Chances that Hanyesworth will be in division

I really believe with all this money the Bucs just saved and the fact that the cap went up again. The Bucs will be able to make a huge offer to Haynesworth that no player would turn down even to stay with a winning team. I hate this cause Albert is a great DT and will make running the ball no easy thing two times a year.

Who have the Bucs ever paid huge bucks for? Haynesworth isn't worth 12-15 million per year. From 2002 until 2007 he didn't have more than 3 sacks in a season.

I hope Tampa pays a ton for him. I doubt it though. The way you get 40 million under the cap is not spending wildly on one player.

I say if anyone does it's Tampa. but the sirius guys bring up a good point. Tampa is about 50 mill under the cap now. If they don't go spend about half of it (Hanesworth, TJ Whosyomomma, etal) then they aren't planning on keeping their new HC. They are waiting till next year to get Shanahan or someone and have a ton of money available.

I am not sure that the Glazers spending money is related to how committed they are to their head coach. Maybe the reason they actually picked Morris is because he will work within the amount they will spend and not demand all of this high priced free agents as Shanahan would.

I guess we will see how active they are. From what I understand teams have to spend a certain amount of their cap or they are in violation of the CBA.

They have also made it clear they are rebuilding which usualy means through the draft and not through high priced free agents. But what do I know??

Why not just front load everyone's contract this season? Anyone they pick up in FA or the Draft should just be given a ridiculous front end contract that fizzles towards the end. That way, if they played it smart, they'd have incredible potential for a SB win in the next few years.

That would be one way to go. You could also extend current players and lock your stars in long term.

One problem with front loading draft picks and FAs is that if they don't produce or get injured you have paid a ton of money and wasted it. It is always easier to see how they turn out in your system and them pay them rather than the other way around. It is clear they are going to a youth movement and doing some rebuilding. I am sure they will be active in free agency. What everyone is waiting to see if they are going to sign some big name expensive free agents like Haynesworth or even make a run at a guy like Peppers or whether they wil go for role players and build mostly through the draft.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
