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.

Torched.

The natives are getting fed up. That’s what losing year after year after year does to folks. (more…)

Shopping for discounts.

Alright, the Bucs cleared some cap room yesterday when they let some (though not all) dead weight go, which included defensive lineman Mitch Unrein (who?). (more…)

Payday for No. 53.

It’s hardly as sexy as all the other Browns signings this week, but amidst all those big names, Cleveland plucked a Bucs starter today as the free agency dinner bell rang. (more…)

Joe doesn’t know who is the culprit making the gravest of mistakes here, the Chiefs or the Bucs. (more…)

Returns.

The Bucs new kicker is the old kicker.

And that is Cairo Santos.

Per Ben Levine of ProFootballRumors.com, Santos and the Bucs reached an agreement where Santos will continue to miss kick field goals for the Bucs, a franchise simply cursed by place kickers for much of the post-Chucky era.
