Day 2 of the draft.

   Well day two is done and the Bucs made some trades on both days to acquire more picks. Nothing very significantcame of the trades and the draft went along fairly quick and smooth. Today’s picks were…

   3rd round: OG Jeramy Zuttah, Rutgers
   4th round: DT Dre Moore, Maryland
   5th round: QB Josh Johnson, San [...]

The Bucs draft coverage.

   The Bucs draft went off today without too much wildness. I saw rumors of a Jason Taylor trade, a Chad Johnson trade, a Lito Sheppard trade and all kinds of other crap I had not intention of paying attention to. I originally intended to cover this pick by pick but I again found myself annoyed with [...]

The draft.

   With the NFL draft coming up on Saturday it’s time for everyone to start making predictions and suggestions on what the Bucs should do. I’ve previously stated I don’t get into this stuff too much but it doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hear what everyone has to say. Here’s a couple links to [...]

Kiper’s thoughts on Bucs draft possibilities.

   For those of you Bucs junkies out there looking for anything Bucs check out Stephens Holder’s Bucs Beat today. He did a short Q & A with Mel Kiper and got his thoughts on the Bucs draft prospects. Personally I can’t stand Mel Kiper but if you’re looking for something to read or are one [...]

Bucs schedule released, could be a tough road.

   The NFL released their schedules for the upcoming season and in my opinion the Bucs could be in for a tough one. They’ve got the two games with the Falcons which should be the easiest part. They drew away games outside their conference in Denver, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City and Detroit. Say what you [...]

Email answers

   The Bucs have a busy week ahead of them with the draft less than two weeks away. They’re bringing in all types of hyped up potential draft picks. Just to make things clear for everyone I will report on the draft itself when picks are made and will continue to cover what actually happens. [...]

Bucs release preseason schedule. The Pats are coming.

   Rick Stroud of the St. Pete Times has released the Bucs preseason schedule for 2008. The Patriots will be here at 8p.m. on Aug 17th so bring your antispyware! The first game will be the week of Aug 7-11 in Miami followed by the Pats. The next week of Aug 21-25 they host the Jags [...]

Bucs draft busts.

   Pewter Report has a video up on their site of biggest Buc draft busts which is pretty good. Check it out here. The draft is at the end of the month and I’m not big on mock drafts myself but I’ll put something together to try and guess what the Bucs will do with their [...]

Bucs report- Gruden,Glazers

   All is eerily quiet on the Bucs homefront still so I dug up a couple tidbits for the Buc addicts from the St. Pete Times…

   The Bucs aren’t going to receive any compensatory picks in the draft at the end of the month. There were some hopes, I think due to Dewayne White, that [...]

Herm Edwards is a whiner.

   Herm Edwards has accused the Bucs of tampering. Really Herm?! I used to have alot of respect for Herm Edwards but after hearing him whine about Larry Johnson, Chad Pennington, etc… over the last few years,  and now the Bucs and Rams, he’s really just beginning to sound like a whiner. Apparently Herm’s upset over [...]

Bucs report-Carter back.

   In what has transpired to be a boring off-season the only news to report is the Bucs have retained DL Kevin Carter. Carter was a productive player for the Bucs last year in a limited role rotating with Gaines Adams, Greg White and the rest of the linemen. He was released just before the [...]

Bucs report

    There’s not a whole lot to report on in Bucs land but….

   The Bucs have officially signed S/CB Eugene Wilson. The deal is for one year and $1.8 million with $500,000 in guaranteed money. The St. Pete Times is saying that Wilson will be a nickel CB as most thought.
   Rick Stroud at the Times [...]

Bucs report

   There’s a couple things for the Bucs…

   According to pewterreport.comfree-agent wide receiver D.J. Hackett is visiting One Buc Place today. I guess if we sign enough injury riddled formerly productive players we’ll get something in return.
   A couple notes from Rick Stroud at the St. Pete Times show that the Bucs officially lost Kalvin [...]

Marinelli catching heat in Detroit

   I know its not directly Buc related but according to Stephen Holder of the St. Pete Times the Lions are being questioned for bringing in formers Bucs. In an article by Rob Parker, who Holder says is his buddy, Parker is giving Lions head coach Rod Marinelli and defensive coordinator Joe Barry (both former Buc [...]

Breaking Bucs news, Dunn coming home.

   In a late move today the Bucs have apparently convinced RB Warrick Dunn to come home. Dunn has reportedly agreed to a two year deal worth around $6 million. I definitely like this move as it brings a little old flavor back to town and provides more depth to the RB position. We now [...]

Bucs report

   A couple of tidbits for the Bucs today…

   Free agent WR Antonio Bryant was signed today. Bryant is a journeyman with talent who has bounced around the league the last few years due to legal issues and attitude. Every year the Bucs bring in a reclamation project who has had off field issues. It sort [...]

Bucs lose Kelly to Lions

   No real surprise here but CB Brian Kelly has apparently inked a three year deal with the Detroit Lions. The dollar amount has yet to be released but I’d expect it to be something like 6 to 8 million in guaranteed money. BK has been a mainstay since he was drafted in the second round [...]

Bucs Report (A little Gruden bashing)

   Nothing new here. I just wanted to rehash something that was brought up on the Ron and Ian showyesterday where it does seem that no one seems to be in a hurry to come play for Jon Gruden much less defend his antics. I completely agree with these statements and I hope Gruden has [...]

Bucs scouting Bulls.

   Monte Kiffin was at USF’s pro day today taking a look at some of the Bull’s players, in particular LB Ben Moffit and CB Mike Jenkins. Jenkins decided not to run the 40 today and let the 4.38 he ran at the combine stand. The Bucs are possibly looking at drafting a defensive player [...]
