A Buccaneers source tells me the team's phone is "ringing off the hook" with teams calling about the possibility of trading up.Now, I know this leak is self-serving. The Buccaneers want the impression out there that a number of teams want the top pick, thus possibly driving up the market value. But I trust this person wholeheartedly and believe it.This is also an indicator of something else. Teams are reverting back to the theory that you draft a player who will help you win, no matter the player's baggage.Maybe nothing ever changed, but we heard so much about how teams would change in the post-Ray Rice world. The league office changed. Teams? Not so much. The interest in Winston from teams—not to mention the Bucs may draft him first—proves that the old NFL is back. If it ever truly left.

I don't know about anyone else, but I still have that sinking feeling that the Bucs could easily fuck this up. No doubt in my mind that they could easily trade out and take themselves out of the running for JW/MM.With Licht intentionally pushing that "trade the pick" shit, don't be surprised if our QB is still Glennon and maybe Hundley, Petty etc. SMFH.
