Bradley Chubb Signs With The Bills
March 11th, 2026
Bucs GM Jason Licht.
The Bucs are running out of supremely talented pass rushers to sign.
Free agent edge rusher Bradley Chubb, the former first-round pick who had 8 1/2 sacks in 17 games with the Dolphins last season, will be signing a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Bills, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The contract includes includes $29 million in guarantees and $9 million in incentives.
That’s just about Haason Reddick money, albeit on a multi-year deal.
Joe has seen the ESPN report that the Bucs were chasing Trey Hendrickson but didn’t want to sign him to the four-year deal he got from the Ravens. Schefter had reported that 31-year-old Hendrickson, coming off surgery, wanted to play for Tampa Bay. Joe guesses the desire wasn’t significant.
Were the Bucs in the Hunt for Chubb? It doesn’t matter much now.

dont worry guys we got jake browning
March 11th, 2026 at 6:46 pm
Would love to see Clowney on the Bucs
March 11th, 2026 at 6:48 pm
Obviously at JBF headquarters there is weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth….do you guys honestly think the Bucs were going to chase high dollar guys???
March 11th, 2026 at 6:48 pm
If they stand pat we should get some compensatory picks in 2027. š
March 11th, 2026 at 6:49 pm
This front office sucks. Iām all for cleaning house at the end of this season. First one that needs to be fired or access denied at One Buc is Bruce Arians for forcing this Todd Bowles Dumpster fire on us. Licht can get canned too.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:50 pm
Browning, Anzalone, and Gainwell. A who’s who of who cares. No one wants to play for this inept braintrust.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:50 pm
We got Nelson and Braswell … We good!
March 11th, 2026 at 6:50 pm
Canāt believe how far weāve fallen. Onward to the next Lost Decade!
March 11th, 2026 at 6:50 pm
For some reason i believe somewhere somehow Licht trades for a pass rusher who we didnāt think would be available! In Licht we trustā¦#BROWNS
March 11th, 2026 at 6:51 pm
Reddick is still available. Jajaja
March 11th, 2026 at 6:51 pm
Jason is not doing anything . He only works the 1st day or two of FA . Then nothing . This team became boring overnight some how . No excitement . A couple mid range signing does not move the needle. He had a chance and I guess is ready to move on with Bowles after this season. You can’t address everything in the draft . He hasn’t been that good . After we lost Mike he should have got motivated to use that money we would have spent on Mike to improve the team . He did nothing .
March 11th, 2026 at 6:52 pm
Well, there is still always Maxx Crosby
Either that or trade up to get Rueben Bain ā Miami 6ā 3ā 275 ā 21 years old
But apparently he has T Rex Arms lol
March 11th, 2026 at 6:52 pm
Clowney or Bosa would be better than Chubb. Lichtā¦ get it done!
March 11th, 2026 at 6:53 pm
These guys are getting wayyyyy over paid and in the coming years it will show. Now does Licht go after Crosby for less change? Stipulations for his play and health?
March 11th, 2026 at 6:53 pm
Bowles does not need pass rushers. He would just drop them in coverage and have them run 30 yards downfield with a running back lol
March 11th, 2026 at 6:53 pm
Hit snooze for this year and wake up when Todd is gone. This year will be uglier than Oprah naked.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:55 pm
Get Bain jr. In draft but you canāt sit around you gotta spend to get quality
March 11th, 2026 at 6:56 pm
The one thing I do applaud Licht for is not over paying for the talent and that can go for the number of years in the contract as well. Hell what guy wouldn’t want a 3-4 year contract at their age but lest we forget, they can get cut as well but depending on what the contract says may be paid for sitting. At least Licht isn’t doing that. To be honest I think he’s scared of exactly that. They hit the lightening in a bottle with Brady and the others and it paid off, now time to reset.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:56 pm
There will be no edge help. Top five pick in 2027 to come. Glazers should fire everyone. Everyone. Complete new regime. As Joe would say, this is malpractice for team to go this long without a sniff of a pass rush. I now have to look at you Licht canāt believe you havenāt learned. Everyone is derelict of their duties at this point. It really is disgusting how this is just shrugged it off, disgusting. We better score 50 a game to have a chance to win.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:57 pm
We are still shopping the clearance aisle I seeā¦.
March 11th, 2026 at 6:57 pm
Licht and the Glazer kids must be watching old re-runs of Seinfeld instead of working.
