When you go 10-6 one year with a promising young quarterback and then follow that up with a season where said young quarterback regresses big time and you finish the year with 10 straight losses, something has to change. And something did change for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they have fired head coach Raheem [...]
Pretty much every year there is a guy in the NFL draft who was projected to go high, but ends up falling for whatever reason. This year, it was definitely Clemson DE Da’Quan Bowers. Earlier in the year, many draftniks had him going No. 1-overall to the Carolina Panthers. That didn’t exactly happen and Bowers [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib might want to hold off on working out with his teammates during the lockout. It’s not that it wouldn’t be good for him to stay in shape, it’s just looking more and more like he won’t need to be fit and in game shape when football resumes. Why? Well, [...]
When we think of teams that collect guys who like to have run-ins with the law, we tend to think of the Cincinnati Bengals. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would love to be included in that discussion as well. And their latest bid for inclusion comes via defensive end Alex Magee, who was pulled over [...]
We mentioned a week or so ago that it seemed in all likelihood that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be cutting CB Aqib Talib when the lockout was resolved. This stemmed from yet another off-the-field incident in which Talib allegedly fired a gun (along with his mother) at his sister’s boyfriend. But head coach Raheem [...]
Coming out of Kansas University in 2008, CB Aqib Talib had some character concerns. He was a hell of a player, but had some off-field issues that had scared many teams away. But, apparently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren’t afraid of him, because they took him in the first round that year. He rewarded them [...]
We mentioned the other day that Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Aqib Talib was a “person of interest” in a Texas shooting a week ago. Talib allegedly fired gun shots at his sister’s boyfriend. Now, he has surrendered to the cops after there was a warrant out for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Shannon Billings, [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib is as talented on the field as he is troubled off of it. There were red flag character concerns for him all the way back to the 2008 NFL draft. And he seems to be at it again. The Garland, Texas Police Department consider him a “person of interest” [...]
Dating back to his days at the University of Washington, there is a ton of evidence that Jerramy Stevens should probably be in jail.

Shelton Quarles spent his entire 10-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a linebacker. At 39-years old, he’s now a member of their scouting department.

Remember Michael Clayton? No, not the former Miami Dolphins WR. His name was Mark anyway. Michael Clayton was a first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2004 and was actually really good his rookie year. Since then? Yeah, not so much. But good news for him. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’ll be [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams had a little incident with the drinky drink early Friday morning down in Florida.

Stevens was arrested in Hillsborough County on charges [...]
It is a very wild, wild week in the NFL this weekend and there is a lot to discuss. Why is it so wild? I have no clue. I just thought that if I said that, you’d just nod and agree without really thinking about the statement. I know you’ve been waiting anxiously to find [...]
This is exactly what Cadillac Williams owners wanted to hear. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris says that rookie LeGarrette Blount has earned the goal-line and short-yardage role for the team. “For me it was a mentality with LeGarrette Blount,” Morris said. “You know, we got the ball down on the 1 yard line. [...]
The Tampa Buccaneers have released RB Derrick Ward. It’s a little mind boggling considering they signed him to a four-year, $17 million contract last year, but he looks like he’s running on the beach right now. This means that Cadillac Williams is now clearly “the guy” in Tampa and should slide up fantasy draft boards. [...]
It’s early. Training camp has just started for just about every NFL team and we don’t really know much about the young kids. But, at some point, you need to see something. Anything. Something that makes you say, “oh wow.” And so far this offseason, we have not heard anything remotely like that about Tampa [...]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have gotten a stud defensive tackle for the next ten years when they took Gerald McCoy No. 3-overall. Or, he could be a total bust. Or, he could be somewhere in between. No one knows for sure. But what Tampa GM Mark Dominik says he knows, is that even if [...]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are pretty well aware that they won’t have their QB Ben Roethlisberger around for a couple games at the start of the season.

The Washington Redskins seem to be revamping their clubhouse in a very positive way and it all started with bringing coach Mike Shanahan on board and then trading for Donovan McNabb last Sunday. Now it’s time to get rid of the fat and what better place to start then defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth? Per NFL.com’s [...]
Jocklife.com is reporting that the Cincinnati Bengals and free agent WR Antonio Bryant have agreed to a four-year contract. Under the terms of the contract, Bryant will run fast and catch footballs when they are thrown to him. Jocklife is an agent-run site that does have some credibility, but this is by no means official.
