OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

100 seems low to me

Depends. Is he just standing in front of a Jugs machine and catching them? Then yeah that’s low. But if he’s running routes on all of them that’s quite a lot.

He's a running back. He's not out there running scads of deep routes.

Jimmy is worth whatever someone is willing to give up to get him and the circumstances can change.

I don't value draft picks as much as others do. It's not like you know what you're getting as you would with established players.

BB agrees with you. Hence the 2nd for Sanu

The problem with this is availability and that’s something jimmy g struggles with.

I was gonna make that same comment.

I would imagine it's a mix of jugs and quick outlet passes.

It's a good amount considering what time of the year it is.

To the contrary, the Bucs owner/co-chairman on Wednesday credited Brady with almost single-handedly changing the franchise’s culture.

“You heard stories and watched him from afar for many years,” Glazer told reporters during a Zoom session. “You heard things about him, but you never really realize something until you’re around somebody or with somebody, and everything I heard was absolutely accurate. ... He works harder than anybody I’ve ever seen. His leadership is unbelievable, and his relationship with everybody and just the person he is — the whole package.”

“You hear it, you kind of wonder can someone really change the culture that much? Absolutely,” Glazer said. “Again, people lead by example. And when you see somebody who has been in the league that long, had that much success and is still working as hard as anybody, that rubs off.”

Maybe he can borrow Harry's machine. I heard that it is stupendous.

 

[gobesmug]

That's not nearly enough for RoJo lol. Dude looks so unnatural catching the ball.

 

[amfootball]

Glazer has to be the happiest man on earth that he got Brady. And to think they have a real shot at repeating.

Harry's machine has been programmed to fire passes into the ground.

Harry's machine has been programmed to fire passes into the ground.

So Harry can get ready for Cam's throws?

I don't know what AB is looking for but he is not a guy teams are going to pay big money for anymore.

Report: Bucs, Antonio Brown aren't close on deal

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said this week that the team has made offers to wide receiver Antonio Brown and will "see how it goes" in terms of bringing him back for the 2021 season.

Deshawn Watson says "Jugs machine? I like the sound of that!"

 

[Deus Irae]

General Manager Jason Licht told reporters at a Thursday press conference that the Bucs will exercise their option on defensive tackle Vita Vea‘s contract for a fifth season. Vea was the 12th overall pick in the 2018 draft.


Under current rules, that option will be guaranteed once it is officially exercised. Vea would make $7.638 million next year under the option.

AB has one real payday left and shouldn’t settle. The team has little reason to pay him anything close to top dollar. Brady is the only thing holding this together.

AB has one real payday left and shouldn’t settle. The team has little reason to pay him anything close to top dollar. Brady is the only thing holding this together.

Is anyone surprised that AB is looking for more money? I mean, we talked about Suh, Fournette, and AB as guys who were either historically mercenary (Suh) or caught in low money situations (Fournette, Brown) and would be looking for real pay days. Fournette gave up the quest faster than Brown, is all. Brown's still holding out hope that some other teams will offer him clothing store prices in a year where pretty much every team is only willing to pay yard sale prices for WRs.

 

[VectorPrime]

The Seahawks might take a big gamble and pay AB what he wants to try and keep Russell Wilson from shooting his way out.
