Bucs RG Shaq Mason.

The Bucs may have lost a Pro Bowl left guard in Ali Marpet when he retired recently. In return, however, the Bucs may have gained his equal to play the right side. (more…)

Gone.

Joe has a hunch O.J. Howard won’t like the fishing in March in Buffalo. (more…)

New contract.

Chris Godwin will be with the Bucs for at least three more seasons. (more…)

Return likely.

Call it barbershop talk. (more…)

Playoff hero Sean Murphy-Bunting

Personnel moves often are about more than what’s seen on face value. (more…)

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.

The details are on NBC Sports Edge. So next up to sign, foot-rubbing tight end Rob Gronkowski, and perhaps Playoff Lenny too?

And maybe, just maybe, Honey Badger?

Hey, Joe can dream too!

Strong Bucs ties revealed.

With news that the Bucs didn’t even try to keep young hard-hitting, blossoming safety Jordan Whitehead, Joe speculated that something may have been bubbling below the surface for Tampa Bay to take such a disinterest in keeping a strong young safety.

Free agent Ronald Jones

It’s now less than two hours before Phase 2 of NFL free agency. (more…)

Bucs didn’t want him.

So Jordan Whitehead is off to the NFL’s landfill known as the Jets. And in a surprising (non-) move to Joe, the Bucs made no move to stop him. (more…)

Bucs CB Carlton Davis.

It almost sounded like Bucs corner Carlton Davis was hinting that the weeks of indecision at quarterback for the Bucs during Tom Brady’s 40-day retirement may have pushed Tampa Bay’s free agents to the edge. (more…)

If you wondered whether Tom Brady liked the work of veteran Bucs receiver Breshad Perriman, wonder no more. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Just a few short days ago, Bucs fans soberly were considering the likes of Blaine Gabbert, Teddy Bridgewater and Carson Wentz as a starting quarterback to replace the retired Tom Brady. (more…)

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…)

New Bucs receiver Russell Gage

The first thing Joe thought of when learning the Bucs signed Dixie Chicks receiver Russell Gage was that this is insurance. (more…)

New Bucs starting right guard Shaq Mason.

Gregg Rosenthal can’t believe it. (more…)

Bucs WR Chris Godwin.

With the exception of Tom Brady, Joe thought the next logical candidate for NFL MVP was Rams receiver Cooper Kupp. (more…)