“Everybody else is doing something, we’ll do nothing!” – George Costanza (Licht)
“I think you might have something here!” – Jerry Seinfeld (Glazer Kids)
“Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!” – The entire NFL
March 11th, 2026 at 7:01 pm
We donāt need Crosby, we signed Nelsonā¦. lol. Itās like Licht goes into hibernation during free agency. Itās all about drafting obscure players from division 3 schools for Jason. I canāt get upset at this point, the Bucs have already tanked before the first game.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:02 pm
I see no value in signing 30+ year old pass rushers with declining ability and coming off injuries. The front office believes that a healthy offensive line will dominate and the Buccaneers will score 4-5 more points a game. I think that is possible, though not guaranteed. We will see. The draft will focus on defense and Licht’s recent drafts have been quite good. Looks like we will draft a cornerback first; then a linebacker and/or defensive lineman.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:04 pm
So farm pretty ROUGH start to the season with free agency. IT’ A BUCS LIFE BAY BAY!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:06 pm
They better draft David Bailey with 15ā¦
March 11th, 2026 at 7:06 pm
Super impressed Joe that JBF is keeping track of everyone else’s free agent signings.
If JBFers type in āNFL free agency tracker 2026ā in their search box and select the CBS Sports entry that pops up, they’ll find an excellent recap of what each team has done in FA.
Guess which team has done the LEAST? Yup, our Bucs. Compare that to what some other teams have done; for starters, the Raiders, the Giants, the Chargers. Then look at what the other NFC South teams have done in free agency. It almost looks like no one told Jason Licht that free agency has started.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:07 pm
Itās pretty clear the Glazers have hamstrung Jason pretty hard these past couple years after spending with Brady. They donāt care about winning. Take a look at Man U.
Iāll make sure to buy no tickets or merchandise this year. Best I can do.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:07 pm
NO RISK-IT JASON
The love he gets is unfounded. Egbuka is a bust after this year, watch.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:09 pm
Jason Licht, The Dollar General Manager. Waiting to go get those bargain bin treasures.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:09 pm
We’re getting down to Bosa/Von Miller area now
March 11th, 2026 at 7:10 pm
Jason Licht is doing exactly what he should be doing
I’m ok with the Bucs moves
March 11th, 2026 at 7:11 pm
This is looking more and more like we are resetting for Mike Tomlin after this upcoming season. We reached out to Harbaugh. He declined. Then Tomlin leaves Pittsburg. He wants to take a year off. So, the Bucs unceremoniously retain Bowles. Hire Steelers special teams coach. Make no major FA moves. No contract restructures. Grab Steelers running back. Tomlin is close with Dungy. Dungy is close with the Bucs. Weāll probably draft defense heavy but may take a few surprise offensive picks. A best player available strategy to set up for Tomlin next year. This is what looks like is happening.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:11 pm
Does it even matter!? I know to the players on the roster it will and should but to the rest of us?
They might as well tank, have no edge rush again cause itās not needed for the guru.
Anything the Bucs do is just spinning their wheels under Todd.
If there was a new coach and Mike Evans still in town, then I would sweat the lack of an edge signing.
As it stands, Iām the opposite of the guys that hope SF sucks. I canāt wish for the Bucs to suck but if they win 5 games, Bowles gets fired and they have a high pick, maybe a comp pick or 2 for losing Evans, Dean, Whiteā¦ things will be looking up again for 2027.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:12 pm
Open the door wide NFL. 2026 Mediocrity here comes our beloved Bucs under the leadership of Todd Custer Bowles and General , I willnot pay that much, Licht
March 11th, 2026 at 7:13 pm
Tomlin instructed them to just get the highest draft pick they can this year before he gets here.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:13 pm
Good move not to sign Chubb.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:13 pm
Hey Jason – Boooooooo!
Youāve weakened the team. Iām about done with the Licht Bowles clown show.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:14 pm
If Jason Licht throw big money at these free agents, and they wet the bed
These same Buc fans will be calling for his job
March 11th, 2026 at 7:15 pm
Thereās no more āI am that manā guys left it seems. All those FA and we were able to find 2. āI am that manā David must be looking around at the same crappy D and wondering why he would want to come back to finish last in the worst division in football. Jason, you donāt have enough draft picks to fill all the giant holes you have on D!!! Should have fired Bowles so David could retire and Evans would have stayed with the right coach!! I keep seeing āheās too oldā or āhis knee is goneā or āheās injury proneāā¦ā¦ theyāre still better than what we got and whatās out there!!! Jason must be banking on a lot of practice squad guys to shock the world again this year!!! What a joke!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:15 pm
Same people who were all “We’re gonna scrape the bottom of the barrel for guys like Chubb” are now moaning because we didn’t give Chubb $44 million….
