I'm disappointed with the Bucs...they got loads of money, and I don't think they have spent much of it.

 

[.infamous]

They've spent a bit on extending and resigning their players.

Most teams don't build through Free Agency.

You never look at Free Agency to get players long term.

Its always stop gap.

 

[Pugz]

Building through free agency in any sport isn't the best idea.

 

[DJT]

You guys do realize they have to build through FAcy kinda right?

With this CBA they have a minimum cap...Tampa is below it.

At the very least, the Bucs should have re-signed Ruud. They don't really have anything behind their defensive line if Talib stays in legal trouble.

No you don't.

Just resign all your players that are near expiring.. which is what they're doing.

Why would they resign Ruud? He was horrible last year and they drafted Foster to replace him.

Brandon Marshall has been diagnosed with "borderline personality disorder."
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the disorder is "marked by difficulties with relationships and self-image and controlling moods and emotions." Marshall went through three months of treatment and therapy for the disorder this offseason. Hopefully this marks the beginning of the end of the constant drama that has surrounded Marshall off-the-field since he came into the league in 2006.

lol wtf

Ruud had his first bad year in what has been a pretty good career as a Buc... I'd think that he can still be more productive than a third round rookie - and Foster can play OLB anyway.

Well obviously the Bucs felt differently.

 

[Pugz]

lol wtf

If that's true then his career will be cut short.

 

[DJT]

Maybe, maybe not. It also could have no affect on his play on the field...

Maybe the gridiron is his sanctuary.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

We need another LB now that Muckelroy already is out for the season with a Ruptured Achilles Tendon......

 

[RipCity32]

What'd I miss?

 

[Lake Louise]

lol wtf

That diagnosis sounds weird "borderline personality disorder" it's like "well, you might have this, but we're not 100% sure on that."

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Not a ton of moves today, really. There was a few good moves though.
