_“Ira, who should I trade?”_
Joe gets the logic here, but Joe will also wonder if the Bucs should take it a step further.
Dan Graziano of ESPN threw out a name in a recent piece about teams that ought to be active before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
After watching the Bucs go full-blown Woody Hayes on teams the past two weeks with a bludgeoning run offense and very few passes (a grand total of seven completions total in the past two weeks), Graziano wonders why the Bucs are [hanging onto Chris Godwin](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50370030/trade-deadline-team-preview-goals-buzz-players-deals-2026#tb) if they can get a nice return for him.
> **Who could be on the move?** Wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. The Buccaneers haven’t completed a pass in their past 15 drives, and they’ve won their past two games. If you don’t ever need to throw it, what are you doing with all of these wide receivers?
Well, Joe will take that logic a step further. If the Bucs have given up on the forward pass, then why do they need Baker Mayfield? Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht could probably fleece Baltimore for Mayfield. With Lamar Jackson hurt, Baltimore is in panic mode.
It would suck dumping Mayfield, but man, when is the last time Mayfield had a good game? The win over San Francisco last October, maybe?
No, Joe doesn’t think Licht has any inclination or desire to trade Mayfield. For obvious reasons. Nor should he. But when you have to go back a calendar year to find the last time your starting quarterback had a good game, Joe’s just going to guess you have a really _mierda de pollo_ passing offense.
