When it comes to productive Buc drafts, you can’t beat the 1995 haul that welcomed future Hall of Famers Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks to Tampa.
The 1976 class was led by another Hall of Famer, Lee Roy Selmon, and Jason Licht hit it big in 2018 by selecting Vita Vea, Ronald Jones, Carlton Davis, Alex Cappa and Jordan Whitehead.

Jason Licht’s job description doesn’t include the phrase “tightrope walker,” but maybe it should.
In his ninth year as GM of the Bucs, Licht is treading a fine line at the moment, facing a challenging balancing act that requires both short-term focus and proper foresight. (more…)

Only Bruce Arians would even try to pull this off.
Who else could stand in front of a podium at One Buc Place and make a compelling case for walking away from a team now favored to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl?
Skeptics remain, dangling the Tom Brady as instigator theory, but you don’t have to be naive to trust the collective narrative advanced by Arians, Joel Glazer and Jason Licht. (more…)

Three of Tampa Bay’s remaining unrestricted free agents have been greeted with the sounds of silence.
It’s understandable that there hasn’t been much chatter about Rob Gronkowski since Tom Brady announced he’s returning to One Buc Place. If Gronkowski plays anywhere this fall, it figures to be with Tampa Bay. (more…)
