Should the Bucs Sign Richie Incognito?




Let's just get right down to it. The Bucs' guards are bad. Really bad. Terrible. Inept. There is no nice way of putting it. Every worsening characterization attributed to the guards' level of play never quite seems to adequately describe it.

Silver lining: Every single Bucs fan has a common viewpoint.

Perhaps the unknown players can get better as the season progresses. Guys like Kadeem Edwards and Patrick Omameh, while they haven't been great, are new to the league and may improve as the season rolls on. Perhaps even be adequate. Perhaps not and..... Oniel Cousins.

Then the Bucs invited the infamous Richie Incognito for a visit.

Incognito, who has been brandished The NFL's Dirtiest Player, as well being one of the protagonists in the Richie Incognito-Jonathon Martin Saga, has been an above average guard, according to ProFootballFocus, every year since 2008. In 2013 he recorded positive grades in both run and pass blocking leading to the 11th highest grade among left guards despite being suspended the final 8 games of the season.

Should the Bucs take a chance at typically above average guard play or do the negatives outweigh the positives with Richie Incognito?
