I remember Gruden said there would be MAJOR changes.

I think this would qualify as major.

BlackandBlue · 11-18-2003, 01:51 PM

Yeah, big difference between release and deactivate. He\'ll be traded away in the offseason, I know he\'s mentioned that he would go to Dallas if given the opportunity. the way the Cowboy receivers played this past weekend, I\'m sure Tuna would welcome him with open arms.

Damn, this is a desperation move. I don\'t really see what it does for the Bucs other than say Gruden is pissed and nobodys safe. This team is imploding........ great

In the latest shocking development from a championship defense gone awry, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have deactivated former All-Pro wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson for the rest of the season, ESPN.com\'s Len Pasquarelli reports.

According to Pasquarelli, Tampa Bay likely will look to trade Johnson after the season, as it believes there are several teams that are interested in acquiring his services. The NFL\'s trade deadline for this season passed in October.

Although the team has not yet released an official reason for the move, Johnson had openly complained in recent weeks about not getting enough passes thrown his way and his on-again, off-again relationship with Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden is well documented.

An eight-year veteran and the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 NFL draft, Johnson has 45 catches for 600 yards and three touchdowns this season -- his fourth in Tampa Bay after starting his career with the New York Jets. For

Now it\'s being reported that Keyshawn and Gruden got into a fight and he was told to get his stuff and not come back...

The more I hear the more I love it. As much smack as this team talks it is good to see some of there own arrogance and attitude bite back.

BillyC · 11-18-2003, 02:36 PM

I don\'t like all of this. It could bring the Bucs down, but it could lite a fiire under their azz and we don\'t need that. They sucked just fine the way they were. :exclam:

saintfan · 11-18-2003, 03:25 PM

Man, that team is crumbling right before Chuckie\'s eyes! Sapp is overrated and gone next year anyway. I suppose it could light a fire under \'em, but I see it going downhill fast for the Sucs...ummm...I mean the Bucs.

Could there be a worse scenario for a team that just won the Superbowl? I think not, and GOD I love IT!!!!!!!!!!

:P
