Rumors swirling of potential McCoy deal coming.

by Buc Wild on Jul 28, 2010 12:07 PM EDT in 2010 Offseason Comment 28 comments

I'll chalk this one up to the infamous "various internet chatter". In my normal daily routine, there are certain sites and sources of information, mostly internet based that I check for sports news and Bucs news. Two months ago, there was no news because lets face it, it was the dead season for the NFL. Now with training camp two days away and getting first rounders under contract becoming the top goal, we're starting to hear some chatter as to who is close to signing.

Out of St. Louis, the Rams have said there are ongoing daily talks between the team and Sam Bradford. That's good news for Bucs fans. The sooner he gets signed, the more likely that Suh, then McCoy follow it up.

On Bucs news, I've heard anything from McCoy isn't waiting on Bradford (which I personally think is false) to the Bucs and McCoy have at least been in discussions to don't look for McCoy to sign before Saturday. Truth is, at this point, we are all waiting for the team and agents to make a move. I find it likely that Bradford's signing will mean the remainder of the top 5 picks fall in line soon thereafter.

I'll put this question to you Buc 'Em, what are the odds McCoy is in camp day one?

(I should note that we are not trying to rumor monger here, more reporting that there is a wide disparity as to what is being said in relation to McCoy. We are NOT stating that McCoy has signed today or will sign today)

I am still not so sure why...

the signing and terms of QB Sam Bradford at #1 has anything to do with a DT taken at #3? They contracts will not look anything alike, so “slotting” behind a QB taken #1 overall is just about useless to anyone else.

Just want it done and McCoy in camp.

They''ll look at what Bradford gets both in 2010 dollars and how it compares to last years and the year befores top QB

They’ll see what kind of “raise” he got and then apply that to the DL position. If Bradford goes 12% over last year’s top pick or top QB, it’s safe to say McCoy and Suh will want a similar raise.

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

Well I hope this draft class of 2010 enjoys their big money...

because that could all change by next years draft. Go Rookie Wage Scale!

I can't wait for a Rookie Wage Scale!

Devin Mcourty CB pick #27 Just signed with the Pats. 5 year 13.2 million. 7.825 million guaranteed. According to NFPOST.com

Mccoy has been a Buc for life

and soon he will be on the official roster, the deal will get done Mccoy wants to be here. BucBall is back and soon we will be scary on defense again

For life?

Are there a lot of Buc fans in Oklahoma?

Think about it for sec

He’s a DT that grew up right around the time when the Dungy Era was coming into being, you are a big kid growing up playing on the Defensive line and you see in Tampa one of the greatest DT of all time wrecking havoc, of course you will gravitate to him, expecially if there are no strong ties to a particular franchise in your family.

We already know he is a HUGE FAN of Warren Sapp, so anyway, you start following the team because of one player and start becoming a fan of not that player but also the whole team.He’s already stated multiple times he’s wanted to become a Buccaneer for whole life and how devastating it would of been if they didn’t pick him. He considers it a blessing that just when he was coming out, the Bucs were in position to draft him. It doesn’t matter how you become a fan as long as you become one and stick with the team good times and bad.

If anything, OU is LeeRoy Selmons alma mater...

and I know McCoy knows who that is.

Can't compare a rookie to Lee Roy.

No... I never would. Especially him.

Lee Roy is the man. Only Buc autograph I ever REALLY wanted.

by Cracker Ball on Jul 28, 2010 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions

He's said he's been a Bucs fan since the Sapp days

Of course, that could just be fluff, but he seemed genuine.

That’s nowhere close to ‘for life’, though.

Pretty Close to it I would say

McCoy was born in 1988. Sapp was drafted in 1995 and became who he was around 97,98. I don’t know about you guys but I didn’t even start following NFL to what could even be considered semi-closely till i was at least 8, 9 or 10. So that fits in a definite time frame for someone to consider to have been a fan for life especially if that is the only team you can remember ever really supporting as a fan.

I think he also said he was a Cowboys fan before that

by Sander on Jul 28, 2010 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions

I putting the odds ~ 40% that he is on Day 1

I think this Bradford deal is going to take more then a few days to get done and chances are him not signing until Sunday or Monday, which will obviously affect McCoy. I def think McCoy will not miss anymore then a week of camp if even that and no matter when Bradford signs, I’m willing to bet that less then 5 hours afterward McCoy is signed also

Who really cares?

I’m a Bucs fan dating back to 1984 but I really don’t care one way or the other. McCoy’s signing is notable but it’s hardly something I would hang my life on.

There are more important things to do in this world than worry about what someone else does.

And obsessing over who wins and who loses any silly sporting event is more than just a little bit ridiculous. None of it makes any difference in the world.

If you’re not doing anything to dramatically impact improving the quality of life for others then you’re probably not doing much of anything. Time keeps on tickin’ tickin’ tickin’ into the future…

Thanks for your philosophical take on life, but given that this is a Bucs blog, we're probably going to spend more time talking about McCoy than Mother Theresa.

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

LMAO!!!! Where do these people come from?

You should take your own advice

and quit worrying about what we are worrying about. It’s also gonna be hard to improve someone else’s life whilst typing away on Buc ‘em. Get to work buddy, there’s no time to waste if you are going to save the entire world.
