Thursday, April 5th, 2018
BY IRA KAUFMAN
Hold off on your seven-round mock drafts for a moment and get real, Stick Carriers.
The Bucs aren’t in bad shape sitting at No. 7 — and the word of the day is value. Things would get easy if Bradley Chubb, Saquon Barkley or Quenton Nelson are still on the board, or things can get messy if the big three are all gone.
I’m hearing a lot of chatter about Jason Licht selecting Minkah Fitzpatrick or Derwin James in that scenario, but I’m not buying it. (more…)

“We Have Never Ever Told Our General Manager Who To Pick In The Draft”
Tuesday, March 27th, 2018
“Jason, why would anyone try to hang Roberto Aguayo on my family?”
Remember that CBS report from insider Prickly Pete Prisco claiming it was Bucs “ownership who pushed the pick” of Roberto Aguayo?
Joe asked Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer about that today. (more…)

Anything To Dull The Pain
Friday, March 16th, 2018
BY IRA KAUFMAN
How would you like to be pushing Buc season tickets right now?
Those poor saps in the ticket office are trying to drum up support for a 5-11 club that barely made an early ripple in the free-agent pool.
