3 I saw I’d kick the tires on:
frank gore jr(rb) released from buffalo today.
trade: 2025 7th rounder for ravens OG Ben Cleveland.
would also like Hasson reddick. Pass rush and LG our two needs imho. Hasson has been discussed would be tough to trade for as well as extend him, but not impossible. Falcons traded for judon without an extension in place & he hasn’t held out(yet!)
thoughts?
I think Licht said something like they were always looking but seemed unlikely. Maybe just depth moves.
They might be looking for a swing OT because the team likes Walton but he is more of an inside player and they cut Delgado.
Licht is hesitant to go outside after cutdown day. He did pick up the one OG and replaced Wolford with Pratt on the practice squad, but overall not only are 44 of the 53 home grown, but the practice squad is full of Buccaneers as well. I get it that he wants to build from within, but he's taking that to a new level in the last couple years. Licht and Bowles have a lot of faith in the Bucs drafting process. They are doubling down on that by not swapping out. That lends credence to the theory that they are still pointing toward 2025 when talking about building the roster.I think Licht said something like they were always looking but seemed unlikely.

Rumors about Shaq Barrett coming back.
guess he said Tampa would be the only place & more or less for whatever price they want. Was discussed on the latest PR podcast. Guess he had an interview on the kay Adams show.

Hope that’s not the case.
The remaining options at edge all came with various issues that didn’t really result in obvious upgrades.
Either we have studs that they can’t wait to reveal on the field during real games…or we’re rolling with what we have & planning that we’ll be good/not great.
That is what leads me to think that they are planning on 2025 as the breakout season.
As many have said, that means to “win now” in 2024 - they will be leaning on the offensive improvements a little more heavily.
We’ll know more in a few days!
