If healthy and hungry for interceptions and somehow becomes more durable
April 11th, 2025 at 12:29 pm
When healthy he is a decent to good corner. Also, Dean knows Bowles’ system. I doubt you can draft a corner in whatever round, that can step in and start day one, without a drop off. Nor do I see any of the corners on the roster making a huge jump from their rookie to their second year. Zion was just starting to get it all together in his 3rd year.

He should probably be a starter if this roster doesn’t change much besides just drafting another corner. if Bryce Hall is still recovering, Dean’s fully healthy and any rookie that we might draft is still learning the system… Dean starts.

Depends on who else is on roster on opening day
April 11th, 2025 at 1:04 pm
Yes, but I also want them to draft depth (helloooo Cobee Bryant).
April 11th, 2025 at 1:26 pm
Yes, unless they draft a new starter in round 1 or 2…
He’s a good corner when healthy, but hardly healthy in recent seasons… that’s no good.
April 11th, 2025 at 1:27 pm
If healthy but we should draft 2 DBs.
April 11th, 2025 at 1:30 pm
I’m not sure why people are arguing for Dean because he knows Bowles system.
Do you really want CBs that cover 15 yards off the ball on 3rd and 6?
The scheme is lousy no player will change that. Only Bowles can.
Insanity is doing the same things over and over while expecting different results.
The current roster is not getting it done.

Depends on the other options.
April 11th, 2025 at 1:54 pm
We will tolerate you until we can replace you.
April 11th, 2025 at 1:56 pm
This is exactly the answer

Yes, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t draft a CB.
April 11th, 2025 at 2:27 pm
Why wouldn’t we?
1. He knows the system
2. We’re under the cap
3. He’s good when healthy
4. If he’s not on the team, we’re down a starting CB
Having Dean doesn’t mean we don’t draft a corner. We can and should do both.
April 11th, 2025 at 2:34 pm
Fans don’t need to worry about cap space.
Let the almighty beer gut handle that.
April 11th, 2025 at 2:39 pm
We need a Nickel big time. Dean is good enough when healthy.
April 11th, 2025 at 2:48 pm
His problem is he can’t start (injured) when we want him to.
April 11th, 2025 at 4:06 pm
If he brings his crutches….

For most of last year, Jamel looked like he’d ‘lost a step’ and didn’t have close to the speed he had in 2020. Looked like he compensated by giving more cushion than he needed to.
Jamel has a superb Completion Allowed Percentage of 58.7% over his career. Last year that percentage climbed to 69.7%, after climbing to 66.1% in 2023. Those were both the highest of his career, by far. Plus the total passing yardage that he allowed (511 yards in 2024 and 484 yards in 2023) were also both the highest of his career. IOW, his PERFORMANCE is headed in the wrong direction.
I’m all in favor of drafting his replacement later this month, but letting Dean start IF his performance warrants. The talent’s there, I’m no longer sure that the physical capability is.

The Sage will not gonna like this result
April 11th, 2025 at 5:09 pm
I thibk we are past the point of wondering if Dean will be healthy during the season. From what we have seen all these years the answer is he probably wont.
He is not a player that you can rely on.
We need better defense. We need better pash rush. We need better coverage.
Maybe some fresh faces will help turn things around.
Go Bucs
April 11th, 2025 at 5:09 pm
If he starts this year Licht failed in the draft let’s be honest…
April 11th, 2025 at 6:36 pm
The new Plan 9.
April 11th, 2025 at 7:08 pm
For all of yall screaming “when healthy” he is this and that he is often injured and when we need him he is always wearing a floppy hat! Idgaf about no rookie learning curve give me new blood….and whenever he is healthy enough to play he is always playing catch up with receivers plus he couldn’t catch a cold ass naked in Alaska!
April 11th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
There are reasons that the Bucs have been pathetic in pass coverage the last couple of years and Jamel Dean is one of those reasons whether healthy or not. Can’t believe the number here supporting this guy. He wouldn’t be a NFL starter on any other team.

As usual D.R. with a nuanced balance response.
“I’m all in favor of drafting his replacement later this month, but letting Dean start IF his performance warrants. The talent’s there, I’m no longer sure that the physical capability is.”
If we’re just talking results I agree 100%. HEDGE the bet on keeping Dean with a CB who can hopefully beat him out.
Nothing against Dean personally but as D.R. pointed out he’s been slipping and we’ve also witnessed his fragility on display the past few years.
Other than salary cap implications which I do not know I’m fine with drafting a great CB and let him compete with Dean. If nothing else it will add some much needed depth.

Trade him , if you can get anything at all