March 11th, 2026 at 7:16 pm
Lowball offers, always going cheap. And why would anyone want to play for this head coach? Why did ME13 really leave? Yeah, why waste another year? And maybe great pass rushers donāt want to drop back in coverage 3-4 times a game. The rate of the leader determines the rate of the pack. They were super cheap when Rah was coach and they hung him out to dry. Itās back to that same mantra. Why not get Bobby Wagner and Lavonte David?
March 11th, 2026 at 7:16 pm
I donāt know if there were more than a couple of supremely talented pass rushers in this free agent groupā¦what there was is a ton of way overpriced players for what you are getting. Paying over 1 million per sack (or even 2 million!) is ludicrous. Thereās still an outside chance David Walker and Yaya blow up this season and we have a ton of sacks even without a (hopefully) very stout draft class that costs way less money.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:16 pm
Joe, any word on Bucky Irving, who was not tendered and is a free agent?
March 11th, 2026 at 7:17 pm
Build through the draft!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:18 pm
Clowney or Bosa, Almost no rookie edge makes an impact and certainly wonāt on this team. If they do nothing they are telling us itās rebuilding time. Which we all already knew. Do your job Jason.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:18 pm
Someone please wake Jason up then explain how the Bucs require a better defense prior to the next football season.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:20 pm
Everything will be fine
March 11th, 2026 at 7:20 pm
Just run a 3-3-5 defense
March 11th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
In 1975 NFL draft, the 12 picks the Dallas Cowboys chose ALL made the team and set foundation for Super Bowl success. Jump to 2026 and the Bucs have 7 draft picks and with the correct picks the correct picks The Bucs could have the magnificent 7 and a Super Bowl trip!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
At this point Joey Bosa is a viable option or the Muhammed guy from the Lions
March 11th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
Surprise, Surprise, nobody wants to sign with the Bucs and their lame duck coach.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:22 pm
Really really had to be a Buc fan right now!!!. I wish they would tell us their plan is. It now appears they are now on a rebuild the team with the draft. So no wonder ME left guess they told him the same. This is a really scary defense. Morrison, McColumn your starting corners, yikes. Then add that with a sad front 7 and we have the new making of the Yucs. I think I want to go and watch Mike and SF. They are making some moves. However, the Bucs have a blueprint they are following. We just don’t understand it just like ME.

March 11th, 2026 at 7:24 pm
Ballwasher
JL doesn’t have any money to overpay for FA because he already spent it all overpaying for all the extensions. 6 guys over 20 mill. All but 1 paid way too much and then 16mil wasted on McCollum. You can’t pat JL on the back for that mess.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:25 pm
I honestly believe that this is a “what do we have in Baker year”. As bad as our D was last year, Baker did have chances to put us in a position to win some games late in the season and didn’t do it…I say position since our D would / could give up 30yrds in 15 secs to give up the game winning field goal. It was concerning how bad Baker played the 2nd half of the season…
I think the Glaziers want to know if they can build a team around him or do they need to just start over. We have a ton of high dollar vets on this team – so we could just let everyone go – take a huge cap hit in a single year…start new.
This is going to be painful to watch – Go Bucs!!!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:26 pm
To the ā fan ā that asked if they is any news on Bucky who is a free agent and non tendered, please go awayā¦. He is not a free agent itās actually embarrassing
March 11th, 2026 at 7:27 pm
I’m shocked that star players aren’t beating down the doors at One Buc Place demanding to play with Baker. Heck even Otton wouldn’t take a hometown discount to play with Baker. Evans took a lower offer from the 49ers.
Says everything about what players really think of Baker, and how he choked last year with the playoffs on the line – in addition to his 4th quarter chokes in the playoffs vs the Lions and Redskins.

Calm down people, Bonzai has been around here forever – he’s just a drunkard and he obviously meant Tucker.
For the answer, Tucker was given the lowest tender possible, of $3.5M, so the Bucs have the right to match any deal he gets, but the Bucs would get no draft pick comp if he leaves.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:29 pm
Has that 4 years away kinda vibe to me. Get younger, save money, get coaches, get big name FA’s year 3 and 4 for the push. The window closed and now it’s got to be reshaped. Fells like I’m about to watch 20 preseason Bucs football games in a row.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:30 pm
I have to laugh, even though I agree with them, when they pick a player: Crosby, Chubb, Herndrickson and others when they say to Licht, “Get it done!”
Clearly, this pathetic GM and owners are NOT going to get anything done in FA.
