Jameis Won’t Cash In
May 9th, 2019
Too much still to prove?
This very franchise could be at a massive crossroads come December.
What would and/or could happen if the Bucs are marching toward another top-five pick in the draft and an even more harrowing thought: America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston is struggling?
Could there be a complete and total organizational housecleaning with Team Glazer hitting the reset button and starting back from ground up?
There is one thing that the creator, curator and overall guru of “Pro Football Talk,” the great Mike Florio, is willing to lay cash on. Whatever happens with Jameis, Florio is taking a stab that he won’t get a big-monied, long-term deal after this season, the final season of his current contract.
Buccaneers G.M. Jason Licht has made it clear that they’re taking a wait-and-see approach with Winston, whose contract expires after 2019. Some would say there’s no reason to wait, because they’ve arguably seen enough from the first overall pick in the 2015 draft. Coach Bruce Arians told ESPN during the draft that Winston needs to stop “throwing the ball to the other team.” That’s easier said than done, especially when Winston has a bad habit of trying to do more than his physical abilities will allow.
Well, Bucco Bruce Arians was hired with the express purpose of getting Jameis back on track as one of the up-and-coming young quarterbacks. And Arians has a history of building quarterbacks, or at least fixing them.
If Jameis, heaven forbid, becomes the first quarterback Arians can’t put back on track, what then?
This past winter, Joe was chatting with an NFL general manager (not named “Jason Licht”) at the East-West Shrine practices at the Fruitdome in St. Petersburg. Joe and the general manager were talking about Jameis and the hiring of Arians. The general manager looked Joe in the eye and said, “Jameis is in good hands now.”
May 9th, 2019 at 3:05 pm
Now or never in year 5!
I’m so excited and I hope Jameis breaks out and realizes his potential as our QB and former #1 overall pick.
Go Bucs!
If it’s not up to snuff, then cut bait.

