Luck and a lack of greed set up Bucs GM Jason Licht
Brandon Beane was talking this afternoon on the channel in Joe’s ear 18 hours a day: SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Joe got to the heart of the matter with Dirk Koetter today on disappointing third-year cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. (more…)
