Free Agency Dinner Bell Rings In 36 Days
February 2nd, 2015
Joe’s already fired up. There’s no doubt the Bucs will be shopping for bodies on March 10, when the free agency dinner bell rings that Tuesday afternoon.
The only real question is whether or not Tampa Bay will be discount shopping. “Value” is the buzz word from the Bucs’ front office.
As always, stick with Joe all month long for all kinds of angles on free agency. Joe’s already taken a look at Bengals guards Clint Boling and James Carpenter, among others.

It will be interesting who the sign and go after. But Its just as exciting to see who they won’t sign players that were on last year’s roster.

February 2nd, 2015 at 12:21 pm
This team needs speed..
February 2nd, 2015 at 12:24 pm

February 2nd, 2015 at 12:36 pm

I was waiting for LUV to chime in….

@87
Don’t OVER spend on fringe talent. Get boots on the ground, and leave no stone unturned. Call in ever favor, and recommendation. By all means necessary REBUILD this Offensive Line.

@LUVMYBUCS
Absolutely love your knowledge of the prospects. Keep it going.

@bucsQcCity
Thank you brotha.
February 2nd, 2015 at 1:45 pm
LUV…I agree. In free agency and draft the O-line HAS to be a priority.
I read somewhere that this draft is deep with O-lineman.

2-14 teams normally have to overpay to get good players to sign with them. Lovie and Licht’s free agent track record entices me to keep my season ticket money.

My number one potential FA signing would have to be Broncos G/T Orlando Franklin! The guy is versatile can play both G positions and RT plus the guy coming from Denver knows what it takes to win.
Also by singing Franklin the Bucs would be filling a huge need while not having to give up too much like they would for a star LT. The only concern is that the Bucs would likely have to overpay a little bit to lure him away from a winning franchise like the Broncos. But again its not like he would require the kind of money a big time LT would.

Edge rushers in the FA. Go get em’
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:07 pm
Greg Hardy or Jason Pierre-Paul would be preferable.
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:13 pm
Does it matter? Last night, a free agent WR made his first catches, 100 yards and a TD while an undrafted CB recognized a play pre-snap from the practice squad and jumped the route for an INT.
When we are talking about 2nd, 3rd, 4th tier fee agent talent, quality coaching produces quality players. We don’t have that. We are not a quality franchise like Seattle and New England.
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:46 pm
Good god, let’s stop building from FA, and raise our own. Granted we need SOME FA. Look at what it has cost us since we start this FA building, hasn’t got us a dam this but set backs
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:47 pm
How is it knowledge of the prospects if he is copy and pasting heights and weights. Cmon lol. Thanks for the INFO tho

Theodore in all my days on this site I have not read a better post. However im not so say it was Belichick who watched film of a kid from Western Alabama
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:54 pm
One of the worst teams in the NFL. WHY would a player want to come here?
1. A large some of money.
2. A Starting job where the player never was good enough to begin with.
3. Better than being on the street.
It would not be because they just love this coach and want to help this team.
February 2nd, 2015 at 2:56 pm
I remember everybody on here trashing the bucs when they passed on Jon football. Hahahaha

After tossing big $$$ at free agents for the last 3 years, the lesson seems to be that those are more miss than hit. Value free agents are a safer bet and you can bolster the middle and lower tier players that way. A few starters out of the bunch would be great. Maybe they’ll sign one big-name impact player.
February 2nd, 2015 at 3:44 pm
All I can say about this year’s free agency period is that after last year’s choices, I’m more than a little nervous
February 2nd, 2015 at 3:45 pm
Oniel Cousins anyone?
February 2nd, 2015 at 3:48 pm
@ Thoedore
All good points. After watching those two teams in the Superbowl last night, we can all see how far away the Bucs really are
February 2nd, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Hardy or JPP, and NO MORE BENGALS!!!
You’d think L&L would learn fro last off seasons fiasco!
