BUCCANEERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
CB Darrelle Revis medically cleared for cuts
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took an expensive risk after trading for former New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis. The pirates gave up a first-round pick in this year’s draft and possibly a third-rounder next year in order to bring him aboard. Tampa Bay struggled last season with pass defense and passed over several free agent corners that would have been immediate upgrades in the offseason...
Darrelle Revis cleared to cut on his knee
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis was once again interviewed by Andrea Kremer of the NFL Network for her medical series called Health of the Game: Project Revis.
One of the things that really stuck out is how confident Revis is in his surgically repaired knee. It also sounds like he’s been cleared to cut.
“I feel very confident,” Revis told Kremer, per ProFootballTalk...
Bucs have high hopes for rookie DE Steven Means
The telephone rang on the second day of the NFL draft a little bit earlier than Steven Means anticipated.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive end wasn't highly recruited coming out of high school and didn't receive an invitation to the NFL combine following a standout college at Buffalo either.
So when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers called in the fifth round last month, Means understandably...

Bucs GM set eyes on Revis as soon as he blew out his knee
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis was the focus of Monday's “NFL Total Access." His rehabilitation from his ACL injury looks to be on track and he has almost all of his mobility back.
General manager Mark Dominik is patting himself on the back as of late after pulling off the trade to get Revis, a plan he had in mind many months ago.
“Quite frankly...
‘Just getting ready for Week 1,’ Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar Darrelle Revis expects to immediately dominate
“Just getting ready for Week 1” against the Jets in the swamps of Jersey, Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar Darrelle Revis expects to immediately dominate on the gridiron. Recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered last September against the Dolphins in Miami, the 5-foot-11, 198 pound Revis was traded to the Bucs for the 13th overall pick in last month’s draft...
Bucs DT Gerald McCoy worried about Oklahoma weather
For Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, severe weather in Oklahoma is too close for comfort.
The third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft is an Oklahoma City native and a two-time team captain at Oklahoma who started 40 games during his college career. Before his stint with the Sooners, he became a standout at Oklahoma City's Southeast High School.
Severe storms...

Mike Glennon can win playing time with Bucs
Josh Freeman is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting quarterback right now. Let's get that straight before we go any further in discussing the possibility that rookie Mike Glennon could win the job. Tampa Bay isn't like other places like Jacksonville up the road or Cleveland where quarterback battles are as open as they can possibly get. The Buccaneers aren't looking...
Greg Schiano: “We have a starting quarterback.”
Since the Bucs drafted North Carolina State quarterback Mike Glennon, several have attempted to label the quarterback competition between he and Josh Freeman as a controversy. Speaking to the National Football Post, head coach Greg Schiano emphasized that the team already has a starting quarterback. Look, I’m not against that (Glennon winning the starting job). We have a starting...
Buccaneers defense an embarrassment, can they change?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense led by Lavonte David, Mason Foster and Ronde Barber were horrific in 2012.
Ranking 29th in the league in sacks and dead last in passing yards allowed, they were an embarrassment, or were they?
The Buccaneers finished number one against the run allowing only 1,320 yards on the ground and only 3.5 yards per carry. Opposing teams averaged only 82...
Rookie backup QB Mike Glennon aims for the driver's seat
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie QB Mike Glennon has big plans for himself in the NFL. Sure, he's coming into the league as a second-stringer, but if he has his way, he'll soon be running the show.
“I just want to be a good teammate,” Glennon said on SiriusXM NFL Radio, via JoeBucsFan.com.
“I’m going to be a good teammate to all the guys, to the quarterbacks,...
Bucs already hinting at a change at QB
The feeling that Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano is not enamored with Josh Freeman as his starting quarterback appeared to have spread to the front office when the Bucs spent their third-round pick on Mike Glennon out of NC State. Not only did the Bucs have Glennon rated as the best QB in last month’s NFL Draft, but they appear ready to fast track him to the starting...
Buccaneers Bring Their Big Guy Into the Fold
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed their fourth-round (No. 126 overall) pick from the 2013 NFL Draft in defensive end William Gholston to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Gholston had some solid numbers at Michigan State, registering a total of 142 tackles with 13 passes defensed, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 30 tackles for loss—10th most in the institution’s...
