It was just about this time a year ago when Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer announced Bruce Arians as the 14th member of the franchise’s Ring of Honor.
All eyes are now on No. 15. There’s no shortage of worthy nominees. (more…)

The NFL owners meetings are slated for next week in Phoenix, where Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer is expected to discuss the state of the franchise with local media.
Things have changed markedly from 2020, when the Tom Brady era began in Tampa and ownership charged GM Jason Licht with an aggressive approach that would maximize the club’s chances for a Super Bowl title. Licht responded in kind, trading for Rob Gronkowski, adding Leonard Fournette as a free agent just before the season opener and signing Antonio Brown in midseason as he was finishing up an 8-week NFL suspension.
Back in 2007, Glazer sat down with me in Phoenix during a gathering of owners. The Bucs were coming to the end of a cycle and had just endured a 4-12 season with Bruce Gradkowski under center. The defense wasn’t very good and the offense was awful, averaging 13 points per game. (more…)

Anybody remember the Flying Wallendas? Didn’t think so.
The Flying Wallendas were famous circus performers, specializing in high-wire feats of daring. They were particularly adept at walking across tightropes without a safety net.

Donovan Smith leaves One Buc Place with his head held high and his hand extended for another lucrative contract.
At the age of 29, Smith is still young enough to generate considerable interest from a contending NFL team in search of a dependable left tackle. He won’t come cheap — and he won’t come at all as a free agent if a suitor suggests Smith is viewed as a quality backup. (more…)

Let’s shift our focus off Kyle Trask for a moment, shall we?
Replacing Tom Brady was never going to be a simple task. Let’s see what Dave Canales can do to play to the strengths of the new guy under center this fall.
The Bucs need a couple of running backs to complement Rachaad White and this offensive line is about to undergo significant changes.
But enough on that side of the ball for the moment.
Let’s take a hard look at the pride and joy of Todd Bowles, a defensive unit that faces an overhaul in the next two months. (more…)

Smart, Bucs. Very smart.
After evaluating the available options, Tampa Bay’s brain trust has arrived at the proper conclusion … let’s take a step back in order to move ahead.
Let’s take our lumps in free agency and not be foolish enough to replace Tom Brady with a high-priced veteran under center. (more…)

It’s been eight long years since the Buccaneers ran the football with authority. You think Dave Canales hasn’t noticed?
Tampa Bay’s new offensive coordinator spent 13 seasons on Pete Carroll’s staff in Seattle, where the Seahawks built a reputation as one of the NFL’s most physical teams. (more…)

The world would be a better place if everyone was as honest and forthcoming as Rondé Barber.
Ask the new member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame a question and the Buccaneer icon freely speaks his mind. Whether he’s talking about the impact of his Hall induction or his mindset playing for the offensively challenged Bucs nearly 25 years ago, Barber remains candid. (more…)

Before Tom Brady came along, the Bucs were a franchise for the ages.
The Dark Ages.
It wasn’t very long ago when this team was in the midst of a 12-year playoff drought, encompassing all or part of the regimes of Jon Gruden, Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano, Lovie Smith, Dirk Koetter and Bruce Arians.
Tampa Bay was an afterthought on the NFL map. Even before the schedule would come out in April, it was a safe bet you’d find most Buc games on Sunday afternoons, 1 p.m. kickoff. (more…)

It all began on a warm fall day in New Orleans.
Yes, the Canton Four first came together on October 25, 1998 at the Superdome, where it was 80 degress outside and a comfortable 72 down on the field.
In terms of offense for either team, it was downright chilly.
That matchup against the Saints marked the first time Rondé Barber, John Lynch, Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp started together in a regular-season game. They would end up with 88 joint starts as Buccaneers and their next common assignment is to party like its 2002 when they meet in Canton this summer. (more…)
