Bucs looking at Incognito, traded for Mankins

[Growl]

I really wish we'd make a similar caliber move at OT. Or SS, even.

[Ruff]

I would hate trading the first four picks of the draft, especially for a 32 year old.

?

[Mr. Scot]

PFT reporting the Bucs inquired about Alex Boone before trading for Mankins.

Everyone keeps saying "just a 4th rounder" and are ignoring TE Tim Wright being in the deal. This could say something about the health of Gronk or just the fact that they want to go back to a solid 2 TE set. I can see him being a big part of their offense this year. 

 

Wright is a big, athletic TE who fits the Patriots perfectly and scoring 5 TD's and almost 600 yds in his rookie season is nothing to ignore. Plus it frees up $5.8m in cap space for them.

Valid.  That's part of the deal too.

 

Lovie Smith was recently quoted as saying that Wright "hasn't played as well as he should be playing" so I guess they're not that worried about parting with him.

Do you need to look at our list of 4th rounders again?

 

Tre Boston

Edmund Kugbilla

Joe Adams

Brandon Hogan

Eric Norwood

 

I'd take a 32 year old all pro for all of our 4th rounders.

How have Amini looked so far?

And, I'm not sure many are wanting an OG. We want a LT and wondering why Gman can't make a similar move.

Amini wasn't a late round pick

I don't want the Bucs getting better. Even slightly better.

I approach the offseason with the acceptance that other teams will get better.

 

Our job is just to make our 'better' better than their 'better'.

Agreed.   Their guard situation though ,  could be argued ,  as being worse than our tackle situation.    If they lined up a 300lb bag of wet sand out there between their LT and Center,  it would have made them better at the position than they were.

Money.  They have cap space this year and next.  We don't.

Not feeling this opener. I didn't drink the mccown kool aid but if they can just hammer the ball up the middle and then work play action off that we're done.

You're more worried about the defense than the offense?

 

(that's kinda unusual these days)
