Depriving Drew Brees of Nicks is a win-win for the Bucs in the rugged NFC South.

That might have been true, except we signed Grubbs

Exactly, but the media doesn't want to acknowledge that because they aren't going to report anything positive about the Saints for a while.

I like how in the same slide they didn't even criticize the Wright signing and the $15M they gave him in guaranteed money.

True, we lost an A-Plus player at an A-Plus salary and replaced him with an A-Minus player at a B-Plus salary.

In todays NFL, resource allocation is crucial to a teams long term viability. In my opinion this was a true win-win for both teams.

We replaced a great player with a great player and saved a boatload of money too. The Bucs got a stud LG. No one lost this exchange.

We needed Nicks so bad, it wasn't funny. You guys were able to sign Grubbs right after. Good job by your FO.
