While Matthew Stafford has managed to stay in Sunday’s game in Tampa, the case isn’t the same for Bucs QB Josh Freeman.

If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggle this year, it won’t be for a lack of preparation.

The Bucs, who have packed this month with Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and a minicamp, went through a pretty lengthy and intense session monday, which I am told is par for the course.

Bucs coach Raheem Morris revealed Thursday his thought about getting his young QBs — Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson — on the field together.

Come on people, isn’t there a better use for Twitter other than to talk trash?

Rams general manager Billy Devaney said he was open to trading the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft when he joined Peter King and Carl Banks on NFL Sirius Radio on Tuesday morning.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have exactly two viable fantasy starters, and neither of them is very reliable.

Although the Buccaneers demoted QB Byron Leftwich in favor of second-year pro Josh Johnson, the team won’t release the veteran, general manager Mark Dominik said.

The Cardinals are reeling, the Jets defense takes on the Saints this week, and more in Tuesday’s roundup.

Three games into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making a change at quarterback, as Josh Johnson was named the team’s starter on Monday over veteran Byron Leftwich.

With Byron Leftwich now named the starting QB, as expected, if the Bucs can’t find a deal for Luke McCown, look for them to open the season with four passers, according to a team source.

Byron Leftwich has been named Tampa Bay’s starting quarterback, winning the job over Luke McCown, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris notified both players of his anticipated decision Saturday morning.

The Packers are concerned enough about their backup quarterback spot that they could get involved in trade talks with the Buccaneers, who are shopping Byron Leftwich, Luke McCown and Josh Johnson.

There is no mystery with how Tampa Bay will use first-round quarterback Josh Freeman. He’s the backup. But for how long?

The Buccaneers have four quarterbacks vying for three jobs. The only one not on the trading block right now is first-round draft pick Josh Freeman.

The Buccaneers have been contacting other teams this week to gauge interest in their quarterbacks after putting off a decision to name a starter, according to league sources.
