“Dunderhead” To D.C.; Geno Hayes To Jaguars
March 14th, 2013
No lover of snap counts, longtime Bucs right tackle Jeremy Trueblood has moved on. He’ll compete for a starting gig with the Redskins, so reports the Washington Post.
One of the funnier media moments this millennium went down when a Sarasota Herald-Tribune editor tried to secretly blast Trueblood, labeling him “Team Dunderhead,” but it didn’t slip past Joe.
Trueblood will always be remembered for his false starts and general underachievement. His finest move might have been fleecing the Bucs for $4 million last season.
In other ex-Buccaneer movement, Geno Tase-Me-If-You-Can Hayes has signed with the Jaguars. It’s Hayes’ third team in three years. He’s still just 25 years old.

Is it just me or does it seem like an unusual amount of our castoffs seem to end up in washington?
March 14th, 2013 at 1:46 pm
Geno Hayes : looks like Tarzan , plays like Jane …
March 14th, 2013 at 1:52 pm
KC signed Sean Smith, and they picked him up with the Budweiser Clydesdales
March 14th, 2013 at 1:54 pm
Silence – Bruce Allen is the GM up there. He’s our old GM and personally oversaw many of the player acquisitions that we are now “casting off”, so it would make sense that he would want the players that he helped sign on his new team.
Then there’s Raheem, our old head coach who’s their secondary coach now… he’s worked personally with all these guys. I’m sure his input goes into the decisions as well..
March 14th, 2013 at 1:55 pm
shocking given the fact that Bruce Allen is there general manager.
March 14th, 2013 at 1:58 pm
jeez man I cant believe we are letting all the good CB get away…if we dont get one we are very very stupid.
March 14th, 2013 at 1:59 pm
or very smart ^^^
March 14th, 2013 at 2:05 pm
Just read that K.C. signed Sean Smith…I hope all this Revis stuff hasn’t cost us a chance to get one of the other DB’s we were looking for.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:08 pm
Still CBs out there. Cary Williams, Mike Jenkins anybody?
Maybe a RT that is a good run blocker?
March 14th, 2013 at 2:08 pm
Brent Grimes will re-sign with Atlanta Falcons
March 14th, 2013 at 2:09 pm
Now it’s Sean Smith, Derek Cox, Greg Toler, DRC gone. Man, if the Bucs can’t wrap up the Revis trade the CB leftovers are getting eaten up quick. There’s no way in the world the Bucs can fail to upgrade the CB position with AT LEAST one free agent. Minimum.
I hope Dominik isn’t getting played by Idzik and backed into a corner (no pun intended).
March 14th, 2013 at 2:11 pm
With Smith off the board, I wouldn’t mind us go after Cary Williams. Solid Tackler, and has the chip on his shoulder attitude you’d like to see.
I’m curious to see what Smith signed for.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
The Bears signed M. Bennett..
March 14th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
@ raphael
how in the heck would that be “very smart” when we are in dire need of one?
March 14th, 2013 at 2:14 pm
Philly bidding war with Detroit for Cary Williams
March 14th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Mike Jenkins is in Jacksonville
March 14th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Im telling you all revis will be a buc by the weekend were only team rumored to be interested.also with all these other cbs dropping like flys ie cox,smith,toler,powers were going to get a corner dom and schiano know they have to. Were not jumping at theses other guys bc we know revis is coming to town.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:19 pm
Michael Bennett headed to Miami
March 14th, 2013 at 2:23 pm
Atlanta rumored to also have submitted a trade proposal to Jets, but they have pick #30 first round.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:24 pm
If Dom wanted any of those guys, I think he would have flown them in & signed them by now.
I am a bit surprised they didn’t sign Bennett given the market, but that tells me they are going DE in the draft.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Saints sign CB Keenan Lewis
March 14th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
I don’t feel bad about missing out on Sean Smith or some of the other CBs taken already. With the time passing in 1st tier FA, what was the restructure of Jackson and Nicks for? Surely not in anticipation of the Revis deal.
If after Goldson, we’re just going to focus on acquiring depth like Casillas in FA, and they’re depending on the draft to fix the secondary and make a run for the playoffs, in my opinion is a bad strategy.
I’ll be patient and wait and see but I’m getting the yips again! lol
March 14th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
They clearly have a plan. If they wanted an available CB badly, they would have signed them already as they did Goldson. They know more than we do, so best to sit tight and watch things completely unfold before getting all girly.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:34 pm
Brent Grimes is still on the table
March 14th, 2013 at 2:35 pm
Bruce Allen is a douche fart. So is Raheem. Glad those two fools are out of Tampa
March 14th, 2013 at 2:41 pm
I hope they sign Talib.
Shanahan takes 1 step forward. Morris will alway bring them 2 steps back.
What a moron that guy is.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:44 pm
Maybe ronde can come back at corner too, even if he has lost a step he has plenty of help over the top now. He sisnt look like he lost a step to me on those int returns last year
March 14th, 2013 at 2:45 pm
can’t believe we have not signed a corner yet. we need more than 1!!!!
and they don’t even know if they’ll get revis. dom is blowing it on this one..
March 14th, 2013 at 2:47 pm
Looks like it’s time to start focusing on the draft
March 14th, 2013 at 2:49 pm
I don’t think Revis has anything to do with our FA shopping. I think its a matter of the front office content to start Bowers and Claiborne and don’t think highly of the FA CB’s
March 14th, 2013 at 2:51 pm
i hope TrueBlood can tell us what the playoffs look like up there.
5 years and counting for the lasting contender
March 14th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
And on the 4th Monday of this week we still have not heard anything from Barber.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:58 pm
Maybe sign Jammer & draft a guy.
