Todd Bowles Still Looking For A Corner
July 29th, 2026
The hunt for a corner.
UPDATED: You may have heard Benjamin Morrison is dealing with a tender hamstring. Why does Joe have the feeling he will be typing about that several times over the next five months?
So already the cornerback position is thin for the Bucs. In the offseason, Bowles had said he wanted to add two corners. The Bucs added one, a nickel, Keionte Scott in Round 4 of the draft, plus two little-known veterans before the draft.
With Morrison down for who knows how long, Bowles has resumed speaking of his desire to add another corner.
“We worked some guys out,” Bowles said. “And we are still in the process of filtering that out.
“But hopefully we have somebody in here.”
Late July is not the ideal time to hunt for a cornerback, or any player. Nearly anyone worth his salt is in some team’s training camp this time of the year.
It may behoove the Bucs to wait a couple of weeks to when teams start whittling their rosters down. There is always a nice player who finds himself unemployed just before the regular season.

Does ownership and Licht know this? Why wait this late after losing your starting CB in FA? Smh…Campbell just sealed a CB I believe. The Bucs need all the help they can get.
July 29th, 2026 at 11:32 am
Hopefully to stand onā¦
July 29th, 2026 at 11:33 am
Now you want to find a starting CB?
You MORONS?
Seriously folks – what in the heck is going on with this completely difunctional franchise?
Was our āROHā GMs entire plan based on Ben-Mo and Kancey staying healthy?
If so ā please load him into the cannon and fire his goofy arse back to New England.
Iāve said it once and I will do it once againā¦
Terrion Arnold.
Yes ā he is a kidnapper with multiple feloniesā¦
However ā our GM and HC is guilty of kidnapping my happiness and Ben-Mo guilty of grand larceny and is stealing money from the Glazersā¦
So who cares at this point?
You are all felonious crooks IMO!!!!
Pathetic.

