Does the team trust Trask? Or do we bring in a vet?

Torralbae1 · 01-29-2022, 03:11 PM

Do they resign Godwin? I knew after last off season eventually dark times were ahead. Thought there was at least 1 more season if not more with Brady.

MC80_LCM · 01-29-2022, 03:23 PM

I feel like it will be a rough off-season. I know Bruce says he has confidence in Gabbert and Trask but I feel like you'd be hard pressed to find many others that truly feel that way. Unfortunately they do not have a ton of cap space so I think they will be hard pressed to bring in anyone of significance. I do think they make every effort to bring Godwin back. They also have guys like Jensen, Cappa, Davis and Whitehead that I'd love to get back.

Id be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous.

They will definitely bring Godwin back. He’s priority A. With the injury I think it’s decently likely he at least does a 1 year deal

If a lot of pieces leave, at least they left with a SB. I’m at peace if we have a big overhaul

A franchise tag?

Whodatiz · 01-29-2022, 03:32 PM

You guys can have Matt Ryan if you want.

Now what?

Mediocrity. Embrace it.

RedSoxFan28 · 01-29-2022, 03:35 PM

Think the Bucs can restructure current contracts and resign enough players to have a decent team next year, but their schedule is brutal. Wouldn't be surprised if they only won 5~ games next season.

Jericho · 01-29-2022, 03:41 PM

Gronk will definitely be gone if Brady is retired

I think it all depends on who they get as a QB obviously. The division is still pretty weak though. That should be 4-5 wins right there. Even if they only bring back a couple of their main FAs they still have an above average roster.

I doubt they Franchise Godwin again. I feel like that would give them very little cap flexibility.

The only way Godwin is tagged again is if Brady isn’t done.

Even with the injury, his resume means he will get a multi-year deal somewhere. If TB12 stayed, a 1 year deal could have been in play. Not anymore.

He's making 16m on the 2021 tag. It would be 120% of that for 2022, so 19m. I just can't see dedicating that much cap to a player you won't get a full season from (probably)

A top priority is to lock up Jensen to pair up with whomever the QB will be.

Leftwich as a player/coach?

RedSoxFan28 · 01-31-2022, 08:15 PM

Brady can't retire before playing a game in these

majestik101 · 02-04-2022, 12:47 AM

Jags hire Doug Pederson as their HC.

This means that it's very likely Byron Leftwich remains as the Bucs OC, which is not a bad thing.

majestik101 · 02-04-2022, 06:23 PM

No. Just no.

Let me start by saying I don't think there is any chance this happens. I don't think either side wants to try it again.

Thanks being said I'm totally on board. I'd change my mind the second he throws in INT but for now, sign me up. The Bucs cap guys are infinitely smarter than I am but I struggle to see how they manage to bring in someone in the upper tier. So if they don't feel like Trask is ready, where does that leave us? Bridgewater, Trubisky, resign Gabbert? All of those sound terrible to me. At least Winston knows the offense already.

Eckstein197 · 02-04-2022, 07:54 PM

Last guy I want is Deshaun Watson. Don’t believe we are in on him, but in general situation is toxic. And who knows what’s gonna happen legally

How many INTs would you tolerate? 12, 15, 17?
