TAMPA, Fla. -- Because of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, there are a lot of bridges in this area. A new one opened Thursday. This one doesn't span water. Instead, it covers the history of an NFL franchise. That's the picture I got as Ronde B...

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss reached out to me this morning for a post he was doing on former Tampa Bay and current New England running back LeGarrette Blount. You can read the full product here. But the last question Reiss asked me brought up a point...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano said today that the Patriots and Buccaneers could hold joint practices for the second year in a row, this time in Foxborough. "We're going to probably practice together again this training camp," ...

Bill Belichick has grown close to Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano, who coached Belichick's son Steve (now a Patriots assistant coach) while he was a member of the Rutgers football program. Belichick took the Patriots down to Tampa Bay days in adva...

TAMPA, Fla. -- When it comes right down to it, not all that much has changed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason. Sure, they made the blockbuster trade for cornerback Darrelle Revis, signed free-agent safety Dashon Goldson to a big contra...

Precisely one year ago today, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made one of the nicest gestures in NFL history. They signed Eric LeGrand as an undrafted free agent, even though there was no chance LeGrand would play in the NFL. The move was more about loya...

The NFC South might be the only division in the NFL with four franchise quarterbacks, assuming Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman can be just a little more consistent. When Freeman is on his game, he joins Atlanta's Matt Ryan, New Orleans' Drew Brees and Ca...

TAMPA, Fla. -- When your pass defense (almost all by itself) sinks an entire season, there's only one thing to do. You go overboard to fix it. That's the approach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed Friday night as they drafted Mississippi State cor...

The NFC South second-round picks just wrapped up. I'll do a quick analysis on each of the three (the New Orleans Saints didn't have a pick in the road). And I'll be back later with a column on what I think is the division's best story of the night...

TAMPA, Fla. -- When you add a Darrelle Revis, you subtract something else. Excuses. There simply can't be any more for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "The time was right," general manager Mark Dominik said Monday, the day after he pulled off a trade...

Feeling shunned by the New York Jets, cornerback Darrelle Revis was introduced Monday by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, promising his new team "will make a lot of noise" in the upcoming season. But Revis wouldn't guarantee he'll be ready in Week 1.

The rivalry between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints won't be the only marquee game involving an NFC South team in the opening week of the 2013 season. Tampa Bay's opener against the New York Jets is going to put the Buccaneers in th...

TAMPA, Fla. -- Giving up a 2013 first-round draft pick (and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2014 that could become a third-round pick) and handing $16 million per year to one guy generally is the type of move reserved for a team that thinks it's o...

With each day that passes without the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trading for Darrelle Revis, the more convinced I become they will trade for the cornerback. New York Jets general manager John Idzik and Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik, the guys w...
