Only One Franchise Or Transition Tag In Play For 2020
March 15th, 2020
Freedom rings for America’s Quarterback
The new labor agreement approved today cements one critical point for Bucs fans and observers of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston.
Tampa Bay and every other team only can use either the franchise tag or the transition tag for 2020, not both, and the current deadline is tomorrow.
Citing an assumed Michael Bennett lesson, Joe proclaims there is no way the Bucs let NFL sacks leader Shaq Barrett hit free agency at 27 years old. So it appears it will be America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, getting set free to hit the streets and negotiate with other teams when the “legal tampering” period begins.
Who will want thee, Jameis?
It seems the Bucs’ streak of never drafting a quarterback who earned a second contract in Tampa will continue.

Shaq will get tagged Winston will get bagged.
March 15th, 2020 at 12:40 pm
Check ya sheet…….
You be bailin’ baby.

Bye CrabLeg Boy, GTFO of Tampa
March 15th, 2020 at 12:44 pm
Time for the turnover machine to hit the road.
March 15th, 2020 at 12:45 pm
I hope,,The Bucs surprise all of you and keep Jameis. And get to the playoffs with him..maybe even further. I’d luv to be the one posting here sayin, See, I told you so.

Ndog’s lighting all his candles on the altar!
March 15th, 2020 at 12:47 pm
Smell you later jay-lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next year, ole stale biscuit and his golf cart can hit the bricks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2020 at 12:48 pm
So the NFL has alerted Las Vegas hotels the draft will not be happening in late April.
NOT THE BIG STORM DRAFT PARTY
March 15th, 2020 at 12:53 pm
Poor NDog.
He will have to take his Winston butt-snorkeling to another town.
Lucky them…
March 15th, 2020 at 1:02 pm
It’s funny that j0e wants to insinuate that the bucs would have used the “transition” tag on jay-lose!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe will stop it here. Joe’s not insinuating anything. No reason to make things up. –Joe
March 15th, 2020 at 1:08 pm
All man!!!!!!!!
How about deleting the first sentence and then leave the second sentence so I can “realist repost” a year from now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2020 at 1:08 pm
It depends on whether the start of free agency is delayed, people.
Licht could strike a deal with Shaq, and then the tag could be used on Winston.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:09 pm
At least we will not have to hear complaining all day everyday about Winston. Im interested in seeing who everyone starts crying about next non stop. Especially if they get teddy and on 3 and 10 you start getting 2 yard passes
March 15th, 2020 at 1:09 pm
They probably want to get Suh, JPP and Nassib signed first before they offer Shaq a long term contract, and then use the tag on Jameis. Then again they’ll probably cave to Jameis’s demand and give him 30+ a season.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:10 pm
BREAKING NEWS: Titans passing on Brady. Making it now even more likely the Bucs can sign him.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:12 pm
Good. See ya later, America’s Interception Machine and Uber Driver Groper.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:14 pm
I still hope Jason and Bruce come to their senses and re-sign the best quarterback the Bucs have ever had. Don’t chase the ghost of Tom Brady. Invest in the next fifteen years of Winston.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:16 pm
Pay the man 100M.
100m throws.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:17 pm
Wouldn’t it be funny if they signed Shaq and franchise tagged Winston. The meltdown from the posters on this site would be epic.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:18 pm
If the phones rings it will be Jameis’s agent asking if he has heard from anyone, followed by the other way around. IMO Jameis will be one of the last big names to sing in FA and it won’t be early, scratch and dent bin.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:18 pm
More JW signed Easy to please Buc fan
March 15th, 2020 at 1:19 pm
Joe, the new cap is $198.2 million. What was the old cap? How much more do the Bucs have to spend on FA?
March 15th, 2020 at 1:20 pm
@bucs4evr
Worse in that scenario, would be the losing season because of those moves!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meltdown indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2020 at 1:20 pm
The old cap was 188 million so 10 mill more
March 15th, 2020 at 1:26 pm
Thank you for moderating my post @ 1:24 PM!
As usual please feel free to correct any spelling or grammatical errata you may find. ????–Joe
tickrdr
March 15th, 2020 at 1:26 pm
Sorry Joe. went from 88 to 98. Give the Bucs 10 mil more to spend.
March 15th, 2020 at 1:33 pm
Why is everyone assuming Shaq isn’t getting a contract?
March 15th, 2020 at 1:34 pm
Hit the road Winston, and DON’T try to take an Uber…actually dude, I don’t care. Cuz you are someone else’s problem now. GOOD RIDDANCE LOSER!
March 15th, 2020 at 1:35 pm
I can’t wait for the forced on us “nickname” Americas QB to land someplace else. Do we think that that “nickname” will continue in a new NFL city? I highly doubt it.

So two playoff teams are passing on Brady and the Bucs want him?
Typical Bucs!

If they start him his name will be America’s Coach Killa..

Brady signing for the Bucs would turn Tampa Bay into Buc fan central. Climb aboard everyone and let’s make a run at the playoffs. Let the turnover machine do whatever he wants. Tag Barret if you can’t sign him and turn the page on another of the losing chapters in Tampa Bays history. Better days are coming folks. Go Bucs! Good luck to the turnover machine. Thanks for the nasty roller coaster ride over the last five years. Won’t miss being irate at your insane give aways.
March 15th, 2020 at 2:01 pm
I can see it already ,if the Bucs sign Brady…..the RayJay will be filled with fans wearing NE Patriot jerseys rooting for Brady…
March 15th, 2020 at 2:01 pm
@Check your sheet
No way brady makes it to week 8 without injury!!!!!!!! Its the bucs!!!!!!! The ship always sinks while leaving the harbor!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2020 at 2:04 pm
I will have to assume the Bucs know who they want and know if he will be available. They need to just go get their guy and no playing games.
A few have speculated they might let Winston test free agency and then resign him. I think that’s a awful plan. If he’s your guy you don’t let him hit the open market.
My guess is if he hits free agency they don’t want him and never wanted him. Bruce don’t seem like the type to fool around with such a important decision.
March 15th, 2020 at 2:05 pm
El Buco. I firmly believe with the money the Bucs have, we beef up our o line, sign a free agent running back or draft a new one like the Wisconsin rb, and change our offense to dissect defenses the Brady way. Brady knows how to use tight ends, both of ours are awesome, just not properly utilized. Brady is a surgeon at quarterback that rarely makes misreads and hardly ever turns the ball over. This will work and I believe Brady wants the challenge because that is what make him tick. Bring the GOAT to Tampa Bay. GOOOOOOOOOOO BUCS!
March 15th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
Winston will find a cheap backup job somewhere, then end his career as a journeyman backup just like Leftwich did.
Bring in a REAL professional NFL QB as the Bucs haven’t had one in quite some time
March 15th, 2020 at 2:51 pm
I think it’s obvious that they tag Jameis and offer Shaq $18M a year long term. If they tagged Shaq, they would only save $2M a year.
This way they could lock Shaq up until he’s over 30 years old and limit their liability with JW.
Let’s go!
Super Bowl is in Tampa this year.
March 15th, 2020 at 3:09 pm
I think would tag the older JPP and sign Shaq to a 4 year deal. Also sign Winston to a 2 year deal with club option on the second year.
March 15th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
@RustyRhinos…no one in the NFL uses that nick for Winston except the operator of this site. It is irrelevant, and bogus. No worries. He was never Americas QB, never a pro-bowler, and never will be. Let reality win the day!
March 15th, 2020 at 3:19 pm
No, they are not tagging Winston. If they were going to tag Winston, they’d not be so cold to him out there in the media…
They’d look like fools to bring him back now, except in such a case that one other FA QB wants to sign here (not likely) and/or that no other team wants to pay Wisnton what his sick mind thinks he is worth (likely).
March 15th, 2020 at 4:06 pm
check your sheet, im balling….
March 15th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
No problem…Jameis can afford the cost of an uber ride anywhere in the country, wherever he is offered a contract.
March 15th, 2020 at 9:20 pm
Well……….. Bye.
March 15th, 2020 at 10:34 pm
If it’s true yall think it’s a good thing ?? Now what rookie quarterback will want to play in Tampa . This franchise is a joke . Lol lol we finally get a quarterback that can score points and he did with no running game and people think that Brady is coming to this trash franchise ??? Lol if he does it will be for the money not to win . I can’t wait until the season starts it’s going to be funny to watch yall complain about why we losing . I’m going to sit back and laugh at all yall and this fake coach that came to a desperate team and fan base and just took advantage of yall while laughing all the way to the bank lol lol lol he dosen’t care about getting fired lol lol he’s on his last pay checks lol …
March 15th, 2020 at 11:13 pm
Imo Shaq will get tagged and Jameis will sign for top 10 backup money with some scrub team like Chicago. I wouldn’t be at all surprised though if some team were stupid enough to give Jameis close to 30 million per year like Tannehill just got. I just hope that it’s not us.
March 17th, 2020 at 8:36 am
Still a bunch of moron losers in Tampa. Bucs wont win regardless of who the Quarterback is.