To expect them to was delusional.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:31 pm
Just trade away AWJ, McMillan, and Vea and be done with it. Surrender 2026 just like we did with kickoffs last year. Wtf.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:31 pm
Canāt wait to hear what Lee has to say. The next Ira podcast is gonna be epic lol
March 11th, 2026 at 7:31 pm
In that photo above Licht is seen desperately texting Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquil Barrett in an attempt to see if he can once again shut out the noise by bringing in popular has-beens from the past.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:32 pm
The #Bucs are signing former #Panthers standout DL A’Shawn Robinson to a 1-year, $10M fully guaranteed deal, per The Insiders. A raise after he was due to make $8.5M with Carolina.
Robinson’s deal was done by agents Sean Kiernan and Travis Allen of @AthletesFirst.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:36 pm
Licht gave Reddick 14 million after a terrible year. He needs to pay Bosa or Clowney thatā¦ they would be worth the money way more than washed up Reddick. It seems like his tail is between his legs afraid to make a mistake again or something.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:36 pm
This is all due to the Glazers and Arians Social Engineering. NOT putting competence above politics. FIRE TOILET BOWLES!!!
March 11th, 2026 at 7:38 pm
Really hope Licht is working on a trade or something for an Edge of DL and is not relying on the draft. If heās thinking draft, that dude has learned zero and is losing his marbles. Or if he says that Walker or Braswell are going to shock people, weāll need to have him committed. He already believes that Bowles can inspire people and lead. Poor Licht is slipping in the head.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
As a junior in tenure here, I’ve had to come up to speed on the workings of the organization.
In watching JL last year at this time I was wondering why he didn’t make any substantial moves at the beginning of FA. I figured that he had some other strategy. He didn’t.
Does this guy have a pulse? Creativity wouldn’t be possible without one.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:43 pm
Iām shocked that star players arenāt beating down the doors at One Buc Place demanding to play with Baker…Rod Munch
What a joke this guy is. The feelings regarding Mayfield are certainly split, with the majority in favor. The opinion on Bowles is close to unanimous- -way negative. Yet the self described Oracle of Dale Mabry hangs our lack of appeal to FA on Baker Mayfield. I can’t describe how incredibility XXXX this is.
XXXX = the words that would put me in Joe’s jail.
March 11th, 2026 at 7:44 pm
stop looking at these old guys as saviors… the production falls off quickly after turning 30.
You spend all your money on one guy, if he doesn’t deliver you have no team around him.
March 11th, 2026 at 8:01 pm
Just wait, they are getting set for the future.
Next year Mike Tomlin will be the HC, Sean McDermott will be the DC, Zac Robinson will be the OC, and Danny Smith will be the SC.
Remember itās all about the connections.
Mike Tomlin is connected to the Bucs as a former position coach and through his friendship with Ronde Barber who is still active as a personality around the Bucs and who I think will be getting more involved with the team in the near future. Tomlin hasnāt had a losing season so he told the Bucs I will come on board after you tank so I can draft a QB of my choosing.
Tomlin wanted to hire Robinson to be the OC of the Steelers but Robinson went to the Falcons. So there is our connection there. Robinson is here a year early because offenses take longer to get up to speed than defenses so ge has time to get most of the offensive pieces in sync.
Sean McDermott will be the defensive coordinator because he and Mike Tomlin are friends and teammates from college. They both attended William & Mary and the Bucs have already reached out to Sean publically this off season.
Danny Smith is obviously already here as the SC. Not only was he the SC under Tomlin but he was a coach at William & Mary. If Smith had some overlap with McDermott other than the William & Mary connection it would really sell my theory.

Meanwhile every player poll, private comments, etc, talk about how the players love Bowles.
I’m not a Bowles fan – but the idea that Baker is a draw, after he went into the tank and cost the Bucs a playoff spot, is insane. Evans voted with his feet, told you what he really thinks, would rather play with the last pick in the draft over the first.
March 11th, 2026 at 8:05 pm
@ RodMunch
You are so idiotic. Do you not realize how many injuries he played with last year? 5. You know, because they could not get a competent backup to rest him. He alerted it only started playing bad when the injuries piled up. But no delusional people like you are blind with hate boners. Before all of those injuries, he was literally a mvp candidate. Injuries cause a lot of problems.Something delusional people like you don’t understand
How many defenders are lining up to pay for bowles?
Also we have 180m in cap towards the offense. 102m on defense. We don’t need anymore on offense than what we already got. We need Defense. You know, the part of the team that allows perennial backup quarterbacks to have career games for multiple years, not just half a year.
You’re small hate boner is showing and its embarrassing
March 11th, 2026 at 8:07 pm
Rod: Of course the players “love” Bowles. Do they have a choice? Dissing your coach publicly can be a career death knell.
March 11th, 2026 at 8:11 pm

Usf players liked Jeff Scott like the players like Bowels. Certainly got them far huh?

