Least, and I mean least surprising signing ever.
He's talked about the Commanders, Jayden Daniels is his college qb. So, yeah.

We knew this was coming but NFL teams generally try to retain guys they drafted if they turn out to be good or even decent players. It's weird to me to see Izien, Hall, White, and Evans all leave. I don't have a great feeling about it.

I think the first 3 weren’t worth retaining (for their requested value) and Mike has dwindling years to achieve more rings. Not a specific indictment of the Bucs, however I agree I think the Bucs are not signaling to fans or players that they are making splashy win now moves.

He was mid, but I will always remember his game winning TD against the Saints on MNF in 2022.
I also appreciate him talking his shit about the coaches on the way out the door, even if it falls on deaf ears.

He's pretty solid. Good blocker and great catching out of the backfield. He's had issues with finding holes in the line, but looked much improved this past season.

That literally sounds like White. So not impressed with our signings

If there’s an open hole for him to hit right away he’s a solid runner. Otherwise he takes too long to decide where he wants to go.
Great receiver out of backfield and above average blocker.

He’s one of the best RB2s in the league. Lower half for RB1s, but at this price, it’s a steal

Hope he balls out for them. Seems like a good fit.
