The list of best available free agents is unnerving. (more…)

The only conclusion Joe can come to is the powers that be at One Buc Palace are damned confident in themselves. (more…)

Bucs castoff cashes in

UPDATED: 6:01 p.m. – As Joe has said and written many times, nobody writes a soap opera like your Buccaneers.

For this one, first consider that head coach Dirk Koetter last year said O.J. Howard was a fresh version of Marcedes Lewis, the 12-year Jacksonville tight end who is still in the league. (more…)

Options.

Perhaps the vibe wasn’t good. (more…)

Embraced by the Raiders

Frankly, Joe’s simply posting a picture and a few words here about this accurate nonsense.

Good luck, Doug Martin, who returns to his hometown Raiders at 29 years old.

Good luck, Chucky, whose film study of Martin over the past two years must have been accompanied by consumption of hallucinogens.

Bucs pass

Yes, there really was a young pass rusher on the market this week, a guy younger, more productive and presumably better than the 30-year-old journeyman the Bucs signed yesterday, Mitch Unrein. (more…)

Last night, per several reports, the Buccaneers were courting and interviewing Ravens free agent center Ryan Jensen.

So it’s fair to assume Jason Licht wants to beef up the gut of his offensive line. (more…)

Injured

With a large majority of big-name free agents gone and most B+ players signed to A+ money, the NFL is sort of moving to is second wave of its annual winter auction. (more…)

Yeah, Joe knows yesterday was a head-shaking day. (more…)

Lauded.

It is not all gloom and doom for the most puzzling Bucs offseason in years. (more…)

Options dwindling.

Joe is trying to stay positive in the middle of this dark cloud hanging above Bucs’ fandom. (more…)

“You know Jason, if Ryan Smith can just go workout with his high school coach this summer, he might be OK. No need to get nervous.”

It seems the Bucs and Joe both look at a painting and see different images. (more…)

The newest Buccaneers has Super Bowl experience

Unreal!

No Unrein. (more…)

The dinner bell has rung! (more…)

Time to lose the Ndamukong Suh fantasy

It’s big money, Chris Baker money, for new Buccaneers defensive tackle Beau Allen, who played a lot but wasn’t a starter last season in Philly. (more…)

Competition on the way

It seems the guy who replaced Nick Foles last year on the Jets roster, is now the guy who will replace Nick Foles on the Bucs roster. (more…)

Multiple Bucs ties

One of the most unique and talented — and young — NFL ballhawks is now available.

And yes, he’s more valuable than Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves. (more…)
