2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offseason Thread

[Central_Buc]

Better start calling up his college buddies

OH NO Mr Bill might be available for Howdy Doody. Maybe Gumby for WR coach.

[mdb1958]

He could always put out a help wanted sign

Don't care, erase his knowledge of our team and give me my comp picks. Plus new coaches might even outwardly voice their differences with Todd.

[Bootz]

It's pretty common to block lateral moves so I don't imagine it's just out of spite. However, I also think it means we plan on running a very similar system with the same offensive coaches.

I do not expect an outside hire for OC.

Harold Goodwin

Joe Gilbert

Uhuh

[mdb1958]

Thing is with Bowles he's been with these coaches forever hammering the railroad spike and they just say yessir boss.

Did we get better after they left.

[mdb1958]

The draft pick lobbyists are starting to shake the tree to cause movement prior to the combine after that the fruit starts flying everywhere.

[mdb1958]

Ever notice after the draft picks settle in with their perspective teams the NFL don't give a crap what prestigious college these boys come from. It all turns into performance or non-performance.

We had no issues letting 2 coaches go to Carolina for lateral positions. This year we didn't let Coen speak with so much as speak to our assistant OL coach.

If you want to believe this wasn't done out of spite, good for you.

My point was last year we were changing systems and this year we are not so it’s extremely beneficial to keep all those coaches.

[BuccaNOLEer]

Good. That scumbag should not be getting help of any kind from the Bucs.

Uh huh.

Like I said, good for you if you think this is just to keep continuity.

I’ve been saying for days it was probably Grizzard. Especially after Thad interviewed with Houston.

If they’re promoting Grizzard it only makes sense to retain the same assistants.

Why would they let them interview elsewhere otherwise?

I personally think if someone truly wants to leave you’d let them go. These were blocked requests. We don’t know that these guys actually wanted to leave.

It’s no problem letting Canales take his guys because they were completely overhauling the offense.

Very different situations.

[Grahamburn]

And “just to keep continuity,” no. Not necessarily. I’m sure there’s a little bit of middle finger bonus in there too. Not saying there isn’t.

If they’d hired an established OC like Doug Pederson or Bobby Slowik though and they wanted to bring in their own guys you let those coaches go just like they did with Canales.

That’s all I’m saying.

Ok.

[Central_Buc]

Pewter Report agrees with you @Grahamburn .

Imagine this: 2pm Grizzard dissappears to New Orleans, Bucs can't find him

Aw hell no. Don't you put that evil in the world.

In order for New Orleans to sign Grizzard it would have to be a promotion. That means NO or any other team would have to sign him as the HC.

Saints are the only team without a HC. If I was a Saint I would be a troll if you know what I mean.

[Phantom]

It’s Kellen Moore. He’s real deal.

[Bootz]

It’s Kellen Moore. He’s real deal.

Yep and they can't do anything until after the Superbowl.

[mdb1958]

What do coach and OC comp picks usually get, have they ever did a 7th for a coach.

I really hadn’t given it much thought. Until I got that email this morning.

Wow,

Outsider, stuff like this is a reminder that time doesn’t stop for anyone. Amazing.

Wow,

I love that Ronde Barber seemingly has an unofficial team position. Spokesperson, analyst, by rumor a "kitchen cabinet" member on Licht's staff. The man seems to live and breathe Bucs' football, a Hall of Famer who retains ties to the team and community.

And I think that's beautiful.

[0-26 Survivor]

I can only speak for the players from way back when, but I can honestly say that I believe that Coach Tony instilled a love of Community among his players. There were a lot of them that were involved in the goings on of the Tampa community while they lived and played here. Batman, the Selmons, Alstott, Lynch, Warrick, and so on.

Chartric Darby is around as well.

Couldn't agree more.

Did he get a front office ring of any kind for 2020? I know Shelton obviously did.

[__Chef__]

...Coach Tony instilled a love of Community...

Read his book, this is accurate.

[Bootz]

We are officially one of those teams that mismanaged the salary cap aka we're over the $275mil cap limit.

We were able to roll over about $6.6mil so our adjust cap limit is $281.6mil. But our current cap allocations are $285.1mil. Meaning we are $3.5mil over that cap.

The Bucs could save some cap space if they are able to re-sign Chris Godwin before February 20. That is the date his current contract voids and his 2026 and 2027 void money accelerates into the 2025 cap.

0% chance that happens of course. But Licht will have some work to do.

No money to bring in new players ... how are we going to improve, Bootz?

We need like a battle plan thread. Of what we could realistically do to build a contender for 2025. On it..