Huge pass to the coaching staff issued by the “real” Buc fans!!!!!!!!!
GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:11 pm
I think the bucs savior and only true hope Jameis is in good hands finally that being said unfortunately, BA is in the hands of the glazers hands…. not good, not good at all!
Let’s take a look back on some glazer highlights….
10 Basement Titles
16 Years since last meaningful win
11 years since last meaningful game
6 Post Season Wins in Franchise History
Proud Owners of Numerous WORST OF NFL HISTORY records for offense and defense
1 expired Lombardi that low standard bucfan can’t let go off….
5 Failed Regimes
More Jerry Springer moment than Jerry Springer
Proud Owners of the Worst Winning Percentage
So yes Jameis is in good hands but poor BA is screwed!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:13 pm
I don’t know about that. JW is gonna have to play “no risk it no biscuit” Farve-ish type football if we’re to outscore our opponents. He will have to match the other teams output if we’re to have a chance while under duress because of a weak offensive line and the fact we can’t generate a pass rush giving the bad guy all day to find open receivers. I bet JW sets a career season total of turnovers, while running for his football life. It will be another race to the bottom for the first pick in next years draft.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:14 pm
well, Winston just had an awfully talented team with Florida State..
And the current state includibg this very offseason with the Suckaneers:
it is what it is..
Suckaneers suck because of the FrontOffice they suck at talent evaluating and @ Roster building join the
Fire Licht Tonight movement !!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:15 pm
curent state of the Suckaneers:
O-line: rotten
>> will lead to bad rushing game (especially short yardage)
>> will lead to Jameis being in much more pressure
>> will hurt the Passing Game
—————–
WR/TE
only realy good ones that are not so easy to replace:
Godwin, OJ Howard, Mike Evans
rest is (easy) replaceable
only one injury away from being less than average = WR/TE corps..
no good depth..
so Offense isn’t in very good shape (=SuperBowl Contender Talent)
don’t get me started with the Defense..
just let me tell you, that besides the QB – the two Lines define a teams backbone..
the O line is rotten (Dotson is lacking and old, even if some dump people are still talking him up, as if he is an good RT – don’t give me sh.. it about some gradings by some sites – he’s simply just not good – lacks strengh, gets overmauled way too often in run and pass game..)
RG: is it possible to get worse?
Marpet: i’m good with him
Center: pffff, meeeh @ 10 Mio per year ?!
LT D.Smith = Dotson , maybe average, easy replaceable, could have had drafted many many better players instead of Smith back then, and time and time again
but Suckaneers suck @ drafting.. and @ evaluating talent..
so they even decided to throw alot of money @ Donovan Smith
and thats one of the reasons why Buccaneers are in Cap Hell, even though they got sh.. itty Talented Roster..
MLB’s have lower value, which means you can easily get an capable MLB per Draft or FreeAgency, while pass rushers come at premium cost (FreeAgency or generall high draft pick)
this year – many great D-liner were available (Clemson guys, and EdOliver the DT the Suckaneers weren’t drafting, will be one heck of a player barring injurys..)
and a good DT makes whole defense better (against the run and pass), thats why they have more value then MLB’s and this guy was a freaking sure shot of top talent, while our new MLB may have great Potential, and looks to be a okay or good player, the DT had more value >>> better prospect (pretty much best player available) and we only have/had VitaVea and McCoy as good DT’s..
as all teams tend rotate a lot, you can be very happy to have 3 very good ones.. especially since injurys happen all the time and MCoy is nearing the End of his career…
why is it that i can see it, but the guy getting lots of money to do it for are living is too stupid to realize all that?!
year after year i complain about things like:
getting rid of good players (Michael Bennett as Steve White always said he should have played more)
Matt Bryant (one of the best Kickers in the NFL)
and now some fans even want to cut McCoy
(when he should easily still be worth at least a 2nd round pick)
he is old but good – maybe not very good, thats debatetable, but he is way better than anything the Bucs have at DT besides VitaVea.. but Vea is a different type of player/DT..
and they spend too much money on too weak players like Dotson, Donovan Smith, Jensen
and in terms of drafting:
very often, there is still good talents on the board, but the Suckaneers just seem to like lesser talent..
year after year i say: draft this one if available, and the Suckaneers even get the oppertunity, but they decide to get another future Suckaneer and the player i wanted goes on to have good career…
realy year after year the same BS..
i am better than the whole “professional” Suckaneers Organisation @ evaluating talent..
it’s laughable
because i am an arm chair GM..
fans should start to boykott this Clown-Show until the Glazers decide to sign an actual intelligent football mind that is able to evaluate talent and to build a good Roster/Team..
this Suckaneer team is full of holes, is lacking talented players and it’s even in SallaryCapHell…
what the hfreaking heck..
Bucsfans, join the Fire-Licht-Tonight movement!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:17 pm
Keep giving it to him 813.
He’s kinda like my little whipping boy……NOSMAAL!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:19 pm
i think he’ll show enough for the front office to realize dirk was the wrong coach to develop him….
GO BUCS!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:21 pm
dooosh
LMAO!!!
i got you!!!
GO BUCS!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:22 pm
Joe Says ” What would and/or could happen if the Bucs are marching toward another top-five pick in the draft”
For the love of……draft a DEFENSIVE LINEMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:24 pm
if he’s lousy it’s easy. if he’s up and down it probably comes down to who else can be signed or drafted. if he plays fairly well or really well, it comes down to Jameis
he can do what he did as a rookie and tell his agents to quickly sign a fair deal or he can play the kirk cousins game and play under a franchise tag or two while proving he is worth top 5 money or higher
you don’t have to be the best in the league to decide to hold out to become the highest paid in the league – among others in recent years kirk cousins, joe flacco, and matt stafford have held that title while being firmly outside the top 10 performers at that position
i think if he plays well and doesn’t push to be north of $25 million, they’ll give him a long term deal and 2 years guaranteed with the necessary conduct clauses and whatnot.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:24 pm
@dooshlarue
Its funny from 813broccoli because that was the day and news broke that crash test dummy winston was suspended for 3 games and ultimately sunk the whole season!!!!!!!!! and part of that deal allegedly was that the bucs would lose a home game for London for the reduced “no contest” plea!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2019 will reveal answers to the sheep, that the “real” fans already know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:25 pm
Hmm..thanks for cheering all your readers up Joes…
the best risk reward in the NFL is taking a QB high in the draft and possibly getting 5 years of relatively cheap play from the MOST important position on the field…
that and the standard for comparison for young QB’s now is Patrick Mahomes who is likely to sign a new deal (the first year eligible ) next offseason for a multiyear 200 million dollar package..so we’ll have a season worth of Jameis’s highlights and Mahomes highlights to ponder …..Yep !….only a Buc fan knows the feeling
May 9th, 2019 at 3:25 pm
Of course jameis can put all the contract/money issues to rest by just..ballin out.
He say he wants to be up there with Brady and the best of the best. So..we waitin. Show us. There is no time like ..rat now baby..this year.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:26 pm
If we are 8-8 and still not sure we can franchise him next year before going all in on a 2nd contract.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:27 pm
8 – 8 lol this is a 3-13 organization at best 8 -8 pretty good joke thought.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:32 pm
He will throw for 4,300 yards and the Bucs wins 3 games. All of the local media and fans will be bragging about his passing yards.
Stats are for Losers

