Part of a Bucs reunion

Bucs 2014 fifth-round pick Kevin Pamphile opened a lot of eyes in Tennessee last season when he played very well filling in at left tackle. [read more]

Here’s a little guard history with a new twist, courtesy of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [read more]

Joe wrote over the weekend that Bucs officials are yearning for a third-down back and they do not think Ronald Jones is in that mold.

That’s why the Bucs have been sniffing Duke Johnson of the Browns. [read more]

Anyone remember wide receiver Mike Quick? When Joe was a kid, he was a true NFL superstar, five consecutive Pro Bowls while playing for five Eagles teams with losing records. That’s how good Quick was. [read more]

Target of Bucs?

Even though Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht solidified his offensive line (with the exception of right guard) to the shrieks of many, does that mean the Bucs are content with the offensive line?

Apparently not. [read more]

UPDATED 8:55 a.m. – The Bucs are chasing salary cap nickels and they got serious about it yesterday, doing exactly what they should have done to Doug Martin in March 2017 — used their leverage to cut his pay before they foolishly allowed him to return at full salary after a 2.9-yards-per-carry season and a three game drug suspension.

Could do worse.

If you are tossed aside by the Miami Dolphins, you are either overpaid terribly or are damaged goods. [read more]

Shopping for discounts.

Alright, the Bucs cleared some cap room yesterday when they let some (though not all) dead weight go, which included defensive lineman Mitch Unrein (who?). [read more]

Payday for No. 53.

It’s hardly as sexy as all the other Browns signings this week, but amidst all those big names, Cleveland plucked a Bucs starter today as the free agency dinner bell rang. [read more]

Snapless stay in Tampa

Traumatic brain injuries are very serious matters. And that’s what derailed the career of now former Bucs defensive end Mitch Unrein, who was released today. [read more]

Thankfully, the Bucs re-signed the guy on the left.

An aspiring entrepreneur still grinding toward his degree at Auburn University, running back Peyton Barber made a wise move today. [read more]

The Hall of Fame duo is back talking free agency, Buccaneers free agency. It’s TAMPA TWO, presented by Caldeco Air Conditioning & Heating. a production of The Identity Tampa Bay and JoeBucsFan.com. **And Brooks drops a nugget on Vernon Hargreaves.**

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The once-hapless Cleveland Browns are making a move on the Buccaneers.

A big move.

Tampa Bay’s 11-year playoff drought is the longest in the NFC, but at least the Bucs could say they were looking down on the Browns, who have endured 11 consecutive losing seasons and haven’t reached the postseason since 2002. [read more]

Toxic environment in Baltimore for the new Bucs receiver.

Joe knew that new Bucs receiver Breshad Perriman had a rough career since being a first-round pick out of Central Florida. [read more]
