Charlie Heck Signs With The Miami Dolphins
March 16th, 2026
Last year the Bucs signed and targeted Charlie Heck to fill in for Tristan Wirfs at left tackle but absolutely refused to play him there.
In fact, the Bucs basically turned their offensive line upside down to keep Heck off the field.
It was wild. Rather than let veteran swing tackle Heck fill in for Wirfs — he practiced for months at left tackle — the Bucs kicked center Graham Barton to left tackle, left guard Ben Bredeson to center and inserted (not that) Michael Jordan into left guard for Weeks 1 through 3.
And it worked.
Heck, of course, was pressed into duty at Houston in Week 2 when right tackle Luke Goedeke left with a foot injury that sidelined him for six games.
Later in the season, Wirfs missed more time but the Bucs passed on using Heck at left tackle. Undrafted rookie Ben Chukwuma got the call instead.
As for the Heck experience in Tampa, it’s now over. He signed today with the Dolphins as a backup tackle.

What is … things I am grateful for.

we have bigger problems. What the Heck? lol

That’s fine. He struggled all season.

Charlie Heck is a journeyman Offensive Tackle
So his journey takes him to Miami
Still don’t understand why he’s not a better OT
His father was a solid offensive lineman
And his father is a good offensive line coach with the Chiefs
Heck has the perfect height, perfect weight, perfect arm length
He has all of the measurables to be a great OT
It’s hard to figure him out

P The article I saw had him ranked 82nd out of 84 tackles, so there’s two guys who are even worse. Hopefully they’re not on our team

All these players getting picked up…..Evans & Dean on pretty big contracts….maybe, just maybe….we’ll get a comp pick next year.

What the heck.

Hey if we pay them maybe they would take Feeney too!!. As bad as Heck was and he was bad. I would have taken him over Feeney. Anyway, think we are all happy that at least Heck is gone. Hey can we now unload McColumn?. In my opinion after Feeney and Heck McColumn was next on the extremely poor playing list.

This was a heck of f up by JL
And still trying to figure out how in the heck Feeney is back
March 16th, 2026 at 4:54 pm
I won’t miss him.
March 16th, 2026 at 4:55 pm
Hopefully he’s not a starter.

Sad. Gonna miss the porn stached matador. Licht is just amazing .

When he got away with that tripping drop back kick, I realized it’s too much for him
March 16th, 2026 at 5:13 pm
Sounds exactly like a Lovie Smith signing… 🤦♀️

He was the Myron Lewis of OTs, minus the longevity. Way to go Bowles. See what you did? Clearly this team is tanking. All hope is lost.
But seriously, how about the Bucs sign Wyatt Teller or even better, his old teammate Bitonio. Enough jute-twine and duct tape roster fixes. The cap is fake.

I’ll miss his last name.
That’s about it.
March 16th, 2026 at 5:29 pm
He will get the dolphins quarterback killed
March 16th, 2026 at 5:36 pm
heck of a move
March 16th, 2026 at 5:40 pm
^ that…
March 16th, 2026 at 5:53 pm
Heck Yeah!
March 16th, 2026 at 6:01 pm
Good for Charlie

Charlie is credited with developing the “spin block” saw him get spun 360 degrees. I could not agree more with the disparaging comments regarding Feeney, that man was bounced off the turf many times.

Dam.
Heck would have been the prize catch of our Free agent haul so far!
Guess Licht couldn’t land ALL the top FAs!
I mean, we grabbed Dan Feeney and Ko Keift up, before the league could steal them away!
Gotta give the other 31 teams A CHANCE next year. Can’t hoard all the talent!
Right Jason?

One of their better free agency moves. Addition by subtraction
March 16th, 2026 at 7:20 pm
Fire Bowles now!
March 16th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
Maybe they can take Braswell from us now, too!
March 16th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
This is a very low energy off season. Led by the Sideline Stiff. Not promising.
March 16th, 2026 at 7:50 pm
I wish him well.

Not on the team moving forward….anything on health of the broken ones that have been signed/resigned?
