"I'm being dramatic". The two signings were great but expected more moves by now and while there's still plenty of players, still feels like everything is starting to dry up.

I'll be dramatic after the draft if our roster has too many holes haha.

The tackle market is kinda rough. Long injury history and therefore a lot of risk. I'm curious to find out what we end up doing. Definitely need an upgrade at RT before the draft to set up BPA.

At this point I think they will resign Spain. I'm wondering if they are hanging onto Hopkins or if they will cut him to save cap. It doesn't hurt to have 2 guys that can start at center in Hopkins and Karras. But will Hopkins improve after another offseason to heal the knee?

Im also curious to see what they do at corner with Waynes. They need to sign someone there, or else hope Waynes finally plays a healthy season (wishful thinking at this point). I'm surprised he hasn't been cut yet. But maybe they want to sign a replacement first.

Lots of work to do to set up a BPA first round pick in my opinion. Need to sign a RT, possibly a G/C, get some help in the secondary, a TE. More players to re-sign as well.

Yep seen them live several times 30 years ago before he ate all the Krispy Kreme donuts in the world. 

Caught the first time they ever played Civil War live at Farm Aid in the Hoosier dome as well that featured a line up way better than Woodstock.

Yes, it is. Now go YouTube the video for Patience.

Do you guys think maybe one of our young RTs playing beside Cappa, might step up? My thinking is, with Cappa the communications might be a lot better.

Smith has the best chance IMO.

RT market is about to be dry AF so id guess a 3rd at least.

[Shake n Blake]

Man, things have really cooled after a hot start. Plenty of time left, but tbh if you don't stay on it, options dry up really fast, then you're left hoping for scraps or relying on the draft to fix it.

Obviously going into the draft with a dire need, and hoping a rookie can step up big, isn't the most ideal scenario. Not to mention you're at the mercy of who everyone else picks.

Options are there now. We need to do something.

1st week of FA has always been for the most sought after guys.


FA drying up now is expected. We are good. 



Our positions of need are TE, RT, and LG. We have plenty time, and some guys are likely trying to wait out the market because they think it gets them more money. I think alot of lineman are gonna be screwed if they wait too long because all they heard for months is how bad Cincy needs lineman. And how bad this and that team needs lineman. We signed 2 guys QUICK and our ugency naturally decreased. Other teams signed lineman. Brady unretired so now Jensen was a sweepstakes. Alot of the lineman are gonna f*** themselves because they overwaited for a contract and id say within next week, most teams are gonna be ok on the line and anyone left over will be f*****.


Expect alot of lienman signings next week. Alot of teams/players were waiting to see what we, the Bucs, and a couple other teams were going to do 1st.
