Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

Yeah I’m just looking at it from Brady’s point of view. He won.

He usually does.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I got to thinking this morning about Godwin, Brown, Wirfs. If even one of these guys are there at the end, the Bucs repeat. Brutal luck.

It's not like the Rams beat the Bucs or anything during the regular season with those same guys playing...and it's not like Robert Woods was missing in the playoffs or anything

BA steps down…my 2 cents

 

[Deus Irae]

hanks for the last 2 great years Coach, hopefully they let you keep riding around in your cart always keeping it real

 

[Deus Irae]

Say it louder for the people in the back. There will be some changes on offense under Todd Bowles that Tom Brady will embrace. A commitment to run the football more is one. But those close to Brady and Arians say the #Bucs QB did not push for this. It’s BA’s decision.

 

[amfootball]

I really find this hard to believe. There is no way Brady comes back without knowing Arians was stepping down and Bowles was replacing him. I am not saying Brady pushed for this but he does not come back if he had issues with either one.

Everyone is coming back it seems ...

You're making the assumption that Brady wanted Arians gone in the first place.

They now need to draft someone in the 3rd or so and they’ll be good.

NFL announces key offseason dates for Bucs: first day back for players is April 11, OTAs set for May 17-19, May 24-26, May 31-June 3; mandatory minicamp June 7-9.

Gio Bernard goes back to the Bucs on a veteran salary benefit deal -- $1.12 million base salary, $152,500 bonus. Got his first career playoff victory last year with Tampa, can chase a ring with Brady this fall.

I wouldn't say Bernard's re-signing rules out the Bucs drafting a running back. They carried four last year, and just have three set with Fournette, Vaughn and Bernard. With what they're paying Fournette, they'll be using him as a primary back though, much like last year.

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs have now re-signed 10 free agents from this class: Godwin, Davis, Jensen, Fournette, Gholston, Stinnie, Wells, Perriman, Triner and Bernard. Only four have signed elsewhere: Cappa, Whitehead, Howard and Jones.

Technically still 11 unsigned free agents for Bucs: TE Rob Gronkowski DL Ndamukong Suh OLB Jason Pierre-Paul QB Blaine Gabbert LB Kevin Minter DL Steve McLendon DL Pat O'Connor CB Pierre Desir CB Richard Sherman S Andrew Adams S Curtis Riley

 

[VectorPrime]

Wonder who the Bucs want in the first round.

Wonder who the Bucs want in the first round.

I think they go DL or WR

Wonder who the Bucs want in the first round.

Just looking at the current roster, and what changes will show first moving forward (and not factoring in what's supposed to be first round available in the draft), I'd be looking at, in no particular order,

DT
LB
TE

as my first choices.

there no TE worth that pick and picking a LB in the first eith white/Davis ain’t the way to go. They need to go Corner or the hybrid safety Hill from Michigan they need secondary depth and help with SMB struggling if they can sure up the secondary and Davis/Dean stay healthy they should have a top 5-8 defense

 

[venecol]

I think they go DL or WR

DT & G
TE & LB
RB & DB

"I think the narrative that there was an ultimatum from Brady is really overblown" @gregauman on if Brady had a role in Bruce Arians stepping down as the Bucs HC
