With no new CBA, four-year players will remain restricted free agents. Teams will be reluctant to offer long-term contracts with 2011 up in the air, and no certainty what numbers a new salary cap, if one is ever re-instituted, will bring.The Bucs will give fairly high tenders to Penn, Trueblood, & Ruud, & await developments. The Glazers, BTW, have been milking pretty substantial sums from Man U--maybe Sileo was at least partially right?? This will be a very quiet free agency season in general.

I've been going since I was 5. I've got you beat by almost 7 seasons. I've probably only missed 15-20 games over the past 19-20 yrs. It breaks my heart that I won't be going next year. Not only can I not afford it they're doing nothing to earn my money. What I wouldn't do for the Glazers to sell the Bucs and for Eddie DeBartolo to buy us up. I know I’m doing the same thing.

Part of the reason I am amped about the possibility of coming back to Tampa for residency was to be back around the Tampa sports scene. I have been getting calls regularly about Bucs season tickets, and I just cannot pull the trigger on it. I agree with you completely. It's not that we are bad, but we are bad without a current direction. I feel your passion and I think your reasoning is right. We have a good number of picks in this draft, and have the potential to draft a good class or use some of them to snag another talent like K2. Here's hoping we don't screw the pooch on this one. D –
