_“Don’t worry Todd, my cell phone is fully charged.”_
Hey, the Bucs really are active as the NFL trade deadline inches closer.
Who said? KitKat-eating Bucs coach Todd Bowles said.
Yesterday in his day-after presser, Bowles was asked if the Bucs were going to swing any deals before this afternoon’s 4 p.m. deadline.
(Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht has been known to sit out this annual event.)
Initially, Bowles suggested that the Bucs might kick some tires but confessed to his knowledge there was nothing “imminent” coming from the team.
So in a follow-up question, Bowles was asked, are the Bucs more likely to be buyers or sellers? Bowles answer? The team would be listeners.
> “I think you’re listening to sell and you’re always listening to buy,” Bowles said. “I can’t tell you for sure which one” the Bucs are leaning towards.
So never fear Bucs fans. The Bucs will be active today. Active listeners.
In Joe’s mind, the Bucs need to be sellers. The way things are going, they just might need ammo to trade up and draft a quarterback.
And Joe isn’t one bit happy typing that last paragraph. But, here we are.
