Yep he's their number 4 WR. 

If Tampa wanted him they could've easily have retained him instead they went out and actually upgraded by getting DJax. While we take a teams 4th WR and make him our 3rd or even possibly our 2nd

I'm worried the front office got complacent with this signing. I don't understand why they haven't gone after Kendall Wright.

The fact that this signing is coming on day 1 tells me this was "their guy" and that's scary. 

So they allow Ginn to go and target Sheppard... I mean I'm not a huge Ginn fan but c'mon

Can't afford it. Lol

 

They have about 18m in space, 7.5m of that is for Rookies. They'll want to keep 2-3m of it open for the season in case of injuries. Leaving about 8m in space and the team wanting to sign another DE, a SS or nickel and a WR.

Zod needs a tampon section for post like this.

Just a ST guy. Plenty of WR's left out there and a good group of WR's in the draft.

Don't understand why people are saying he is replacing Ginn necessarily, I would say that it could be a mixture of both Ginn and Brown but only occupies one roster spot. I say he has more upside than Brown and he can take over Ginn's pedestrian effort at PR

You can always tell a lot about ones intelligence by the way he insults someone. 

This is teetering somewhere between grade 6-8, so if you're under 12 years old good job!

Greg Aumon the Buccaneers beat writer just retweeted this #Bucs WR and special teams captain Russell Shepard will be signing with the #Panthers. Great guy. Gets his chance for more time as a WR.

I highly doubt Wright will cost a lot.  And we can always backload his contract.

 

the SS free agent class is dead and  gone

And Buccs fans are not happy about it [emoji847]

"Shepard was pressed into action far more as a receiver last season than previous seasons due to injuries suffered by Vincent Jackson, Louis Murphy, Cecil Shortsand Adam Humphries. Shepard caught 23 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns in 2016. He also had a key fumble recovery in the Bucs' Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers, knocking the ball loose from punt returner Ted Ginn Jr."

Gettleman is cold-blooded...

 

Can't remember him... But I remember that fumble.
