Not that expensive.

So just how much Team Glazer loot would it take to bag free agent wide receiver DeSean Jackson? (more…)

Last year Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht stayed away from the top-tier defensive ends in free agency, only to wait for the second-tier and grabbed Mr. Beasting Robert Ayers. (more…)

Lotto winner Will Gholston speaks

Mike Smith knows what he doesn’t have

You heard Jason Licht on SiriusXM NFL Radio last week. To win fast in the NFC South, the Bucs must jack up their pass rush.

Re-signing Will Gholston today was not a step in that direction. (more…)

Ok. Defensive end Will Gholston hit lotto from the Bucs, avoiding free agency. Good for him! The young man is a great story.

“So, Coach, do you really want me to tell you what I think of that play?”
