Joe learns plenty about the Bucs that never lands on these pages. It’s a fortunate and unfortunate part of the business. (more…)

Sweat-talk.
Joe is on an edge rusher kick. And Joe won’t get off that until or unless either the Bucs find a likely replacement for Jason Pierre-Paul and/or trade out of the No. 5 draft slot — which frankly would not be smart. (more…)

Available.
No team has more failed corners masquerading as nickel corners than the Bucs. They are absolutely stocked with them and sadly, Joe is confident this was not by design. (more…)
Likes his former players.
The Bucs may be turning in to Arizona East. (more…)

Man, Joe is very intrigued by all these prove-it contracts the Bucs have signed since the free agency dinner bell rang.
What happens if all these guys play well? The Bucs won’t have the cash to bring them back! (more…)

Jason Licht has accounting concerns
Joe realizes Bucs fans are constantly looking around hoping, praying something very exciting happens in free agency — something more than losing key contributors (if there is such a thing on a 5-11 team) and replacing them with players bearing question marks. (more…)

New Bucs receiver.
New Bucs receiver Breshad Perrmian said all the right things yesterday at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Bucs need him now.
Unless the Bucs plan on making a big splash with a trade, there is no reason to wave goodbye to Gerald McCoy. (more…)

Wanted by the best.
Some Bucs fans, and a couple of regular commenters on this site, always mocked Adam Humphries as a low-level runt only good enough for loser teams. (more…)

Signed.
UPDATED 2:18 a.m. – One free agent sleeper the Bucs could have gotten from the discount bin is no longer available. (more…)

PRESENTED BY
Arguably the worst free agent signing of the Jason Licht regime, DeSean Jackson, met with Philadelphia media today and dropped a few intriguing nuggets. (more…)

Part of a Bucs reunion
Bucs 2014 fifth-round pick Kevin Pamphile opened a lot of eyes in Tennessee last season when he played very well filling in at left tackle. (more…)

Here’s a little guard history with a new twist, courtesy of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (more…)
Joe wrote over the weekend that Bucs officials are yearning for a third-down back and they do not think Ronald Jones is in that mold.
That’s why the Bucs have been sniffing Duke Johnson of the Browns. (more…)
Anyone remember wide receiver Mike Quick? When Joe was a kid, he was a true NFL superstar, five consecutive Pro Bowls while playing for five Eagles teams with losing records. That’s how good Quick was. (more…)

Target of Bucs?
Even though Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht solidified his offensive line (with the exception of right guard) to the shrieks of many, does that mean the Bucs are content with the offensive line?
Apparently not. (more…)
UPDATED 8:55 a.m. – The Bucs are chasing salary cap nickels and they got serious about it yesterday, doing exactly what they should have done to Doug Martin in March 2017 — used their leverage to cut his pay before they foolishly allowed him to return at full salary after a 2.9-yards-per-carry season and a three game drug suspension.
Perhaps Jason Licht is evolving.
