Report: Ke’Shawn Vaughn Available For Trade
October 20th, 2022
Bottomed out?
If you are wondering where Bucs third-year running back Sneak Vaughn has been hiding, if a report from a solid NFL reporter is correct, Vaughn might be harder to find around these parts soon.
The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 1 at 4 p.m., less than two weeks away. And don’t be shocked if Vaughn is shipped out.
Matt Lombardo of Heavy.com, a former Eagles and Giants beat guy for NJ.com and current NFL columnist, says he heard Vaughn is available.
Joe wonders why Vaughn has fallen off the map so quickly. Last year Vaughn seemed to be getting better and it also appeared Vaughn was a quality backup when he thrived late in the season and in the playoffs.
This season? Vaughn has been in the witness protection program. He has yet to take a snap on offense much less carry the rock. And last week in Pittsburgh he played the most this season logging half the snaps on special teams.
Vaughn has only been active for four games this fall.
For the Bucs running game to be dead last in the NFL, you are telling Joe that Vaughn can’t get a look-see? Either Vaughn has hacked off someone terribly or he’s hit rock bottom.
#Buccaneers RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn is a name to watch at the #NFL trade deadline and will be available, per sources.

Hitting rock bottom as Joe puts it, along with Cam Akers being available lowers Vaughn’s value I would think. What – maybe we get a sixth rounder in exchange for Vaughn?
October 20th, 2022 at 7:15 am
Sounds like the start of a firesale.
October 20th, 2022 at 7:20 am
Trade Vaughn? What are we looking to get back, a football, a tee or maybe an 8th round draft pick. lol
October 20th, 2022 at 7:23 am
They will trade him for another receive they wonāt throw the ball to.
October 20th, 2022 at 7:25 am
For what, a 2036 7th round pick?
October 20th, 2022 at 7:27 am
We won’t get much for him….
October 20th, 2022 at 7:29 am
He just hasn’t had the carries to prove himself since Fournette arrived. As is typical for Bucs players, he’ll probably get picked up by another team and become a star.
October 20th, 2022 at 7:29 am
6th or 7th of think. He got passed up by White, but we only HAVE like 3 backs that I’m aware of?
October 20th, 2022 at 7:38 am
He looked om in limited snaps last year. What is going to happen when they run Leeny into the ground. At this rate the guy is going to suffer a major injury by the BYE. Would make more sense to hold on to Vaughn and spell Lenny every few series.
October 20th, 2022 at 7:38 am
how?
October 20th, 2022 at 7:39 am
Just swap him for Cam Akers.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:00 am
you know what’s crazy? Akers is the better player but if we traded them straight up for each other is there any doubt that Vaughn would do quite well in the Rams scheme and Akers would average 3 yards per carry here?
October 20th, 2022 at 8:09 am
Vaughn has zero trade value.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:09 am
I think they decided Vaughn isn’t a pass catcher
October 20th, 2022 at 8:10 am
If you want to trade him maybe you should showcase him?
October 20th, 2022 at 8:20 am
Hey Ira-since Jason Cole broke the story about Jensen coming back possibly in November , and I am guessing you have Coles’ number-could you give him a ring and see if there is anything to this Jensen report??
October 20th, 2022 at 8:21 am
These reports always come from the players agent looking for a different opportunity
October 20th, 2022 at 8:24 am
This season is a bust. Dump Brady, let him go save his family, save the Bucs money, and play Trask. Trask played well in the preseason (with truck drivers), had a higher quarterback rating than both Gabbert and Brady in the last preseason game (look it up), and deserves it. If Trask were black, you’d all be screaming that the Bucs are rayciss for not giving him a shot. The Bucs are living in the past ā 2020 ā and it aināt coming back. Time to move on.

October 20th, 2022 at 8:27 am
Not the beginning of a fire sale to trade someone so mediocre. Bucs probably wonāt have any takers and probably should keep him in case of injury. Giovanni Bernard is no better when he comes back
October 20th, 2022 at 8:27 am
jason cole is a solid NFL reporter and a HOF voter like Ira-so please stop.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:33 am
Go back to sleep beano Trask sucks.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:33 am
Sounds real smart. NFL teams will be salivating over a running back who hasn’t carried the ball all season. LMAO
October 20th, 2022 at 8:35 am
Beano must be Traskās mom
October 20th, 2022 at 8:52 am
Well if there’s one reason to dump the GOAT it’s the passer rating of the 3rd string QB from the 3rd preseason game of the year! Sound logic. Ironclad. Thank you for your valuable contribution.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:54 am
This feels more like the Yucs canāt find a way to use him. Too busy running Fournette up the gut for 2 yard losses.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:54 am
Who is this “Keshawn Vaugh?” He’s a Buc? Never heard of him.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:57 am
Trade for What?? Crutches, knee and shoulder wraps for Lichts geriatric unit?
October 20th, 2022 at 8:57 am
Jeff stole mommys phone again aint that right troll boi
October 20th, 2022 at 9:18 am
My Momma thinks he’ll be packaged with a pick to get a left guard.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:24 am
“BAās Red Pen Says: Trask sucks”
Any facts to support that? That’s what I thought.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:27 am
Trade Vaughn and a 7th round draft pick to the Rams for Cam Akers…
I believe Akers can ball when healthy. He might benefit from a change of scenery.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:31 am
“Leighroy Says:Well if thereās one reason to dump the GOAT itās the passer rating of the 3rd string QB from the 3rd preseason game of the year!”
Leroy, you should have listened to your momma and stayed in grammar school. The reasons to dump Brady are many: we suck; we’re not winning the SB this year; he’s gone next year; he clearly has his head elsewhere; he’s acting like an azzhole missing team functions; I played ball, and can assure you the players resent his antics; so we’re wasting our year when we could be developing Trask (or not). Instead we’re hanging on to 2020 – which ain’t coming back – like a bunch of crybaby losers. Other teams have played their second and third string nobody-quarterbacks and done very well. But losers like you keep typing “the GOAT” when those days are over. LOSER.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:34 am
Because the Bucs dont know talent when they see it thats why we havent seen Vaugh on the field.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:36 am

“Sounds like the start of a firesale.”

