Why have we not shown any interest?  I know we don't have money but we can make it work if we need to.  Signing him before the draft would let us draft BPA instead of drafting for needs.

We were actually competing for a superbowl last year and they decided to let JPP walk and thought roll with JTR and Nelson as #2,3 edge rushers 

 

in a year where we don’t necessarily care if we win or not, can’t see them signing an edge rusher 

 

agree with you, competitively it makes complete sense but from a business perspective, I don’t expect them to pursue

Sure he is 28 but need to have players that can be long term ones.

I believe they were anticipating Cam Gill having a big year. I know I was.

@badabingbucs Licht should care about putting together a competetive team for 2023.  His only winning seasons were with 43 and 44 year old Tom Brady.  He has to prove that he can do it without him.  I like what he has done so far this offseason with what he has, but when there are young productive players still available we must try to get them signed.  When they are young we can sign them on multi year deals and Ngakoue would be worth a back loaded contract.

This is a great point. I also like the idea especially with Barrett coming back from the ACL tear.

I have read that Yanick is a diva tho

I believe that may be the reason he is still available.

Can’t see the Bucs signing him. I think the reason he isn’t signed is because he is a huge liability in the run game. Last couple years his pass rush numbers haven’t warranted the price tag.

At this point the Bucs need to further develop what they have on the roster by giving snaps to the younger players. JTS(24), Gill(25), Diaby(23), Ramirez(23) and Nelson(26) are the future.  Shaq(30) can hold the fort as the vet leader of the group.