Great, Bowles drafted his friend’s son and he got hurt celebrating at his draft party. Just do what Bowles has been doing the last few years, have the CB’s 10 to 15 yards off the LOS. No QB will figure it out (besides Cousins, Ewers, all 2nd stringers and most 3rd stringers).
July 29th, 2026 at 11:38 am
This is fruition coming to the front. The Bucs have needed to add another cb since free agency. They wait til now. I don’t think anyone outside of Licht and Bowles ever thought Morrison would get much time on the field before an injury. McColumn proved he was no starter last year. I have been scratching my head on this all off season. I don’t get this one. I would sure like to hear Bowles and Licht explain this one. Bizarre is the only way to describe it. They don’t see the Forrest for the trees?, denial about how bad the cb position is?. Well maybe they now see what we have been saying about the cb position.
July 29th, 2026 at 11:38 am
This does not surprise me.
July 29th, 2026 at 11:40 am
Shouldn’t we be calling Morrison our most talented corner? I mean, that’s how we talk about the one that just left. Seems he couldn’t stay on the field either, but everyone misses him.
July 29th, 2026 at 11:46 am
So in day one, Wirfs, Morrison and Vea get injured. Itās just comical at this point.
July 29th, 2026 at 11:48 am
Just go get Adoree Jackson and be done with it
July 29th, 2026 at 11:52 am
So Jason Light wonāt trade picks for proven stars like Max Crosby
But heāll continually waste 2nd and 3rd round picks on unproven guys coming out of college. According to Jason, why win superbowls when he simply enjoys the Draft process and Draft night and making picks.
This guy lives to make picks!!! āYO JASON TRADE THE PICKā ā¦ NO
And now Jason Light is a cheapskate GM?
The pick of Chris Braswell and Benjamin Morrison should have been flipped for a proven starter worth a damn
This defense has been soft asf ever since Devin White and Carlton Davis walked out that door
July 29th, 2026 at 12:01 pm
Another Licht Loser. Still wondering why Licht get so much love for his drafts. This dude was injury prone throughout college, multiple surgeries, and now another wasted second round pick.
How many does this make? Sooooo many busted 1st and 2nd round picks
July 29th, 2026 at 12:01 pm
Man at this point
I agree with Marine Buc
THIS TEAM FOUNDATION IS BUILT ON CHURCH CHOIR BOYS
WHERE IS THE SWAG, WHERE ARE THE TOUGH GUYS
GO GET TERRION ARNOLD
GO GET STEPHON DIGGS
IM SO TIRED OF BOWLES SAYING
āI like the guys we gotā
āOur young guys need the repsā
GO GET SOME DAMN ATTITUDE, GO GET SOME EXCITING PLAYERS
GO GET SOMEBODY WORTH BEING EXCITED ABOUT
GO GET SOMEBODY WITH SOME RED FLAGS AND NOT INJURY HISTORY!!
ONLY TIME BUCS MAKE A HEADLINE RIGHT NOW IS FOR BEING CHEAPSKATES
July 29th, 2026 at 12:06 pm
This just speaks to the current state of the franchise.
A rudderless ship lost at sea with no ability to course correct.
The top players are leaving or rejecting the direction set in front of them.
It has been building since the 2024 playoff loss to Washington.
Last season was the breaking point. Licht and Bowles are a package deal.
They broke it, they bought it.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:06 pm
Vita and Mayfield in limbo.
Morrison hurt.
It’s a Bucs life.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:07 pm
If this season ends up being a complete and total disaster, AND we continue to get just more of the SAME from Morrison, then Lickt has GOT TO GO right alongside of Todd Bowles. Cause, EVEN a āblind personā could see THIS coming from MILES AWAY. And, you STILL decide to BURN an extremely valuable 2nd-Round PICK (while missing-out on BIG BAD Deone Freaking WALKER in the same draft). Itās totally UNFORGIVABLE. Especially, when there are AT LEAST a āhalf-dozenā other, just MIND-BOGGLING BADDDDD moves, over the past two off-seasons. And, not even including HIS āall-timeā record (over then, for 14-SEASONS), and after having ZERO āPro-Bowlersā DRAFTED over the past 6-YEARS. I mean, that has to be a WRAP by then.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:12 pm
has there been any good news this off season? I can’t remember a worse off season.
Ooph
July 29th, 2026 at 12:15 pm
agree with WBL & Marine
bucs need to grab BOTH Adoree Jackson AND T. Arnold to elevate the CB group
GO BUCS!!!!
July 29th, 2026 at 12:19 pm
My 1st reaction is like most of yours. WTH is going on but as fans we have no clue whatās going on behind closed doors for the most part I trust licht
July 29th, 2026 at 12:27 pm
Better get Big V EXTENDED and happy, ASAP!
July 29th, 2026 at 12:27 pm
Bucs fans are hilarious.. yea lets go get all these players that other teams kicked to curb, and are STILL free agents in Late Late July. I know B MO is hurt, but If the bucs were to cut him today, he would be claimed much faster than any of these other players you guys are naming.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:34 pm
some fans are just as delusional as licht lol…yeah lets sit back and put all our eggs in the B-MO basket lol….he sure proved he can be a quality starter in the NFL…LMAO!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!
July 29th, 2026 at 12:34 pm
If Todd and Jason survive another losing season. Iām going to crash outā¦
July 29th, 2026 at 12:41 pm
Why does this team have so many hamstring problems every year? Can you say dumpster š„
July 29th, 2026 at 12:43 pm
“Bucs fans are hilarious.. yea lets go get all these players that other teams kicked to curb, and are STILL free agents in Late Late July”
Weird take, we signed Fournette in September of 2020 and AB in October of 2020, both kicked to the curb & both did more winning in that year then either teams that offloaded them.
Happens every year, for every team, all around the league. 90 men in camp, teams are always looking for talent
July 29th, 2026 at 12:45 pm
Morrison had a history of HIP troubles (corrected by surgery) AFAIK, he had no history of hammy issues
July 29th, 2026 at 12:45 pm
After the season, Bowles will be looking for: A corner to hide in.

