Two members of Team Glazer, the Buccaneers’ ownership group.
Led by receipt-keeping Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht, the Bucs are feeding on the lack of respect the team is getting nationally.
More receivers needed?
The NFL calendar never really slows down except for the five or six weeks after June minicamp until the start of training camp. [read more]
Bucs DB Tykee Smith.
Yeah, Joe knows a bunch of fans are trying to pick the sleeper in the Bucs’ draft last month. It’s fun to try to project how players develop. [read more]
A tray of Hooters wings and their great salads, sandwiches and shrimp make for a heck of a lunch or dinner! Get it done! Locations are across the Bay area and online ordering is always easy from Joe’s great friends.
Rookie tight end Devin Culp.
Yes, Joe knows Bucs seventh-round draft pick Devin Culp is a long shot to stay with the team. But he has a trait that just may keep him in Tampa Bay when the 2024 season kicks off in four months. [read more]
“The data says offensive line, Mr. Glazer.”

But this has a cool twist. [read more]
It’s rare to hear an NFL coach talk about the money side of player management. It might come up at a press conference before free agency opens in March, but in May? [read more]
Rookie minicamp notes
This time Joe was prepared. [read more]
Goals of rookie minicamp.
Todd Bowles said it best yesterday when he was pressed about Tykee Smith’s pick in his very first practice as a Bucs player. [read more]
Rookie edge rusher Chris Braswell.

Danger, danger.
The much-maligned NFC South is poised to make the wrong kind of NFL history this fall unless at least one team raises its game. [read more]
Graham Barton, Tampa Bay’s first-round draft pick.
Day 1 of rookie minicamp — at center — seemed to go very well mentally on the field for Bucs first-round pick Graham Barton. [read more]
Interesting commentary today that jibes with what Joe had heard several weeks ago at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando. [read more]
