Still a good player, but if a team goes overboard with a contract, it will be a gamble nonetheless.

What type of numbers would you envision for a player of McCoy's caliber and experience level?  I don't really have any insight into the Browns' cap situation, but obviously they didn't throw him the pen and checkbook, otherwise he would be a Brown today.  Seeing how the Buc's decided not to cover his $13M this season, my gut would say to start the negotiations at half that amount and work in a signing bonus bonus and some performance escalators to top out South of $9M.

We will see, but i have to agree.


Yeah, i am good either way, would rather have him here but if it costs us Boyd or AJ i don't like it at all.

I agree with that sentiment, completely.  Also, seeing how they didn't take any WRs in the draft, they must plan on retaining them.

Great luxury pickup, if at the right price AND he can check his ego a bit.

Geno is our guy here. If we show more 3-4 looks, McCoy would be a nice fit as an end.

He could also obviously be in on passing downs as DT.

Doesn't have the tools for RDE, but could spell Dunlap on rotation.

His abilities would certainly open up some interesting possibilities for the defense.

This article gives a lot of good perspective and insight into McCoy, and how he became expendable to Tampa.


This quote is from toward the end of the article, I suggest reading it in it's entirety.  (about a 2-3 minute read)

Quote:Stats don’t tell the whole story. They never have. What they offer is just one lens to view a multi-layered picture through.
The value of a player extends beyond the field of play. Which is why it was news when the team didn’t vote McCoy in as a captain for the 2018 season.

Prior to this season, McCoy had been a captain on the team for six straight years. Every year since 2012.
McCoy played it off. He had to. But if you don’t believe it wounded his ego just a bit, I doubt you’ve ever been in a locker room.

In January of 2018, McCoy was a Pro Bowler and a Pro Bowl captain at that. One year later, he’s not a Pro Bowler, not a captain on any team, and is on the lips of just about every Bucs fan, media member or casual observer wondering if and how the team might open up some more cap space for 2019.