Byron Leftwich gave a very astute analysis of Jamies in his last press conference.
Basically, he said the Bucs have put Jamies in a bad position by giving up so many points and not having a running game which has made the Bucs one dimensional.
I hope the defense and running game see massive improvements this year.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:41 pm
If Jamesi plays like Brad Johnson he’ll have a great year….
May 9th, 2019 at 3:44 pm
Look at the amount of interceptions Luck and Peyton Manning threw their 4th years, and they both had a considerably better team, and better coaches. Give him a decent defense, and an average running game. I think the team is in good hands.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:44 pm
The fact that he has “still too much to proove” going into his 5th year says all you need to know. It’s not like the Bucs are 9-7 and keeps missing out on the playoffs. JW is not the answer and since the Bucs are cellar dwellers, why not get the best available QB in next year’s draft and start over again. Let’s not forget JW is one infraction away from banishment. Good luck and good riddance. Please ship Licht out as well. I’ll never understand the owners, coaches and GM’s allegiance to JW.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:46 pm
It doesn’t matter what any of us say now. Last time I checked there are 16 games left to determine that. & A fanbase that has patiently been waiting for a playoff berth, minimum.
This is a fun time to be a Buc fan cause we have new leadership running it now. This will be a different team in 2019. And that’s a great thing. We need change badly. Anybody that disagrees needs to check the scoreboard.
If this new era fails I’ll jump on the hatewagon. Until then this coaching staff has fully earned any bit of hope I have for them!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:51 pm
QB1 is not the issue. Never has been. No defense. No wins. Remember the 5 game winning streak at the end of the 2016 season. Defense is and always has been the issue. Just think about how many games we could have won if the defense made on stop. Definitely play off’s in 2016 and a winning record the last two years.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:54 pm
Talk about speculation!!!
Wow…..all of this is true, but what if?……and, what if?….and then of course there is what if? And, when all else has been exhausted….you are left with what if?
May 9th, 2019 at 3:55 pm
Yea boy. BA the miracle worker. On to the playoffs. (HA HA HE HE to the funny farm.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:55 pm
Well said Jimmy.
Not like we hired the Waterboy and are all acting delusional.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:56 pm
Let the season be played and lets judge every player with this coaching staff.
Willing to bet quite a few players will stand out this year especially on defense through defensive scheme and game plans tailored to each opponent.
May 9th, 2019 at 3:59 pm
Pelbuc……That’s doesn’t say it all. And that is the beautiful thing about sports……That’s why Kurt Warner was working at Publix and that why Warren Moon played in the NFL………..It’s also why Ryan Leaf was nothing more then an ordinary bust and why Mike Mumula place in the HOF was taken by our boy!!!
Try to make sense of it……you never will. But the least you can do is enjoy the ride cause it only goes around once!!
GO BUCS!!!!
May 9th, 2019 at 3:59 pm
If Jameis doesn’t get a new contract he will go somewhere else and win the SB. Jason Gump has created a perennial dumpster fire through his drafting and signing of big money free agents that don’t produce. Gump has been slow to effectively deal with the O-line and Defensive problems, always putting Jameis in a situation where he is scrambling to try to catch up. No defense, no protection and no running game , but it’s the QB’s fault. Steve Young part 2. Fire Gump, not Jameis.

realist
the funny part is that we started 2-1 so winston didnt “wreck” the season as you suggest….it was your room mate smitty who wrecked the season with his trash defense and dirk playing musical chairs with the QB’s…..
had we started 0-3 we would be talking about a different story….
but we’re not…..dirk got exposed and so did you….