Rod Munch, ever the Baker Hater – “Evans voted with his feet, told you what he really thinks, would rather play with the last pick in the draft over the first.”
See, I thought it was because he wanted to play for a coach who is regarded as a genius, not one who is incompetent. Not sure how Baker got involved but you know, when you hate a guy as much as Munch does, there’s a way to spin everything into a Baler negative.
Asked Munch and every other Baker hater on this website before who the Bucs should have taken at QB at the time Baker was grabbed and anytime afterward and it’s been nothing but crickets.
March 11th, 2026 at 8:39 pm
Looks like we will have to settle for JPP or Shaq again. Lmao! Back to being itās a Bucs life!

March 11th, 2026 at 8:55 pm
What pass rusher wants to play on a def where he drops in coverage?
Why do we want to sign a pass rusher, our brain scientist head coach will drop him in coverage on 3rd and 28ā¦ā¦..
March 11th, 2026 at 9:04 pm
They dont want a pass rush, its that simple.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:08 pm
Obviously I had hoped we would get the guy. Buffalo has a better super bowl window.and we cant offer stability
March 11th, 2026 at 9:10 pm
Weird when you don’t have Tom Brady…nobody is knocking on your door.
This is the reality of the Bucs without Brady.
Pay attention. Licht is in trouble.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:12 pm
Hopes on 2027ā¦ problem is, you donāt see too many great players in FA that are age 26-29.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:20 pm
Less than 1/2 sack per game @ 29 years old. Not a loss.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:22 pm
Is the waterboy available? I know he is a little old but we could get more sacks out of him than Reddick got. Donāt worry Licht the waterboy is a fictional character but you might have more luck with him than any edge rusher you allegedly tried to sign
March 11th, 2026 at 9:23 pm
What millionaire edge rusher who is set for 10 lifetimes want to come to Tampa. The Bucs were exposed by Evans and the word spread like wildfire. There wonāt be any signings of significance. There are now more holes on this team than ever. The Bucs canāt even get their own RB to sign a tender. Oh, how the once mighty have fallen. Glazers, you brought this on yourselves. Why on earth would you have extended this incompetent HC? Why would you allow him to continue to have a dual role? Why? Your commitment to a failed ideology has killed your franchise.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:25 pm
This Def may be really really bad !! youāre gonna be lucky to get one and a half meaningful starters out of the draft. The season ticket sales are not going to flourish with what the Owners and Light have done over the past two years.

March 11th, 2026 at 9:25 pm
Good g*d Munch.
No one is saying Todd canāt win with a QB playing at an All-Pro level.
*If only Tom was 2 years younger and not distracted (think Belichick would have let him be distracted).*
The problem is he canāt win with anything less!
His only wins without high end offensive production are due to opponents incompetence. The guy canāt outscheme anyone anymore and he refuses to change or adapt. He calls conservative, play not to lose football and he can only win with that aforementioned, high end offensive production. Itās insane.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:26 pm
Well, that’s @ LEAST 3/4 of the defenses in the league. It ain’t the 60s anymore. Edges dropping into coverage is just another dead horse some people continue to beat.
March 11th, 2026 at 9:45 pm
I think Bucs fans should just accept the team for what it is – 17 winning seasons out of 50 – 34%
John McKay – 3 winning seasons out of 9 coached – 33%
Bennett Williamson Perkins Wyche – 0 of 11 coached
Father Dungy – 4 of 6 coached – 66%
Chuckle – 4 of 7 coached – 57%
Morris Schiano Smith Koetter – 2 of 10 coached – 20%
Charlie McCarthy Arians \ Edgar Bergen Brady – 2 of 3 – 66%
Dear Leader Todd Bowles – 2 out of 4 coached – 50%
so you see, Bucs fans, Bowles is a better than average Bucs leader –
in fact heād have to orchestrate two more losing seasons to drop to āaverageā –
put a smile on your face ! the 2026 season is a mulligan !!!
March 11th, 2026 at 10:07 pm
Iād like to expand on my previous analysis of Bucs history – which indicates that the Bucs should hang onto Bowles as long as possible – to wit –
John McKay was the first Bucs coach – ROH – 3 winning seasons
THEN four disaster coaches with NO winning seasons
THEN two good coaches Dungy ROH Gruden ROH with 8 winning seasons
THEN four disaster coaches with TWO winning seasons
THEN two good coaches Arians ROH Bowles with 4 winning seasons so far
so you see, if Bowles is fired then the Bucs have to go through 4 disastrous
coaches and maybe a decade before they start winning again –
to avoid this fate the Bucs need to keep Bowles the HC indefinitely