March 14th, 2013 at 2:59 pm
KC got Sean Smith for 6mil/yr. Obviously we didn’t want him and neither did Miami.
March 14th, 2013 at 3:01 pm
It’s Clayborn for f***s sake! Why can’t anyone get his last name right?
March 14th, 2013 at 3:01 pm
We’ve been needing 2 starting cover cornerbacks since the beginning of last year, and we still have none. Maybe Barron and Goldson can do it all.
March 14th, 2013 at 3:04 pm
Wouldnt mind us going after dumerville when he is released
March 14th, 2013 at 3:04 pm
With all this get a CB in the draft talk. Is there one that can come in and be an impact player now like Barron, David and Martin that will be there at our pick?
March 14th, 2013 at 3:06 pm
STBU – Couldn’t agree more. It seems that the last two years of smart plays in the draft and free agency would have people resting a little easier that this front office might have an idea about how this thing works. Let’s give them a few days to iron things out and then see how the draft goes before we kill them for what they’re doing.
As a Bucs fan living in the DC area I’ve seen too many times where the Redskins crush it in the offseason and flounder during the regular season. So, I’m perfectly content to make the right moves and not the splash moves.
March 14th, 2013 at 3:11 pm
I’m guessing here but I think Schiano has slammed his fist on the table and one way or another, it’s going to be Revis. It also probably means we re-do the Wright contract and we get Trufant or Logan Ryan in the draft (2 guys he likes).
I don’t know at this point what else it could be!
March 14th, 2013 at 3:18 pm
@BucFan20 Tyler Eifert. TE. This is why I would love for us to get Revis it would allow us to get a gamechanger like Eifert.
March 14th, 2013 at 3:21 pm
We really need some help at CB. I like the Goldson signing but we need/needed at least two FA CBs IMO. With so many other needs (DE, DT, OT, TE) the Bucs can’t afford to rely on the draft to shore up the backfield.
I swear if they trot Eric Wright’s average a** out there on opening day at anything but a drastically reduced salary, I am going to lose my mind.
I wouldn’t mind Revis wearing Pewter and Gold depending on what we have to pay and give up draft wise. I would of rather had Cox and Smith, both for about the same price as Revis and both much better than Eric Wright.
Too many holes to fill and too little depth in the trenches right now.
Come on Bucs!
March 14th, 2013 at 3:36 pm
If they plan on taking a CB in the 1st round then you might as well trade the pick for Revis as he is leaps and bounds better then any CB available including Milliner who will be gone by #13 any way.
I think they plan on going after a DE, TE, DT or RT in the first. Much more upside in those positions in Rd 1 than at CB, and that’s why they don’t want to give up the pick.
Re-signing Bennett or Miller would be huge along with two FA CBs if we don’t get Revis. You get rid of Wright and then Dom can work his magic in the draft. With all our picks intact we could end up trading into the first again and scoring some quality day on starters.
Go Bucs!
March 14th, 2013 at 4:11 pm
We have let all the other CB slip through our fingers. We can’t just depend on the draft. This on has me concerned.
March 14th, 2013 at 4:19 pm
Williams is off the board, Eagles…Falcons nabbed Steven Jackson too
March 14th, 2013 at 4:24 pm
Only 2 CBs worth a damn are left. Revis and Grimes
March 14th, 2013 at 4:33 pm
you people need to get a job
March 14th, 2013 at 4:33 pm
Great start to FA with Goldson, but recently it has F-ING SUCKED. Dominik signs a LB that is very injury prone, where is a CB pick up? at this point with C.Williams and K.Lewis gone we pretty much have to trade for Revis, Jets probaly know the CB market is pretty much gone so they will probably convince Dominik to give this years first. FFS
March 14th, 2013 at 4:40 pm
I wonder as well, with all these good( not great) corners going at below market prices GET ONE!!! ALL of them are better then any we have or had on the team alst season. I know they have a plan, I just don’t like them all in on Revis.
March 14th, 2013 at 4:51 pm
Robbie,
According to PFF, E.J. Biggers is the best of the rest and I’m excluding Talib and Asomugha. It’s now Revis and/or the draft! Go figure!
March 14th, 2013 at 4:58 pm
Mr Oboma can you pass out some of your free condoms , I’m beginning to believed we’re F@@@@ed!
March 14th, 2013 at 5:01 pm
Grimes would be nice at this point, but it seems more likely that Revis will be a Buc. I just hope there are conditions in the trade.
March 14th, 2013 at 5:31 pm
I understand Dom’s thinking.
Cary Williams wouldve been great.
Hes a hard hitter and plays mad. But hes 28. So…..
I am very happy we didnt sign Sean Smith! He sucks!
I like the idea of Antoine Winfield as a run stopping CB.
I like the idea of Grimes. His hero is Ronde.
And I like the idea of drafting 2 FAST, young corners.
Dont worry guys. Dashin Goldson was a great signing.
He will help make our corners better.
Now if we can Revis?
Mannnnnnn…..
So dope!
Dont worry about his knee…hell be fine….
Go Bucs!
March 14th, 2013 at 6:58 pm
Love the Pix of TrueBlood!! He may not be a good RT, but that is a big boy and that ref looks scared lol
March 14th, 2013 at 9:00 pm
Bucs have horrible luck with RTs. Walker…Trueblood…the list goes on. Best idea is to trade for one or get one in FA…because we can’t draft a good one.
March 15th, 2013 at 12:33 pm
He’s Badblood now: http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2013/03/trueblood-takes-a-shot-at-some-bucs-fans-on-the-way-out.html
