The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been pretty clear that they don’t have TE Kellen Winslow, Jr. in their plans. It’s already been reported that they were trying to trade him to the Chicago Bears this past offseason, but the Bears were more interested in getting Brandon Marshall So now, the Bucs will probably take anything [...]
Well, this isn’t good. In the early 2011 draft season, there were many mock drafts and experts who had Clemson DE Da’Quan Bowers as the No. 1-overall pick. Yep, the top pick. But, as we got closer to the draft, his stock fell due to concerns about his knee, which had microfracture surgery on it. [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib came into the league with character issues. No one denied his ability to play football, but there were several red flags regarding his behavior. And sure enough, those concerns were warranted. He’s had numerous scrapes with the law since joining the NFL and his latest act is probably his [...]
Yay! It’s time for NFL free agency and things are already off to a hot start, especially with the wide receivers. We mentioned earlier that the Chicago Bears got their hands on Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins. Now, sources tell Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times that San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson [...]
A friend’s mother used to say years ago that when you are constantly having problems with people around you, you’re the problem. And it’s very true, especially in the case of troubled Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib. Talib is already awaiting a trial later this month on aggravated assault charges, stemming from an incident [...]
At one point, Albert Haynesworth was a prized free agent acquisition. He was coming off a couple of seasons in Tennessee where he was an absolute monster for the Titans. So, the Washington Redskins – as they often do – made a huge mistake and gave him some $41 million in guaranteed money. They were [...]
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. There are several stories of him getting away with rape, and his name has been tied to police-related activities numerous times. And it looks like he wants to keep it going. [...]
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. And for the last several hours or so, he’s been a member of a jail cell. Quarles was arrested around 2:30 AM Friday morning in Tampa on DUI charges. [...]
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. It seems that he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken into custody. He had a blood-alcohol concentration of between 0.065 and 0.061. But…isn’t the legal limit 0.08? It is, but he was [...]
If this isn’t the last straw for Jerramy Stevens then we don’t know what is. The troubled tight end has had numerous run-ins with the law, but has been clean since joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007. That is until he was arrested on Saturday night. 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 have announced that they have signed DT Brian Price. Drafted No. 35 overall in the second round of the 2010 draft, Price is currently the highest NFL draft pick to get signed. “I’m glad my agent got the deal done, so now I can concentrate on having a great training camp,” [...]
In one of the best stories of the summer, Tampa Bay Buccaneers right tackle Jeremy Trueblood spent a night in jail after suspician of public intoxication while being disorderly at a gas station with his mother driving the getaway car.
