I m tired of all these 1 year tenders

What is the point it does not give a player a sense of securement, does this has something to do with the possible lockout ? All this does is say we need your services for 1 more year 1 or 2 players is ok but this is getting ridiculous . Someone please tell me the strategy behind this, I don’t like to knock my Buccaneers but this makes no sense

Like the 49ers, Jets, and Saints

Both the Saint and 49ers signed 1 of their impact players to big deals, and the Jets have been making deals like they the only team who knows their won’t be a lock out. Not every team has been signing their players to 1 year tenders like the bucs have been doing out of the norm. Plus Mark said that Tampa has the money to do what ever they want

Yes, some players (mostly the truly exceptional players we don't have) have been signed to new deals

The vast, vast majority of players are still on 1-year tenders and will be throughout this season. The Bucs are nowhere near to being unique or different on this.

The team is taking advantage of the way the current cap situation is devised

As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.

I would add to that ...

considering the impending lockout, I don’t see too many teams getting put on the hook for multi-year FA deals or tender offers

Vasilli....Welcome.

Glad you brought this to our attention.

However, RJBLITZ WHERE ARE YOU? You failed. Are you going to have competition for official news-breaker?

Lock Out

It has everything to do with the lockout. If theres no NFL next year and you resign C.Williams to a big contract. Hell be like 30 before he starts his new contract. Why would you do that no team is going to sign a 30 year old ta 5 year contract.
