<\/a><\/p>\nDemonstrates blocking prowess.<\/p>\n
Bucs running back Sean Tucker is a restricted free agent. And it seems he\u2019s grown tired of a label that has been slapped on him.<\/p>\n
When Tucker was first signed by the Bucs, and in his early years, he struggled with pass protection. That\u2019s one reason he wasn\u2019t on the field much.<\/p>\n
Under former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen, Tucker exploded. And he improved his blocking, though he still had episodes of whiffs.<\/p>\n
Now that he\u2019s looking for a new contract, Tucker has gone on the offensive: He took to Twitter yesterday to display a cut-up of plays<\/a> in which he got the job done blocking.<\/p>\n It is as if Tucker was telling people, \u201cI can block, man. Here\u2019s proof.\u201d<\/p>\n Later today, Joe lands in Indianapolis as does the football world as the combine begins Tuesday and the Indiana Convention Center in the heart of downtown Indianapolis turns into the NFL\u2019s beehive and nerve center this week.<\/p>\n Tomorrow, Joe will get a chance to chat with Bucs coach Todd Bowles and Bucs AC\/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht. So we\u2019ll get an idea if the Bucs plan to retain Tucker.<\/p>\n Joe initially thought if another team wanted Tucker as a starter the Bucs would wave goodbye. But without Rachaad White, who shat all over the rug of One Buc Palace on his way out the door in January, and Bucky Irving coming off shoulder surgery, one could argue that in the final days of February 2026, Tucker is the Bucs\u2019 No. 1 back, on paper.<\/p>\n Here is a link that explains the compensation for a restricted free agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t
