Bucs GM Jason Licht
It was Wednesday, the day after Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht survived his annual worst day of the year — when he must speak about his team before the hundreds of NFL national media types and NFL Network klieg lights— that left a popular national NFL talking head with questions.

Second tag coming?
This just seems like a strange move to Joe, though the immediate result is welcome.
Joe is resting somewhat comfortably this afternoon. [read more]
We are now exactly seven days (and zero seconds) until the Bucs can head outside their organization to put contracts in front of free agents — if they can’t retain their own. [read more]
Bucs center Robert Hainsey
Former Bucs tight end Anthony Becht worked at the NFL Scouting Combine last week as the official NFL mentor/guide/babysitter for tight ends in the 2022 NFL Draft class. [read more]
Potential winner if Bucs lose.
Next week could be really ugly for the Bucs. [read more]
Really?
Outside of Blaine Gabbert’s family, his agent and perhaps Gabbert himself, you will be lucky to find six people walking the face of the earth who didn’t shake their heads in disbelief last week listening to Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians hype Gabbert as Tom Brady’s successor.

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians
Remember years ago when Team Glazer said they never let a free agent escape One Buc Palace if they wanted to keep him?
Well, keep those words in mind in the next two weeks when it seems just about a foregone conclusion there will be at least one Bucs starter who will leave. [read more]
Trying to beat deadline to re-sign Ryan Jensen.
Let’s just say Ryan Jensen is in the driver’s seat. [read more]
“Hey Byron, look at what Lovie wants for Watson.”
After a week at the NFL Scouting Combine, well-plugged-in NFL writer Aaron Wilson fired up a new report today on the potential trading of creepy Texans quarterback DeShaun Watson. [read more]
Bucs CB Carlton Davis.
Well, this is sure one way to liven up an otherwise boring non-football Sunday afternoon. [read more]
Behind TheAthletic.com paywall lives a credible story about the Browns having interest in Pro Bowl Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin, among other receivers as Cleveland looks to overhaul its struggling receiving corps.
Bucs fans now sit eight short days from Cleveland being able to present an offer to Godwin’s handlers.
The siren blows on free agency at noon on March 14. Joe’s hoping it’s not a Buccaneers’ version of Black Monday.
Flash poll posted at 10:10 a.m. Poll closed at 9:33 p.m.
Honest mistake?
Too many nights in Indianapolis will do this to a sportswriter (Joe knows first-hand). [read more]
Very popular.
Joe has already brought word that the Bengals and the Jets are both looking to throw wads of cash at Bucs free agent center Ryan Jensen when the free agency dinner bell rings in eight short days.
Apparently, other teams are lurking to swoop up Jensen as well. [read more]
Joe firmly believes when a durable Hall of Fame grade pass rusher is available in free agency, the Bucs always should be interested and prepared to strike. [read more]
Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians
