“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
March 17th, 2009The famous Rolling Stones song serving as the title of this post accurately describes the Bucs in the case of trying to land Denver quarterback Jay Cutler.
That’s because, in the words of a pair of co-hosts on Sirius NFL Radio, the Bucs have nothing to offer Denver.
Fielding a call from a Bucs fan in Tampa, Adam Schein and Solomon Wilcots, co-hosts of “The Blitz,” (Justin, you really have to call Roger Goodell about this) didn’t think disgruntled Broncos quarterback and (a few days ago) almost-Bucs quarterback Cutler would ever be traded to Tampa Bay.
When asked if the Bucs were still interested in Cutler, Schein had no reservations.
“Tampa has interest. They should have interest,” Schein said. “But if [Denver] wants picks-plus… are there players that could interest Denver?
“The Jets, the Browns, the Panthers all have players to offer. If you are the Bucs, do you offer Gaines Adams? If you are Denver, you are on the losing end of the deal.”
Wilcots agreed that the Bucs have few if any players to offer Denver for Cutler unless the Broncos want strictly draft picks.
“I’m trying to find out what the Bucs have to offer and I’m still looking,” Wilcots said. “They’re not going to trade Barrett Ruud.”
