So it was a low bar yet they failed on both. With all their injuries, the Bucs sure could have used a rookie stepping up. And special teams was bad in 2020 and still below average in 2021.I think that given they signed back all starting 22, they focused on depth & ST.
DE Tryon (ST/ back-up on 53)
QB Trask (rookie QB on 53)
OL Hainsey (depth on 53)
WR Darden (ST starter)
LB KJ Britt (ST starter)
CB Chris Wilcox (released)
LB Stuard (ST starter)
Hainsey had limited snaps in 4 games during regular season. His grades weren't bad.Yeah, that's what made it worse as they only drafted for depth and ST. So it was a low bar yet they failed on both.

Tryon was ok the 1st half of the season as a depth piece but he disappeared when he became the starter.
Trask was redundant with Gabbert as the backup and they really could have used a corner or a WR at this spot.
I don't remember if it was Hainsey who took over the right tackle spot for Wirfs in the playoffs, but whoever it was, he was bad.
Well the team retained every starter on offense and defense, so backup development and ST really was all that was needed.Yeah, that's what made it worse as they only drafted for depth and ST.

Edited to remove misinformed information lol.So the reason for Brady's retirement is now out. I have always said that Tom F. Brady was a POS.
Are you referring to Florio's rumors?
That garbage report is easily refuted by logic alone.
Florio said Brady was going to be announced as a minority owner, then the Dolphins were going to claim his rights and he was going to be the QB.
The problem with that, is the NFL rules prohibit a player being an owner and vice versa.
So what Florio is spewing as facts, is in fact impossible.
If Gronk retires, TE is looking really really weak.
End AugustHe’s not retiring while Brady plays. He just doesn’t want to show up untilJuly.
I hope the Bucs aren't trying to lowball him. I can't seem him playing for anything less than the 8 mil he made last year. I think he got an additional 1 or 2 mil bonus.He’s not retiring while Brady plays. He just doesn’t want to show up until July.
You know, I can't find anything on it. I had researched it a couple years ago and found something about the NFL constitution not allowing it.To my knowledge there is no rule that prohibits an NFL player from being a minority owner of the team he plays for...it would be unprecedented in this league and there are probably a few barriers that would have to be overcome. Not sure though.
They sort of have to with Howard gone. I can see them going TE in round 3. What round is McBride expected to go?I can see the Bucs drafting a TE but not a strong class. Maybe McBride.
Since the draft is coming up. Looking back at the Bucs 2021 draft, it was a terrible draft for that season. And they may not be much better for 2022.
Round 1- Tryon was stuck behind an injured JPP for most of the season. Then when given more playing time, he hit a rookie wall and was outplayed by Nelson.
Round 2- Trask. High pick for someone who couldn't win the backup job. Gabbert being resigned means it was a wasted pick.
Round 3- Hainsey. Wasn't useful last year. Supposedly he was to replace Jensen but he was resigned. If he can't win a starting job, then another waisted pick.
Round 4- Darden. Was worse than the guy he replaced in Mickens. He should be cut. Miller can take his special team spot.
Later rounds - irrelevant.
Bucs had injury issues on offensive line, running back, WR, Edge, and CB. The rookies did not improve any of those positions.

Late 2/3They sort of have to with Howard gone. I can see them going TE in round 3. What round is McBride expected to go?