@BucAllNight:
How many wins does your prediction give the Bucs. Stats don’t mean anything to us non-Jameis fan-boys
May 9th, 2019 at 4:23 pm
Jamie’s will be fine. No running game and no defense even Favre will be wild throwing. The best football from jameis was when Doug and sims were running and defense was ok. He will have a decent year not pro bowl. Bucs should sign him now and get a discount.
May 9th, 2019 at 4:35 pm
Que Sera Sera…whatever will be will be.
I’m hoping there’s a lot of kvetching over how much money is thrown at JW for 2020. If we are all beotching over huge amounts of money it means JW played well and we made the playoffs.
In fact I’ll say this….if this team makes the playoffs…it won’t matter how well JW played…it means he played well enough to get the first goal…reach the playoffs. Let’s reach the playoffs then we can start setting higher bars.
May 9th, 2019 at 4:39 pm
No way Arians fixes Jameis, the defense, the run game, defense and the kicking game in one off season.
If he can fix two of those things 7-8 wins is possible
Fix 3 units and 8-10 wins is a given
Fix all 4 he’s a god
Just too much wrong with this team to fix it all in one off season with an inept GM
May 9th, 2019 at 4:41 pm
if bucs go 5-11 again and jameis is the same offer him 15 mil and let him see who is going to give him more. Answer is NO ONE. If another 5-11 gm is gone, coach will have heart problems and bucs will be back or never moved off of rock bottom
May 9th, 2019 at 5:01 pm
There aren’t too many quarterbacks in the league ballin out with no run game and zero defense but hey the coach gm’s have all the answers.

May 9th, 2019 at 5:44 pm
You have a qb who continues to make mental mistakes … gonna say it until December comes … he’s not going to change … and to make it worse you over pay for a weak ass LT in Smith …. he is the GMC of the offense … this team roster is a joke
May 9th, 2019 at 5:47 pm
I pray that Evans come the end of his contract if we have the same BS on this team that mike really thinks about leaving Tampa because his numbers would be sooooo much better on a team that has a real QB … I can only imagine if Evans had a quarterback named Aaron Rodgers or Phillip rivers or even baker mayfield OMG
May 9th, 2019 at 5:49 pm
So many players on this team that have talent are risking so many accolades in the future to stay with this mediocrity in Tampa … good thing desean left … he wasted 2 years
May 9th, 2019 at 5:51 pm
Bucs sold their souls in 2002 … and we are paying the piper 17 years later
May 9th, 2019 at 6:09 pm
Exactly why they should have drafted Grier when they had the chance
May 9th, 2019 at 6:45 pm
When you down by 20 points don’t blame the QB for throwing interceptions.
May 9th, 2019 at 6:54 pm
^^^especially when its our QB who put them 20 points ahead …stupid comment
May 9th, 2019 at 7:11 pm
Jameis will be Jameis. At least we don’t have Mariota.
BA is here for yet another golden parachute.
BUT…beside all that, have you all noticed how often @Joe (s) haven’t “broken” any news over the past….month basically…and have FAR TOO OFTEN done a congratulations, citing, or “hat tip” to miss Lois (Jenna) Laine???. Wayyy circumspect.
These dudes, just aren’t workin. The only point for advertisers…is to…break…news.
Curious…and curiouser. As wise folks have said.
May 9th, 2019 at 7:58 pm
sry jackwagon, i think the joes are starting to speak the truth on this BS regime at one buc and possibly are on the outside, jenna is lichts lap dog and wont talk bad about the bucs ever. Its refreshing to hear the joes and ira get mad at the bs that comes from licht & arians
May 9th, 2019 at 8:17 pm
Not all bad news.. The Bucs could turn out getting:
Tua
Fromm
Herbert
If BA is so good with qbs then he would finally have a true qb to build around!
May 9th, 2019 at 8:26 pm
I’m thinking more of a top 3 pick.
May 9th, 2019 at 8:40 pm
The D ain’t fixed.
Still no running game.
So buh bye Jameis.
May 9th, 2019 at 8:45 pm
Realist your predictions aren’t really predictions anymore….
Really…they might move on from Winston?
Wow…you read it here first folks….I suppose you’ll read it again someday in a repost proclaiming how he was right.
May 9th, 2019 at 9:13 pm
7 year 200 Mill. 140 guaranteed. Just comparing that to the previous QBs we have had. If JW doesn’t even improve and still plays the way he does it is good for me. This is why BA says “JW is good for me” because if I’m a coach I would not rely on top 3 QB play. Heck no. I’m building a team. The defense loses more games for us than any entity on the team Stop it and quit getting blown out.
May 9th, 2019 at 9:21 pm
We needed a created QB player on Madden with 99 all across his attributes …… Maybe just Maybe we could of gotten back to 9-7 with the team the last 2 years …… JW is not good enough to carry one of the weakest squads ever.
May 9th, 2019 at 9:29 pm
A bad team can’t pay an average QB 20+ million dollars a year.
This team looks like a bad defense, no running game and top 5 pick.
Stop me if you have seen this movie.
I’m not even sure BA’s not here just for one last pay check before retirement.
“Yeah I’ll go to Tampa hire a million coaches so I can take it easy. And If it doesn’t work well I got big payday”. Odds are we clean house at the end of the season draft a QB.
And save your find another team to root for I have suffered with this team since the beginning.
May 9th, 2019 at 9:38 pm
JustaBucfan our QB dosen’t make the Defense rank 27th out of 30. Do you even watch the games. Your comment is stupid.
May 9th, 2019 at 9:43 pm
We can go 5-11 every year with Joe at QB why waste the money on this loser! If he doesn’t light it up this year cut him lose and start over. Licht already has us in cap hell, Do not continue the trend with the 5 and 11 team