Lol, really man?
Ke’Shawn Vaughn is a firesale?
Hardly.

EXACTLY.

At 3 and fricking 3…
the season is a “bust”.
Some fans are….. interesting.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:40 am
Oh you played ball? Sorry I didn’t realize you were a subject matter expert!
“We suck” is probably the argument of the decade, just so insightful and nuanced. Only someone who played could provide analysis like that. Good thing you listened to your momma and got your GED.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:54 am
Jason Licht has ZERO clue or eye on drafting Running backs, he definitely can pass on gifted running backs as in Dalvin Cook and at minimum 10 others who would have helped out the bucs
October 20th, 2022 at 10:01 am
Let him go someplace where they will let him play. I always wanted to see him on the field.
October 20th, 2022 at 10:41 am
He’s one of our best RB’s but they don’t know it. He runs hard and finds holes. Stupid to trade him.
October 20th, 2022 at 10:53 am
If he goes I might follow him instead of staying a Bucs fan.
I love the Bucs, but there is so little to love this season. The Den of Depression is raising its ugly head.
October 20th, 2022 at 11:04 am
Whoever said Vaughn has no trade value is 100% correct. If someone offers 7th rd.pick they better take it. Lets face it, he was never very good. There are probably RB’s not even in the league better than he.
October 20th, 2022 at 11:27 am
Heās really only interesting in a trade if that team is sending us a running back and they need someone to replace that player immediately somehow
David Montgomery from the Bears would be interesting.
October 20th, 2022 at 11:28 am
Vaughn or white leaves a lot to be desired might as well trade lenny and pass every down
October 20th, 2022 at 11:31 am
Starr Vaughn not trade him. I bet the rushing game gets better. Love lemme but he has gone back to dancing behind lime of scrimmage. Same for white.
October 20th, 2022 at 11:49 am
blow it up
October 20th, 2022 at 12:04 pm
He can’t be worse than No Legs Lenny when running the football.
October 20th, 2022 at 12:04 pm
I don’t get it. Why bother trading him? Why not use him? If all we’re gonna get is a 7th rounder, it just doesn’t seem worth it.
October 20th, 2022 at 1:34 pm
Crazy thing about it he has the best vision of all the running backs on this roster.. Bucs always ruin a good thing, drafted white when youāre already set at running back, if Iām Vaughn please trade me!
October 20th, 2022 at 1:35 pm
Guy avgs damn near 5ypc, like how do you trade that?
October 20th, 2022 at 2:36 pm
This is stupid as hell. He should be getting touches. He was a 3rd round pick and plays well when he gets carries.
October 20th, 2022 at 3:59 pm
A few things come to mind…
Brady doesn’t trust him to Pass Pro or Catch the dump-off.
Lenny is a beast…A true 3down RB: Very durable, dominating RB touches in 2022, is a proven protector with some juice out the backfield as a pass catcher.
White is just better…Another 3down RB, much more versatile & comes w/ WR worthy hands/routes. The RB1 of the future.
If the FO can flip him for another positional need or 5th-6th rd pick next yr…It’s worth exploring those possibilities.
October 20th, 2022 at 4:13 pm
Bucs have a bottom 3 run game, donāt think this guy is good enough to have a single carry, want to trade us a 2nd for him? Moronic
October 20th, 2022 at 4:49 pm
KSV has some trade value. It’s just minimal.
October 20th, 2022 at 5:48 pm
Vaughn has no touches on the 32nd-ranked run game, and he has trade value? Someone needs to put down the crack pipe.
October 20th, 2022 at 7:15 pm
Why would any team out there āpayā Vaughn to play football?
The Bucs havenāt even USED him in 3 years.
You canāt give away your trash and expect something of value in return.
Iām NOT saying he is trash. How would anyone even know if he is good or not.
Canāt be worse than pushing down a QB after he let the ball go 2 seconds ago.
Heās not worse than any of our other guys who have dropped passes and fumbled footballs and well just backed up while guys catch balls in front of them.
We arenāt deep anywhere, we arenāt rich, and we dint have a HC or Offensive Coordinator that any other team covets.
I can think about 15 other coaches I would rather have.
October 20th, 2022 at 8:03 pm
All Bucs RBs replaceable. Vaughn, probably the best pure runner of the bunch, deserves far more opportunities, whether here or elsewhere. A waste if he’s dumped. Lenny is average. Not a beast, not power. Mincing footwork requiring a head of steam and open field. Good receiving. Rachaad, a similar type but slow long striding.
This team needs a legit feature back that can carry an offense, and an OL that actually works.
October 20th, 2022 at 9:04 pm
I feel very confident in BL’s evaluation of Vaughn. If BL doesn’t like him, there must be talent somewhere. If they trade him for next to nothing, don’t be surprised if he plays well in the right situation.