To be fair… I’m thinking Vea’s pocket and feelings were more hurt than his back today. It’s an excuse to “hold in.”
July 29th, 2026 at 12:49 pm
there seems to be something very wrong with this football team owners gm hc/dc? Bowles seems like a likable guy but not all there Brady effect is gone like the wind
July 29th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
T. Diggs anyone? At least he gets INTs which we’ve been missing plus he has size which sadly Parrish and Scott do not have. Maybe not as a full time starter but the WRs that possibly would be to physical for Parrish and Scott he could at least handle? Though he hasn’t been the same for a few seasons he’d be someone I’d at least take a flier on.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:51 pm
These veteran free agents do not want to go to training camp.
July 29th, 2026 at 12:52 pm
Fire the ENTIRE TRAINING STAFF.
Don’t these jack-balls have a leg curl machine? Good lord. My grandmother’s linguine has a higher tensile strength that the hamstrings on the Bucs.

“So Jason Light wonāt trade picks for proven stars like Max Crosby

I agree.
Look at the Rams.
It’s worked well for them.
Only problem is:
Draft picks are cheap labor and when you are constantly financially underwater because of prior poor FREE AGENT decisions – you need that cheap labor in order to continue the facade of having a “competitive” franchise.
While making false and hollow promises to the fan base in order to continue selling tickets and cheap china made merch…
July 29th, 2026 at 1:00 pm
Why does this team seem like a mess again this season. No depth on this team. Multiple players in contract situation. A coach that should not have been kept to begin with. Evans leaving for the 49ers and David retiring. Just seems like this season is going to be brutal from the start.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:01 pm
@ BuccoMarty
“Iām thinking Veaās pocket and feelings were more hurt than his back today. ”
I heard Vita sat on his wallet and it threw his lower back out..
Poor wittle guy.
I hope he is still able to eat after this season.
LOL!
July 29th, 2026 at 1:02 pm
Morrison, the modern day Myron Lewis! Bowles, the modern day Lovie Smith!
July 29th, 2026 at 1:05 pm
The team is in disarray and it is 100% on Jason Licht. Without Brady,, he just isn’t a very good GM. What a mess. No more Jason Licht…PLEASE!
July 29th, 2026 at 1:05 pm
3-14

“After the season, Bowles will be looking for: A corner to hide in.”
Oh snap…
Thomas coming in with the double entendre joke.
I like it.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:08 pm
Plesae get a gag for Bozo. Every time he taps it gets worse.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:09 pm
Adore Jackson?
I just rewatched the Eagles vs 49ers playoff game from last year. The one thing that stood out, was how San Fran were picking in Jackson ALL game with the likes of DeMarcus Robinson and Jennings.
Ummm no thanks on the washed up Jackson.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:20 pm
Bowleszo should look for some Spunk. Just watch todays press conference. That guy is just a STIFF! Uninspiring. Just depressing. This will be the season of Grover I told yas so’s. Sorry Mr Mod.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:21 pm
you’re crazy if you think B-MO can play better than Adoree Jackson lol…you’re judging him off on 1 game lol
Jackson had 55 total tackles (40 solo), one interception, and 11 passes defended…kid aint washed but he isnt a #1 CB anymore
at the very least he’d be quality depth…at the moment, B-MO isnt even quality depth…he’s a special teams player at best
why wait until week4 to realize we need quality CB depth….you know that now
GO BUCS!!!!
July 29th, 2026 at 1:23 pm
@ 813
I agree.
Bring in both Jackson and Arnold and see which one can stay out of jail long enough to give us the best chance of winning 7 games.
Maybe 6…
July 29th, 2026 at 1:24 pm
Bucs have been very timid this off season to address their primary problems. CB injuries have wrecked seasons under Arians and Bowles.
This isn’t rocket science go sign a veteran CB or 2 and let them compete with the young guys.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:24 pm
“The one thing that stood out, was how San Fran were picking in Jackson ALL game with the likes of DeMarcus Robinson and Jennings.”
Literally the best CB available on the street right now, and we don’t need him to start we need him to be a contingency plan.
Kind of obvious Jackson was aged out for DeJean & Mitchell who are cheaper AND younger.
4 of 4 for 48 yards and no scores that’s the “picking on” you just referenced btw, not exactly getting his boots smoked
July 29th, 2026 at 1:25 pm
” kidnapping my happiness”… Good one Marine. Also, looks like we just signed a safety with some experience. Interesting..
July 29th, 2026 at 1:29 pm
What a bunch of whiners.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:31 pm
The Licht in the Front Office is very dim
July 29th, 2026 at 1:34 pm
Watching rasul Douglas go to the commanders was stupid teams who know they are thin and could possibly compete are aggressive to fill the void but not this club we wait until we are down to the waterboy to make a move only thing that sucks about being a diehard bucs fan.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:38 pm
We have been screaming for two veteran corners for the last year. Now the stupid Bucs are just figuring this out. Morrison was drafted after surgery and he was out for some time. Why would any GM draft a guy with chronic injuries? I guess Jason always tryās to get a sleeper in the draft. This time it didnāt work and the Bucs will pay this year due to the poor secondary play. Another reason that both Todd and Jason need to be fired after this season.
July 29th, 2026 at 1:42 pm
Bucs just signed safety Melifanwu. Used to be with the Dolphins. The calvary has arrived!
July 29th, 2026 at 1:48 pm
glazers orders keep costs at a minimum, thats why bowles is still coach
July 29th, 2026 at 1:48 pm
@Bee
I’m more familiar with his older brother Obi, but Ifeatu is a big mf’er for a safety
July 29th, 2026 at 1:49 pm
Put Todd on the PUP list and letās move on..