Not into what ifs … rookie minicamp tomorrow how about some details on that
May 9th, 2019 at 10:15 pm
Boy stop,BA about to make Jameis a one hundred million dollar man. But y’all might look into Nick Fitzgerald,I think BA May want his version of Tayson Hill.
May 9th, 2019 at 10:18 pm
Go Bucs 72
Which is why you don’t give it back to the bad guys

There have been meaningful wins, just not winning seasons. Every division win, for example, is meaningful.

If they can’t decide..just franchise tag him.
He gets paid the avg. and one more year to,prove it. Ugh.
May 10th, 2019 at 5:50 am
If BA fails to do this then Jay-Miss’s career as a starter is over with because he’ll be known as a coach killer.

@jmarkbuc
Projections to tag a QB for the 2020 season will be just a couple of dollars more than 27 million!!!!!!!! If you still don’t know, then you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2019 will reveal answers to the sheep, that the “real” fans already know!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 10th, 2019 at 6:55 am
Can you just close your eyes, and imagine seeing Winston hoisting the Lombardi Trophy?? Nah, me neither. Time to move on.
May 10th, 2019 at 7:24 am
@Syl nailed it….People want to get rid of our young quarter back who is breaking a lot of previous records, NFL and Tampa’s but people and “Fans” want to toss him…..with who????
Jameis get better every year. 1st 4 years
2015 comp % 58.3 INT’S 15
2016 comp % 60.8 INT’S 18
2017 comp % 63.8 INT’S 11
2018 comp % 64.6 INT’S 14 total int’s 58
Maning’s 1st 4 years.
1998 comp % 56.7 INT’S 28
1999 comp % 62.1 INT’S 15
2000 comp % 62.5 INT’S 15
2001 comp % 62.7 INT’S 23 total int’s 81
Manning had better coaches and team his 1st 4 years, Like Syl said give this man an average defense and running game and the rest will take care of it’s self
May 10th, 2019 at 7:50 am
BA—hope you have a plan that has yet to be revealed to bring in a quality runner and a quality pass rusher.I know you are still evaluating and will cut the dead wood in time.We need the money and Jameis can’t make it without one more lineman and a top runner.
May 10th, 2019 at 7:54 am
Breaking “team” records is not impressive when the history of Bucs qbs is not very good at all
Breaking NFL records for “age” and yards when the league rules favor passing is unimpressive
Manning was never benched for a journeyman backup…
Jameis just needs to play consistent and not cost the Bucs games
May 10th, 2019 at 9:38 am
We are talking about giving this guy a long term 100 million dollar contract?
He hasn’t won an away game since 2016!
He had 3 wins last year…3! And that was with the best group of receivers in the league.
We have the same O line, the same running backs yet half of those receivers and you expect him to get better?
I won’t miss Jameis after this year.
May 10th, 2019 at 11:43 am
Here we go again with the weekly NEGATIVE JAMEIS TAKE! No one can succeed with a D that gives up 30 a game! Carson Palmer was a pick magnate but the scarfs overcame that and won games because Arians had a great D and a coaching staff that was NOT CLUELSS like the BUCS staff. Jameis will be fine

I want to win and not have an embarrassment as our QB. This is the last year of Winston.
Finally, we can move in another direction.

They are undecided on JW3…But passed on Drew Lock in the 2nd & reached for Bunting @ 39…. Makes total sense in Licht’s head, but NO ONE else.
If your not sold on JW3… You take the 1st rd talent that slides! Lock will be a STUD in this league. Mark it down.
(With the consistent blunders by this FO, it amazes me that the Glazers haven’t cleaned house from top-to-btm….Any armchair GM – Bucs FAN could assemble consistent 5-11/6-10 teams -w/o a scouting dept – for a hell of a lot less of Team Glazers $$$!!!)

When you down by 20 points don’t blame the QB for throwing interceptions.
you start to blame the QB when 2 of his interceptions resulted in touchdowns for the other team…
