“Mark, can you ever imagine the day when the Bucs can actually find a defensive end who can sack a quarterback five times in a season?”
Two guys who have a recent history of making quarterbacks eat dirt have landed on the street this afternoon unemployed. And here are the Bucs standing at an intersection like a fireman with a boot asking every driver if he or she can sack a quarterback. [read more]
Possible target
Even iconic Buccaneers Derrick Brooks and Ronde Barber would applaud for this guy’s combined fortitude and talent. [read more]

Possible free agent risky.
A few hours after the free agency dinner bell rang in 2016, then-Bucs running back Doug Martin seemed to flirt with other teams as he didn’t immediately re-up with the Bucs. [read more]
No, the headline isn’t a Jameis Winston driving joke. [read more]

Brentson Buckner and I have a little history together.
The new defensive line coach of the Buccaneers was a proud member of Carolina’s formidable front four in the summer of 2003, when Tampa Bay was preparing to defend its Super Bowl title.
The late, great Tampa Tribune spent money in those days, so the sports department sent me up to Spartanburg (Panthers) and Flowery Branch (Falcons) during training camp to check on a pair of division rivals. [read more]
