Three things are a must in life: God, family, and football! Also, former Bucs Report beat writer (when it was cool). Now I analyze Bucs football for kicks.
Comp update: Kirk Cousins will sign a five-year, $172 million deal with the Raiders that in reality is a one-year, fully-guaranteed $20 million deal that also contains a club option for two years at $80M.
The Falcons will pay Cousins $8.7 million this season, the Raiders another $1.3 million and Las Vegas also agreed to pay its new QB a fully-guaranteed $10 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2027 new league year.
And maybe most notably, it also sets another new mark: this will be the 11th straight NFL season in which Cousins’ contract will be fully guaranteed.
To see Evans take a deal for $14 million a year from the 49ers - 60 cents on the dollar from his last Bucs contract, before incentives - makes me think he wanted out and Tampa Bay wasn't going to be able to re-sign him. They could match or exceed that without any heavy lifting.
Staying in the NFC South: Buccaneers are finalizing a deal to hire Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson as their offensive coordinator, per sources.
Todd Bowles has been the Defensive Coordinator in Tampa for 7 season
SEVEN
And EVERY WEEK we have guys not knowing or doing their jobs
It’s inexcusable…..
The offensive game plan and play-calling was amateur at best, with every weapon available.
The defensive game plan and play-calling was ugly and backwards.
The players didn't execute on top of that.
The excuses have run out for EVERYBODY.
Todd and staff will be fired.
SHOULD THE TAMPA BAY #BUCCANEERS FIRE HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES TONIGHT…?
Tampa Bay is 7-7 and no longer controls its playoff destiny.
Bowles has one career playoff win as a head coach and continues to be one of the worst clock management coaches in #NFL history.
@Geraldini93@gregauman Gmac. When players ain’t doing what they should, isn’t it on the coach to hold them accountable. Force change. You were a really good player on bad teams. So you should know this right? What bad leadership looks like?
