For the second consecutive season, the Bucs are playing the franchise tag game with Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin. (more…)

UPDATED 2:31 p.m. – The rebuild is on in Seattle, meaning the NFC playoff road just got a shade easier for the Bucs. (more…)

Available.

So in a handful of hours late this morning and early this afternoon, there is movement in the quarterback market. (more…)

Leverage.
