Among cutdown victims.

To meet Tuesday’s mandatory roster limit of 53 players, the Bucs started shedding players today.

Of course, no huge names were sent packing but a few guys who showed some things in training camp and worthless preseason games are now on the market.

Receiver Tanner Knue, running back Ramon Jefferson, tight end David Wells, corner Andrew Hayes and linebacker Kalen DeLoach are among the first Bucs casualties, as documented by Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Per Auman, the Bucs have waived 12 players.

The deadline to cut the roster to 53 is 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Cryptic message.

Yeah, call Joe weird. But unless something happens, it hasn’t. Don’t tell Joe you have never been surprised by a transaction a team has made. Or hasn’t made. (more…)

Turning the corner?

Opening drive thoughts.

Joe can’t remember the last time the Bucs scored a touchdown on their opening drive in the regular season. (more…)

Boy, Joe is still on a high from last night and it has nothing to do with cold adult beverages. (more…)

Sean Tucker (right) with the guy whose job he’s about to take (Chase Edmonds).

Joe thinks any list of the top-5 Bucs preseason surprises must include second-year running back Sean Tucker. (more…)

So what you’re seeing in the screenshot above is Bucs rookie center Graham Barton blocking and clearing a massive hole for Rachaad White running to daylight after catching a basic screen pass last night. (more…)

Chase McLaughlin

The free agent signing this offseason that’s never talked about is Chase McLaughlin. Tampa Bay paid top dollar for its money kicker — a guy Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager pulled off the street cheap before the 2023 season. (more…)

If you blinked last night, you missed the first team Bucs offense smack around the Dolphins’ backups at The Licht House. (more…)

High praise from Bucs QB.

In his first home game as a Bucs receiver, even though it was a worthless preseason game, Jalen McMillan made a catch that people will remember long after they forgot about Friday’s night’s game. (more…)

Safe, says Bucs great.

Joe has gone over how former Bucs great Rondé Barber has a direct and very, very close pipeline to shot-callers in the Bucs personnel office. (more…)
