Collins to Bucs

[MHS831]

Considering his body of work, that is a bit rich.  I think Gettlemen HAS to land Nicks right now.

 

Ginn has visited TB--wonder how that went.

[jarhead]

We lose out again.... what the hell...no one wants to come here now or what?

 

 

That would not surprise me but I think it comes down to the money we are offering. It is usually all about the money

[MadHatter]

Yes, and there are no state taxes in Fla

That is worth $500k per year on that $6M per year contract base.

 

Real money

[MrBubba]

Different day, same crap, this week has sucked

[hepcat]

Honestly this is a bigger loss than missing out on Hakeem Nicks.  A solid vet LT is way more important.  Healthy Cam is more important than ANY WR.

Don't worry we will sign TONs of undrafted rookies.

[BelgianPantherFan]

We offered similar money, seems like some moves (besides #89) are pending in the near future...

[Galvatron]

Yeah the money was similar; some are reporting he got the hard sell from previously signed FA's

Don't really see any good LT out there. Gonna have to get one in the draft.

[DecrypticShadow]

Don't worry guys.... At least we tendered this guy:

Allow me to ramble about the Bucs for a minute.  It is therapeutic,.

 

Is it just me, or does it seem like Tampa Bay makes a huge splash in free agency every year?

 

I think Lovie Smith is a great person (from what I hear and see on TV) but I am not sure that he is that great of a coach.  He was fired after a 10-win season.  Who does that? 

 

He had a pretty awesome defense and a good RB and QB.  A suspect line and below average WRs.  He coached in the NFC North when Green Bay and Minnesota were playoff teams.  Rivera won with the same formula and was coach of the year.  Lovie was un-Lovie to the Chicago fans and front office, apparently.  He wins 10 games and is fired and is not hired by any team last year--Chud found work!!  Somebody knows something.

 

This could be another bad hire.  How smart was it to announce that McCown is your starter when Glennon showed promise?  Is this a smart man? 

[Lemory]

I keep saying it. Every year they throw money at big name free agents and every year they poo the bed.

[Snake]

Counting on a rookie at left tackle, regardless of potential or hype, is suicidal.

Gross was a rookie once.
