Bucs: We Need Room For More Quarterbacks

Jesus H. Christ on a Segway, doesn't anything interesting happen on Fridays anymore?

The Buccaneers are floating the proposal that offseason roster limits should be increased to 90 players. When the NFL Europe exemptions were in effect, they could have that many on the roster and not violate any rules. Now that the spring league is gone (and what ever will we do without it?) there are no more exemptions and the number is a hard 80.

Some cheap-ass owners think 80 is plenty and don't want the limit increased. But sometimes football players get, you know, injured. Not bad enough to put them on injured reserve or release them with an injury settlement, but still enough to keep them out for a few days. It's nice to have the next guy already in place to take the reps and keep camp moving along at a good pace. Besides, this is a maximum we're talking about, not a mandatory minimum. Those owners don't have to sign that many players if they don't want to, but they should let the teams that want as many bodies in camp as possible to do it. The fact that it's the Bucs that are asking for the increase should assuage the notion floated by some crazies across the pond that the Glazers are cheap when it comes to their sporting teams. But of course it won't. Crazies don't listen to reason. That's why they're crazy.

So there you have it. Two posts about rules today. Fun, huh? So, I'll do what I always do and post a cheerleader pic as a crutch. It's getting harder and harder to find Buccaneer cheerleader pics that I like that I haven't used already. I may have to switch to just straight-up hot chicks that have nothing to do with football if I can't find any pretty soon, and... wait, why is that a bad thing, again? Well, I suppose a Buccaneer site should have some kind of tie-in with the team. If you have any Bucs cheerleader pics that you'd like to share, send them over and I'll post them on a slow day. Or a lonely day. Or a day when I'm wearing extra loose shorts. It's all good.
