New Bucs CB Chase Lucas.

Joe’s not trying to be mean in any way. Anyone on an NFL squad is in the top 1 percent of humanity.

Joe is guessing these signings are strictly for special teams. The Bucs yesterday, per Adam Schefter of BSPN, signed veteran Kemon Hall, a cornerback by trade. Later, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported the Bucs signed fellow corner Chase Lucas.

Don’t worry if you don’t know the names. Despite Hall entering the league in 2019 and Lucas entering the league in 2022, neither has started an NFL game.

Last year Hall played for one of the most talentless teams in the NFL: Tennessee. In the offseason, the Titans hired defensive guru Mr. Clean to be their head coach and he apparently wanted to wipe the slate clean of Hall.

In three of his seven years in the league, Hall has been a practice squad guy. In only one season has he played in more than six games; that was 2021 –16 games for the Chargers.

Hall has played lots of special teams.

Same with Lucas. At least with Lucas, he was on a playoff team, San Francisco. Lucas played in 15 games last year with just over double the snaps on special teams as Lucas had on defense.

If Joe had to guess, Lucas would see the field as a corner before Hall.

These signings again demonstrate the Bucs are placing a lot of effort beefing up a truly sorry special teams unit in 2025 (there was nothing sorry about kicker Chase McLaughlin, the lone bright spot for the 2025 Bucs not-so-special teams).
