Wake up people. He is 31. Unless they are under 25 we aren't going to pick them up. Why get an experienced veteran when we can get someone fresh out of school who is barely shaving for cheap. Who cares if they haven't done anything yet. Only those guys who are a bargain and cheap will be picked up.

But that sounds stubborn. So are we already the 09 Bucs?

Pretty much, this season is a wash. It's all about cutting cost and contracts.

JR is one of the head owners leading the be smart about your money and don't spend it in the uncapped year, shed payroll and set your business up for success later if the league comes back in 2011.

While this may be true, PSL owners and folks who purchase tickets won't see any impact in their wallet; just a marginal at-best product on the field. Fans get screwed in all this.

I don't see how we won't sign a few guys. This whole thing about people needing to be 25 is stupid, it's just a statement people have said over and over again until it becomes fact.

JR is making some tough buisness decisions but we still need 55 guys on the team.

Never said we wouldn't, but they really needed to get a legit second receiver and have failed at it unless they make a trade. I don't see them getting a legit number 2 for this season in the 2nd round of the draft. Jarret isn't that guy either imo.

The players they pick up in FA however will make less then Brayton was. They wanted him to take a paycut to stay with the team..Brayton wanted to be here, so I don't see him asking for that much money....

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
