whatever happened to our guy that got caught with a loaded gun in the airport?

[KryptonKnight]

Was hoping to give up Blount in exchange for the 6th rounder, but I guess the Jets don't want him.

Would you guys rather keep Blount to back up Martin, or try to find another running back?

I liked blount, we just added a rb forgot his name and what about lurig?

That was Bowers. Haven't heard chit since he got arrested. Assuming he doesn't do time, I think the league may take it easy on him.

It's not like he tried to hop on the plane with the gun, hijack a 747, shot himself in the leg, took ********, or beat his momma with a baseball cap.

We kinda need him back to start the season.

Brian Leonard from the Bengals. My understanding that he is more a special teams guys and may see a couple of touches on 3rd down. He wouldn't be the #2 guy behind Martin though.

He's also pushing 30, not sure how much he has in him or what he can do. Wish Schiano would stop signing all these Rutgers guys.

Hoping we snag someone like Giovanni Bernard or Le'Veon Bell in the 4th or so, regardless of whether or not we keep Blount.

No info on Lorig.

yea that sucks man feel bad he probably just forgot about that being there

Wright resigned for like a $1.5mil.

[IraHays]

With limited knowledge of his attitude, I'm fine with Blount as a backup.

If he's moping, whining and giving attitude then he will go.

Got into Schiano's doghouse almost immediately. Apprently had a bad attitude and missed some team meetings. Brb pro football player who can't afford an alarm clock.

just happened?

Yes. Restructured Wright and re-signed Orlovsky.

1. Last time I checked 4-3 one gap systems didn't have Nose Tackles. DT ≠ NT.

2. Clark is not under contract. Did not know if he would come back or not. Still haven't heard anything official. Either way, I'm sure his 435 yds, 4 TDs will be missed. However, Crabtree caught 8 passes, 3 of which went for touchdowns. If we give him Clark's 47 passes, I'm sure he won't disappoint.

It is a passing league, but no one said those passes have to go to a TE. WR > TE still when it comes to catching passes. TEs are on the field to do whatever they are told to do. Lot of teams do not have a great receiving TE- Green Bay immediately comes to mind. When you can create mismatches with good receivers, you don't have to throw it to a TE. Furthermore, most teams with great receiving TEs do not have great receivers. NE had Welker, now the have no wideouts.

3. Haven't seen a mock (by a professional) in which Milliner drops lower than 6th. Slim chance of taking him there if that team also wanted him.

4. Already told you Honey Booboo won't be a Buccaneer. Why reach in the 3rd for a corner like him when you could take someone like Alford or Amerson?

The fact that you even consider mocks reliable makes me question your entire being. I didn't see one mock last year that had us taking Barron, but we did...and we also found out that he was the guy we were going for all along. Sure, a draft like last year the number 1 and 2 picks were for sure luck and griffin..but anything beyond those first few draft picks are anyone's game.

[IraHays]

Fuuuuuk, not this sh*t again.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

As for mocks, I never said they were reliable, they're just a frame of reference. Also the fact that the best cornerback from *the* premiere college football program is a hot commodity. He has all the tools and he's kept his nose clean. Talent is obvious, but character is very important when determining where rookies get taken. Not every coach is Marvin Lewis or believes in taking unnecessary risks.

Cornerback is one of four premiere positions in football. With all the teams still needing corners it's laughable to think Milliner slips out of the top spots.

I'll take it, but it's just more unused cap space the Bucs won't use. Funny how some ******** cost that dude $6 million in guaranteed money. What a dumbass.

******** is a helluva drug lol.

If Revis signs with the Bucs, that's basically his money.

Isn't this the year teams have to use 90% of cap?

[KryptonKnight]

Isn't this the year teams have to use 90% of cap?

No, 89% of the salary cap; it's cumulative over the 4 years (2013-2016) for all teams.

In other words, the Bucs only have to have averaged 89% of the cap by the end of the 2016 season.

They could save money now and blow cash like Big Meech later.

[wo0t]

Think I'm over the idea of us getting Revis. Multiple top draft picks along with massively overpaying him compared to the deflated CB market. Also, with no guarantee we even get to keep him once his contract expires after a year.

They just need to fckn do it already.


Idzik is a ****ty GM I can tell by how sloppy/greedy he is

Schiano is going to ruin our franchise

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/h...erback/2114014

There’s a reason for this: The Bucs, as an organization, aren’t all that concerned about the record-breaking Freeman and the quarterback position. In fact, people close to Freeman have confirmed that Just about everyone at One Buc Place seems onboard with Freeman except for one person: Schiano.

Whether that’s because the head coach didn’t draft Freeman or because he feels he hasn’t seen enough, everything you’ve read and heard about the Bucs looking into quarterbacks in free agency and the draft has been driven almost exclusively by Schiano.

I don't understand this guy at all.

Pretty sure they would not send the picks without a signed contract in the other hand, but I'm not sure exactly how this would work out mechanically.

Obviously once compensation is agreed to make the trade, Revis would have to pass a physical by Bucs doctors. Since he's coming off the ACL they'd have to judge whether or no he's likely to return to form based on his current condition. If the docs 'fail' him I think the deal would fall apart.

Assuming he passes, they'd have to hammer out a new contract.

The only fathomable way a trade like this could occur. It would unthinkable to hand over picks for a player sight unseen and hope he's not a hobbled bust.

Very much this. I can understand not being married to a player from another regime, but we have much bigger issues at the moment.

Schiano may not know his clock is slowly ticking, but his job is kinda already on the line, as is Dom's (definitely). Not sure how many losing seasons Schiano gets before we make another head coaching change.

I also understand wanting to have players you're familiar with, but Rutgers has a very mediocre program. Not sure I'd stake my success on that school's products simply for the sake of nostalgia.

Suffice it to say Freeman is the best quarterback our franchise has ever had. His TDs and comp % need to up while keeping his INTs down. Might be difficult for him in a vertical scheme.

Not sure exactly what Schiano would have us do. The whole pick mortgaging thing with Revis could very well prevent him from drafting his guy, and I'm not aware of any starting quarterbacks better than Freeman we can sign this year or next in free agency.

Probably better to encourage Freeman and hope he succeeds rather than bash him publicly. Schiano may not have time to install another QB before he's sent packing.

[reLaxx1]

Right now there are no alternatives to Freeman. No free agents or high level QB's in the draft. He's has another season to prove that he is the QB we need. It's really all on him. The fact that a new coach comes in and doesn't want him isn't something he can really change, unless he comes in and blows Schiano away.

And still wondering how this Revis **** will playout.

This is what I thought, but I wouldn't put it past Schiano to do something stupid like trading or cutting Freeman after this season.

No matter how well he does, I get the feeling it won't be enough for Schiano.

Bowers was in court today, charges got bumped down.

Looks like he'll be good to go.
