For those slaves to the salary cap, here is news for you.

It seems both Bucs sack king Shaq Barrett and tight end Cam Brate have reworked their contracts to help the Bucs comply with the salary cap and to free up more Team Glazer loot.

And maybe, just maybe, Honey Badger?

Safety Mike Edwards has seven career interceptions. That’s more than break-the-bank Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis has in triple the career snaps, including playoffs.

Heck, Edwards’ hands are so good he even picked off a phony vaccine card. (more…)

Whatever you need, Tommy.

That’s the mindset at One Buc Palace right now, as it should be. (more…)

Betting insiders at play?

Shady dealings and corruption are woven into the very fabric of Las Vegas. And it seems that may have been in play at the world-famous Westgate SuperBook in relation to Tom Brady last week, says its director. (more…)
