I haven't verified this stat myself, but it sounds about right...

Bucs are only NFL team not to have a free agent sign elsewhere this month. Falcons, Panthers, 49ers are only teams to lose just 1. Rest 2+.

I'm actually a bit surprised that neither Amini Silatolu nor Kyle Love have been signed.  They're both quite decent players.... (though of course Amini's injury history is a problem...)

At the rate we're going, we won't be getting any comp picks next year either, but I can live with that.

I think they'll catch on somewhere eventually, same with Cotchery and Harper if they continue to play. But yeah, right now we're in the hole, losing 1 (Nortman) and gaining 2 that will count against us  (Gradkowski, Boykin).

Even when Amini was healthy, he was an enigma.  Sometimes he would look great and then really bad.  Inconsistency in both health and his play. 

From my perspective, Love is at an age where we may be better off drafting a DT because he still may have a handful of years left in the tank and want a decent contract...and DT is stacked this draft.

Agree with your assessment of both Silatolu & Love.  I wasn't too clear in what I wrote.  What I was trying to say is that I was a bit surprised they were not signed by OTHER teams.   I'd be open to us re-signing both for cheap depth if needed, depending on how the draft shakes out, but with Soliai, Love isn't so needed now.  (We still need a  3 tech).  And with Remmers, Scott and Gradkowski all able to back up multiple positions on the Oline, we're probably not hurting too much for Oline depth either.

I think Bullard would be an awesome choice in the draft bc he can slide inside to 3 tech but can slide to the outside a decent amount.  Willie Young is another.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
