The Official 2025 Off-Season Thread

[BucsNBills]

The off-season begins for the majority of the league with Black Monday tomorrow, so may as well start the thread.

Make a bold off-season prediction for fun if you want.


My Bold Prediction:

The Vikings sign Darnold long term. A three way trade between the Raiders, Cardinals, and Vikings takes place:

Vikings get a pick from the Raiders.
Vikings send JJ McCarthy to the Cardinals
Cardinals send Kyler Murray to the Raiders.

[Phantom]

JJ McCarthy to the Cardinals?! I’ll have some of what you’ve been smoking. Must be good shit huh?

[acmillis]

Bears hire Gruden and everybody laughs as it fails miserably

[Bucsfan83]

I could actually see him with the Saints tbh.

*Edit* - Then all the HC in the NFC South have ties to the Bucs, lol.

Hill wants out? Just imagine Hill to the Falcons to catch the pass from Penix.

This is my first time I haven't been in the playoffs, man. So I just got to do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be, I'm finna open that door for myself. I'm opening the door. I'm out bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day I gotta do what's best for my career because I'm too much of a competitor to be just out there."

Hill is dangerous with that speed. If Chris Godwin isn't coming back, I'd see what the Dolphins want for Hill. If the price is right, bring him on over. Hill and Evans in the same backfield will scare the pants off any DB coach.

Agreed but we can't afford him

[Grahamburn]

Want nothing to do with that scumbag.

He's got 2 years left on his deal. All prorated portions would go to the Dolphins cap. I think we could manage.

That would be exciting to get him in here. We don't have anyone like him on offense.

Anti-evans-vibe

[Bootz]

PLEASE!

This is team that signed Antonio Brown. Hill has done nothing close to what Brown has done. Worst thing with Hill is he's a womanizer.

[Navybuc]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Hill go to Baltimore and hook up with Lamar. One way or another, he goes to a contender who is looking for a WR. Feel like Baltimore still is looking for that #1 guy. Not sure Flowers is it. He’s more a good #2.

Commanders an option as well.

[Rocker]

PLEASE!

This is team that signed Antonio Brown. Hill has done nothing close to what Brown has done. Worst thing with Hill is he's a womanizer.

Oh… yeah, let me teach my kids to cheer for a womanizer.

That’s a bad take and you need to own it.

Says more about you as a parent if your kids have to be taught to cheer or not cheer for somebody. You don't know what these guys do in their private lives except for what the media and news tells you.

[Rocker]

I’d insult you, but it’d be a waste of my time.

So, take this raspberry instead.

Pbbbbbbbbt

[Grahamburn]

Piece of human garbage. Do not defend it.

[Grahamburn]

He’d never be brought here in any situation under any circumstances ever regardless. Deuces.

[Bootz]

He’d never be brought here in any situation under any circumstances ever regardless. Deuces.

Again, this is a team that brought in Antonio Brown. So never say never.

That said I doubt we trade for him and take on that contract given our needs and cap situation.

[Phantom]

I recall that we didn’t have any issues when Brown signed with the Bucs. How is that different with Hill? Brown was the worst one.

[Grahamburn]

Learned our lesson maybe?

And Brown was free. Hill is under contract.

It’s so stupid to even talk about. Just sign your amazing person, teammate, and receiver that you already know. Chris Godwin.

[Bootz]

Fools like @Grahamburn and @Rocker think they are standing on some moral high ground by saying they wouldn't want a talent like Tyreek Hill.

I agree that we should sign Chris Godwin, but the question is: what will Godwin do? stay with Bucs or look for a bigger contract elsewhere?

What’s Chris Godwin then? The sunrise?

He’s a great receiver. A great person. A great teammate. He doesn’t pout on instagram after a shit season. He goes back to work.

Oh. My QB is hurt and I can’t get my numbers? Boo fucking hoo.

Fuck Tyreek Hill. Go continue to lose. He’s a loser person. He’s a loser player. Any team that acquires him is a loser. The best organization in football got rid of his ass. No thanks.

Godwin is on IR...Again.

Hill is a talent and any team would love to have that skill set on their roster. You prove to us week after week you dont know ball at all. So this idiot take surprises absolutely no one.

We're not going to trade for Hill but if we did we'd be a better team.

And the Chiefs get rid of a lot of players. Our very own Mike Edwards included. Guess he's a loser person too huh?

And you’ve been doing so well lately. Back to the insults.

No. You don’t get it. You never do. People don’t like having awful people around regardless of their talent and they don’t like being around them.

Maybe you’ll figure it out one day? You’re one of them.

Have a good one. I imagine it’s extremely lonely.

I didn't insult you or call you any names. I said you don't know ball, which you don't. You think DL and edge rushers only drop into coverage in Todd Bowles defenses. You can't even realize when an EDGE rusher is dropping into man. You prove you dont understand the differences in concepts on defense.

When I say you don't know ball it's not an insult. It's the truth. If you take it as an insult that's on you.

I don’t have to know ball to know that Tyreek Hill is an asshole.

I don’t have to know ball to know that you’re an asshole.

You both let everyone know with your actions.

I think it’s stupid to drop Vita Vea into coverage 10 yards downfield on 3rd and 14. Sorry.. not sorry? It’s fucking stupid.

Having Anthony Nelson cover Christian McCaffrey ever is fucking stupid.

Nelson and Diaby jerking eachother off in coverage while the ball goes between them on 3rd and 9 is stupid. Sorry? Not sorry.

[bucarican]

Min not resting the starters is bad

[bucarican]

If anyone in this place is @BucsStan on X, you are weak!

[Rocker]

I don’t think that wanting my children to cheer for men of character is a loser take. Men like Mike Alstott. Ronde Barber. Derrick Brooks. Mike Evans. Lee Roy Selmon, etc, etc. Pillars of the community and gladiators on the field.

Your mileage may vary.

Oh so you bitch and whine that I insulted you when I didn't only for you to turn around and do it to me.


Unlike you that doesnt phase me. Just says more about you.

And by all means, continue to prove me right. You don't know ball. Linemen drop into coverage for all 32 teams. It happens. You won't find a defense that does not drop their linemen into coverage but you don't understand that because you don't know ball.

And there's nothing wrong with not knowing ball. You're just a casual fan. Stay in your place though as a casual fan and leave the ball talk to those who are qualified to talk ball.

[bucarican]

Anyone want to give me a free ticket for next week?
