the special teams coordinator. Zero hope for this team with Bowles at the helm.
January 8th, 2026 at 11:45 am
Waiting on the defensive firings
January 8th, 2026 at 12:07 pm
As the ship goes down the Glazers gave the lifeboats to the Captain (Licht) and first mate ( Gilligan/ Bowles) Everyone else including fans it’s sink or swim.
I bet they are partying in Atlanta, New Orleans and Charlotte today.
When Dave Canales is in the playoffs and you are not you know have great owners.
January 8th, 2026 at 12:13 pm
I would prefer Coen, but unfortunately he was literally the best coordinator we had. Which obviously isn’t saying much but defense and special teams were absolutely atrocious this year.
January 8th, 2026 at 12:22 pm
Exactly right Colonel Angus. There better be a lot of them fired too. Todd and his old time Tulane buddies from yesteryear are most of the problem. Grizz should not have been given the job to begin with. Then he was overwhelmed by Todd’s turtle approach. Poor kid never had a prayer. Whoever they bring in has to be able to stand up for himself like Coen.
January 8th, 2026 at 12:31 pm
Yes Grizz sucked as a play caller especially on first down, but how much of that was all the injuries especially at offensive guard. Did Bowles tell him he needed to be more conservative to keep his defense off the field??? How in the world is he fired before Bowels buddy the special team’s coach.
Someone had to fall on their sword. SCAPEGOAT!!!
January 8th, 2026 at 12:42 pm
Since Bowles has been a head coach in this league, he has kept 1, ONE offensive coordinator. That was after his inaugural season with the Jets, and I’m not sure he was coach for a full season. The next season, he and each successive OC under Bowles, has been fired after being blamed for a losing season. With the notable exceptions of Cannales and Coen, who actually brought winning (above .500) seasons to Bowles.
Once again, the blame goes to someone else, and Bowles skates.
He must be a damn good salesman. Much better than he is a coach.
January 8th, 2026 at 12:55 pm
Ok so let me get this straight, the Bucs defense is responsible for a collapse of historical proportion and the first people to be fired are on the offensive side of things…make it make sense.
Yes Grizzard needed to be fired, he is not ready to be an OC but how his firing comes before the special team coaches and most defensive assistants are sent packing is mind numbing and baffling
January 8th, 2026 at 1:17 pm
So we fired the Offensive coaches because they couldn’t compensate for the joke of a defense that we put on the field? That makes lots of sense.
January 8th, 2026 at 1:19 pm
Evans, Godwin, McMillan and Bucky were out basically half the season so let’s get rid of the OC. So what’s Bowles excuse his defense was worse than the offense.
January 8th, 2026 at 1:20 pm
And for everyone who says Grizzard sucked as a playcaller, I have to ask, how do we know? Everytime Bowles talked offense, he talked about Time-of-possession and running the ball (like we’re playing 1985 football). I can’t help but think that Grizzards conservatism was directed by Bowles in order to keep his defense off the field as much as possible.
January 8th, 2026 at 1:24 pm
One thing about McDaniel as a potential OC hire. He’s the type of guy who could be an “interim” head coach should Bowles start 1-5 next year.
January 8th, 2026 at 1:29 pm
Joes told us a year ago….. The offense wasn’t going to be a problem. It would be great. Top 5 or better – LOL
The Offense was horrible, atrocious, pitiful. I’m hopeful Todd will consider a new D. C. too but this was necessary.
January 8th, 2026 at 1:38 pm
Not enough to bring me back.The defensive coordinator and head coach are the two biggest problems. Whammy that mofo Glazers
January 8th, 2026 at 2:20 pm
Big deal. Still going to suck.
January 8th, 2026 at 2:25 pm
BA stepped in to save his friend….TB should have been fired…he’s responsible! Bye Bucs!
January 8th, 2026 at 3:28 pm
I’m sure Bowles threw him under the bus
January 8th, 2026 at 3:55 pm
His scheme was a large step backward, injuries or not.
He had not feel for the flow of the game.
Way too many obvious play calls, and poor play calls in critical moments.
January 8th, 2026 at 4:19 pm
The Glazers fired Grizz …. Bozo gets the credit !
January 8th, 2026 at 5:38 pm
Still have one big, fat, sloppy, uninspiring problem that we didn’t take care of.
January 8th, 2026 at 9:24 pm
Bowles needs to retire now

The Bucs got their receivers back after the Bye week and instead of playing better they under performed.
Granted Baker Mayfield had shoulder issues but that wasn’t the whole reason for the offense failing. Grizzard had never called plays and his inexperience in scheming to open players ended the Bucs season.
Finding a new OC will be Bowles and Licht number one priority. Todd Bowles needs a pass rusher. There are some veteran players like Crobsy available and Licht and the Glazers need to open the Bucs pocket book, plus give a 1st pick.
They do that and have another good draft the Bucs will be real contenders.
