Latest Bucs stuff from the legendary BucsBrief podcast’s Chris F’s Twitter feed
I’m a big fan of Ryan Griffin, but bottom line is that Fitz has the experience and was decent filling in for Jameis. With uncertainty regarding a suspension, this is a great move to bring Fitzpatrick back. Well done.

Latest Bucs news from Barstool Sports’ Steve Cheah
Two notes:
1) This couldn’t happen until Draft night because a) Bucs needs to ensure a player they covet doesn’t fall out of top of draft & b) Dolphins would have to ensure Mayfield is there at #7 & unlikely to drop to #11.
2) Licht made similar type deal in 2016 for Hargreaves— Steven Cheah (@CHEAH_SAY) March 10, 2018
This seems like pertinent information https://t.co/hsB11SIIZS

This is a lot of money. I’m confident most of it will be front loaded and Evans is a really really good receiver. Nice job getting it done before Odell breaks the bank. https://t.co/STxtS4J20Q