SoGS, I can’t agree more! From my perspective, that’s what I see too. It’s the GM’s place to make it all good. So far JL has only corrected about 50% of the team needs. Of course maybe he is steering the ship into the rocks for better draft picks and another reset. I hope not, but time will tell.

B-mo;
– would be on the field…if he wasn’t injured
– would’ve been the starter last year…if he wasn’t injured
– would’ve been a 1st rounder…if he wasn’t injured
– would’ve been drafted later…if the folks at 1Buc didn’t know his dad
He’s a bust until he shows he isn’t. The best that “would’ve been-mo”.
JL, instead of doing Dad’s a solid (see Warner, Sanders, etc…FTI haterz, I’m aware of UDFA vs picks) let’s focus on doing the fans a solid and go after the best…. jus’ sayin’
July 29th, 2026 at 2:17 pm
@ Will P
I don’t get it either…
It worries me that our HC has a personal connection with this player and his father.
If this was our HC’s request and our GM went along with it – bad optics to say the least.
July 29th, 2026 at 2:31 pm
Terrion Arnold would be a steal
July 29th, 2026 at 2:33 pm
The Bucs just signed…..a Safety, Ifeatu Melifonwu
July 29th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
Wow we are slipping on all fronts in the office early. Morrison did this in the little camp they had, and should have done something before now. Someone could have had a little time to get in the playbook and all. Come on man.
July 29th, 2026 at 2:46 pm

“Come on man.”
In regards to the current situation – wiser words have never been spoken.

It smells like beef and cool ranch dressing………..
July 29th, 2026 at 2:48 pm
I heard something about Bain in coverageā¦Bowles drafted him to be a CB, I see. šššššššššš
July 29th, 2026 at 2:49 pm
I forgot about the UDFA I read about and hope he’s doing what he started in the past camp.
July 29th, 2026 at 3:02 pm
@ Marine Buc,
Agreed…really worked out for Gruden (post Super Bowl and in Vegas)
Thanks for your service (I wore green)
July 29th, 2026 at 3:12 pm
LMAO. He might be looking for a DT too.
July 29th, 2026 at 3:12 pm
@ Will
Cool.
As does one of my sons…
July 29th, 2026 at 3:39 pm
I wouldn’t get too worked up about Wirfs’ hamstring. They’re not gonna push him with even a minor tweak.
July 29th, 2026 at 3:58 pm
Marine Buc in prime form today! Bravo, sir!
July 29th, 2026 at 4:25 pm
@Smoke Porterhouse
I almost wrote about that but I suppose I’m tired of writing books as to why there is a real problem around One Buc Place.
Can you imagine how Bain felt when he was drafted by us to a coach that sees the Defensive End as usless..
People can say what they want about “draft position” as the reason why he yanked that hat and kept walking. I’ve got a different theory….
July 29th, 2026 at 4:29 pm
JL never does enough to address CB. Just drafting players isnt enough. You need both FAs and draft players. Drafting guys works when it hits but its all a ? Until they see them in game action. Need that balance.
July 29th, 2026 at 5:09 pm
Vita wants a trade, so instead of hoping for a high draft pick, swap his aging ass for a pro bowl corner!!
