ravishingone Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I m trying to think of the last time a team who was 3-4 spent big money on its 2 ILBs. I ll define big money as 8 million or more each. OLBs get paid and 5 techs. I thought Kwon for sure would be back at the beginning of the offseason, not I m about 50/50.

I think Minter has a better chance at a contract. He'll get closer to league minimum than $10M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBucfan Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Found this interesting from today's BA interview with Buccaneers .com. Seems to think we need more LBs with speed. What have you seen from the players here so far? A talented roster. There are some spots where we need to sign our free agents. I’ve never walked into a team with as many skill players as we have here; quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends, wide receivers, we’re loaded. We need to work up front. Defensively, we have speed. Whether we’re 4-3, 3-4 – that’s schematics. We’ve got players and we’ll put them in position to be successful. I would like to build this defense back to what it was when the Bucs won the Super Bowl. I think that will be music to Bucs fans’ ears… but excuse me if I’m a little confused. You’re an offensive guy… Yeah, but you have to have a quarterback and you have to have a defense. We have those. We’re just going to make the defense even better. I think we’re fine offensively. We’ll score points. I want to stress this year a lot on defense and special teams. Special teams is really where I think we’re lacking, big bodies that can run – 4-3 teams have always had that problem. When you have four linebackers on the field at a time, you have more of them on your team, so you’re a faster team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sryan66611 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 good stuff @SBucfan Some good takes and its interesting to have him talk about Special Teams I didn't think we were that bad on SP but i know we were better a year or so ago when we had Josh Robinson and Angerer was punting well.

Or we offer a four year contract and guarantee the first two years. No signing bonuses changes how we structure. But it allows us out fast.

I would imagine with the way safety contracts have gone down in favor of pretty much everyone else and the sheer quantity of safeties available, that contracts are gonna be lower than folks think.

I believe they ll carry 5 safeties and only 3 ILBs on game day. Arians is going to sign some vets that are his guys. Let s hope he brings a better caliber of a player then Quizz Rodgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
