Hearing general manager Jason Licht say this week, “Sometimes you bet on the guy” about Chris Godwin, got Joe thinking more about the Bucs’ desperate salary cap situation.

Desperate if they want to compete for a Super Bowl this year. (more…)

Houston QB Deshaun Watson.

After hearing virtually all NFL coaches and general managers spin and massage and speak crafted messages at the combine in the Indiana Convention Center this week, Fields Yates of BSPN has heard enough to decipher what teams will stick with its current quarterback and which will go get one. (more…)

Surprise!

Joe admits to being shocked by this. (more…)

Ohio-bound?

This is somewhat disturbing. (more…)

Bucs CB Carlton Davis

It sure doesn’t seem like, feel like, look like the Bucs are going to franchise cornerback Carlton Davis. And the cornerback market today just got a little more crowded. (more…)

Bruce Arians during his Cardinals days.

There’s no truth better than black-and-white history.

Joe asked someone in the know about the facts below at the NFL Scouting Combine and all that came back was a smirk. (more…)

Bucs QB Blaine Gabbert

It is sometimes interesting to Joe to see how national NFL outlets look at the Bucs compared to the local pen and mic club. (more…)

Carlton Davis

Joe has a firm disagreement with The Sage of Tampa Bay Sports, Ira Kaufman, when it comes to how the Bucs will handle free agent cornerback Carlton Davis. (more…)

Imagine how much simpler the Bucs’ pending free agency decisions would be if the NFL would just alter its offseason schedule. (more…)

Cyril Grayson

Another thing Joe learned this week at the NFL Scouting Combine is just how happy the Bucs are with the bottom of their roster. (more…)

Confident in offensive line.

Of course, Joe already wrote about Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians’ reaction while in Indianapolis this week during the combine. He has a battle plan to replace recently retired Ali Marpet. (more…)

Wiseguys chime in.

The Vegas wiseguys seem to know something most of us do not. (more…)

No, this story isn’t about what is going on in Ukraine. Outside of video, Joe doesn’t know what the hell to believe coming out of that place. (more…)

Tom Brady speaks

Joe has learned an awful lot this week at the NFL Scouting Combine from all kinds of NFL power players, coaches, etc.

So Joe can only imagine what NBC super insider Peter King has been soaking in while he roams the halls of the Indiana Convention Center. (more…)

Wide receiver chatter.

The Bucs already lost an invaluable player when Tom Brady retired (?) last month. So the Bucs will do their best to see to it they don’t lose another next week when they have the opportunity to keep him. (more…)

Bucs OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

Then-Bucs rookie outside linebacker/pass rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka sure was hyped by teammates and Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians last summer. And Arians is sticking by his words. (more…)

One involved Bucs center Ryan Jensen.

If Joe was into rumors and wild speculation, Joe would have a daily rumors column. There’d be plenty to write considering all the stuff that comes across Joe’s various electronics.

But today Joe is going there because of where they were heard and who delivered them. (more…)

“Tommy, you were perfect.”

The cool thing about coaches going to the combine and speaking before the national media is the different perspective one gets. Different questions are asked and you get fresh insight into a coach. (more…)
