Constantly churning that roster to get the best talented players on the active roster. Next…
Any word on Justin Evans?? He sure showed lots of promise and I feel he would be great in our system.

Arians said he was a very good blocking TE. He can catch too and play special teams. Good news,
Go Bucs!
Auclair robably replaces OT Haeg as that extra lineman on some downs. Gives the Bucs that extra option of either blocking or leaking out for a pass.
Auclair has been a very good blocker and learning to catch the ball. He was originally projected to be drafted by the Bucs in the 5th round of the 2017 draft, but OJ Howard fell to them in the draft. Auclair was still sought after by the Bucs as an UDFA.
Probably put Molchon on the practice squad.
OG John Molchon was also on Injured Reserve, activated and then released. There is an open spot on the Practice Squad so he may end up there.

Good to hear. He’s a solid pass blocker and another safety net for Brady. I wonder if OJ Howard might be in play for a trade since we’re not going to pay him that kind of money he expects he will get? I wonder if Stefan Gilmore might be a trade target?
I am new to this board. But I am wondering why no one is calling for some help on left offensive tackle. I think his name is Donovan, #76? He constantly need double team help leaving the rest of the line short handed.
Hmmm,, I wonder if this mean Gronk is not 100% and deteriorated since last week.
thanks for sharing the information, it was helpful to me. word finder
