With training camp slowly approaching, and the deadline for long-term deals on franchise players being today, let's take a look at the morning links at Buc 'Em.

Bryant and Bucs not working on long term deal - This shouldn't come as a surprise. I don't know that Bryant wants to be here long term anyways. If he plays well, his price tag goes up. If he doesn't live up to expectations, we might be able to keep him for a little bit less.

Another fantasy ranking for Winslow - This has him at #7, which is close to where most publications have him. We all know the upside potential and downside issues he has. Let's move on.

A look at players in new places - Derrick Ward tops the list for the Bucs. I find it interesting how the sentiment has gone from "He'll split carries with Graham", to now most people are touting Ward as the full-time starter. Winslow is also mentioned in this piece

Time to get the day started, check out the morning links and let us know what you think.

I hope we don’t grind Ward into the ground like we did Cadillac

I'm interested to see how Bryant's situation plays out

This could be really good or really bad for the Bucs. If he plays well, we can always tag him again, but I think he wants out. If he plays bad, he would be cheaper (in theory) but may not want to stick around these parts.

If after this year

He does well- He would be looking at 4 year, 40 mill salary.
He doesn’t do well- at best look for a clayton type salary.

For what it's worth........

For some reason I am not recalling what I was watching when I saw this but I saw somewhere during half time of one of their game last year Antonio Bryant was in the tunnel with another player frustrated, angry, maybe even discussed shouting,“Why do we have to play like we’re scared.” If I recall correctly he only got 1 or 2 catches the second half. Whether that was a momentary feeling or his actual feeling toward the team I have long wondered. But right now he is the best we got and would hate to see him go.
