Sad but true: no quarterback drafted by Tampa Bay has ever received a second contract from the Buccaneers.

Sad but true: except for the stretch from 1999-2002, this franchise has never posted more than two consecutive winning seasons.

These two depressing facts are, of course, related. (more…)

When the Bucs tabbed Mike Tomlin to oversee their secondary in 2001, he had no idea he’d be working with two future Hall of Famers.

The head coach of the Steelers returned to Raymond James Stadium Friday evening, a week after celebrating Rondé Barber’s enshrinement weekend. It was Tomlin who gleefully draped a gold jacket across Barber’s shoulders on a stage at the Canton Civic Center as a crowd of more than 4,000 roared in approval. (more…)

One man was absent. Conspicuously absent.

Rondé Barber’s former Buc teammates and coaches came out in force during his unforgettable weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Fellow Hall of Famers Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp and John Lynch celebrated with Barber at the Gold Jacket dinner, the enshrinement ceremony and the subsequent party at a posh vineyard. They posed together for pictures and reminisced about an iconic defense now featuring four members honored in Canton.

Mike Tomlin attended the Gold Jacket dinner, along with Raheem Morris, another one of Barber’s position coaches in Tampa. Tony Dungy was everywhere and even 83-year-old Monte Kiffin turned out, despite taking a fall last week. (more…)

What a weekend.

Rondé Barber’s enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame brought back vivid memories of a Buc defense that ranks among the best in the NFL’s 103-year history. Friday night’s gold jacket ceremony proved uncommonly emotional for Barber, whose goal as a professional was to establish himself as an uncommon player. (more…)

Mike Evans is excited — which should make Buc fans very excited.

As he enters his 10th NFL season, the most accomplished wide receiver in franchise history can’t wait to implement the diverse new offense designed by Dave Canales. Evans thought he had run every route tree imaginable during nine consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Then he got a look at the devious challenges Canales has crafted for Tampa Bay opponents. (more…)

On the brink of training camp, the 2023 Buccaneers have no shortage of questions to address.

Before traveling to Minnesota for the Sept. 10 season opener, the Bucs have several critical position duels to settle. The coaching staff also needs to closely monitor some key veterans returning from major injuries and determine which rookies are ready for prime time.

Here’s a pop quiz featuring 10 questions looming over the start of camp: (more…)

When the Bucs begin training camp this week, they’ll practice in the shadow of one of the NFL’s premier facilities.

Yes, Raymond James Stadium is celebrating its 25th anniversary in grand style. It has held up uncommonly well since Tampa Bay residents passed a referendum calling for a 30-year, half-cent sales tax to fund construction, along with additional projects to serve the community. (more…)
